Our Day

I have to brag. I just can't help it. Let me tell you what my little man did last night. I fed Lucas at 10:00 last night and put him down around 11. Matt and I went to bed soon after and didn't wake up for 5, that's right -- count 'em 5 hours! I then fed Lucas again, put him back into his crib, and he slept for another 5 hours! Thank you Lord, we finally got some sleep! Granted, I am fully aware that this is not normal for a 10 day old baby and babies have a funny way of settling into a routine and switching it up suddenly. But I will take what I can get!

Today was a very special day for me. Lucas and I went on our first official outing without Daddy or Grandma along to help! And we were only 15 minutes late! I find that to be quite an accomplishment considering how much stuff a baby travels with and how I am routinely late even without a baby in tow! We spent the afternoon with our friends Meg and Gardner and Becky and Andrew. Seeing our three little boys together was quite an experience. Gardner, who will soon be turning one year old, cruised around the room, holding on to furniture and even took a couple steps for us; Andrew joyfully sqealed as he bounced on our laps and had tummy time; and my precious Lucas contendly slept in our arms and only soaked his little outfit twice! (We're having quite a time with leaky diapers!) The reality of how much Lucas will change during the next year was rather depressing and encouraging at the same time. Sad, because he won't need me so dramatically as he does now and encouraging because he won't need me so dramatically. I hope for many more afternoons of fellowship and girl time.

On a special note -- thank you to everyone who has been praying for us. Please don't stop; we are definately feeling them. The Lord has drawn near to us.

Goodnight,
Sara

I, too, look forward to more quality girl time with all of you, my friends. And Gardner will have little playmates whose parents instill the same values in them as we do in him. This has long been my dream of what I wanted when I had children...and to see it becoming reality is the greatest gift. :)
We love you guys, all three!

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
