February

I started this new thing at home. Instead of never knowing what to make for dinner, let alone lunch and breakfast, I decided to make a complete plan of meals for the week. This includes snack time between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner, with an evening snack thrown in for the man of the house too. It is helping me realize exactly how much I need when I write it down, because I remind myself of the days when different people are here for different meals and buy the exact amount at the grocery store. This also helps me stay motivated to cook and start dinner at the same time each day. I thought of doing this when I changed my bi-weekly grocery shopping schedule to weekly, and so far so good.

We've only skipped one meal this week with take out. Believe me thats better than it was! I made this amazing Ciabatta Pizza the other night. Wonderful!

You can now make out two small white teeth in Evie's mouth. She's so cute with teeth! She is also saying "Uh oh" and "hi". The doctor was shocked that she could say "Uh Oh" this early, so the proud parent that I am felt I should report that! She should be walking any day now. She can easily stand up from a sitting position without holding on to anything and can bend down and pick things up as well. She even bounces up and down(dances) steadily on her own! She has taken a few first-steps, but nothing more than one at a time.

Asa's asthma has been bad. The medication helps his lungs....I guess, but it also makes him a monster. I can't wait for this flare up to be gone :(

I am ready for spring now! I wish we could have solar tubes installed in our house. I would want one in our kitchen, master bath, master bed, and both hallways.

Asa is beckoning me...
