Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies

Well, in case you missed the big news around our house, we are being blessed for a second time! Today we are at 11 weeks,  5 days! Yay! I'm looking forward to getting some of my energy back in the second trimester. :)

Besides that, we have a major cold snap going on here as well as about 8 inches of snow on the ground. So, we've been stuck inside today. What better for us to do than bake cookies! I actually had everything I needed to bake my favorite cookies. They come out great everytime. And, hey...they have whole wheat flour in them, so they must be somewhat healthy, right?!
