Our sweet little boy

It's hard to believe that Lucas will be one month old tomorrow. A month! So much has happened in the past month, and our sweet little boy is growing. Lucas can now focus his eyes on our faces and on objects around 12-18 inches from him. He has even began showing an interest in a little stuffed lamb that sits on his changing table. Matt and I are fascinated by the way Lucas swings his arms about trying to hit the animals hanging above him in his bouncy seat. We've even caught a few smiles! That's right -- Lucas is now starting to smile intentionally at us. And it is beautiful! He is beautiful! Lucas had his first official photo shoot this week. A friend from work came to our home and snapped her camera as we posed inside and outside. I'll try to get some pictures up soon.

A dear friend of mine, Kathryn, has been staying with us during her trip to SC. Kat and I were suitemates in college and close friends. She is currently working for Kingdom Building Minisitries in Colorado and I miss her dearly. I love the way she so naturally and carefully handles Lucas and only laughs when he poos on her pants! (We still have an occasional problem with leaky diapers!)

My Mom came up and stayed with us these past few days. I think she was amazed at how much Lucas has grown! It had been three weeks since her last visit. We left Lucas with his Grandma last night for an hour while Matt and I went to visit friends, Chris and Jennie, in the hospital. Jennie delivered a tiny baby girl yesterday and we are all so excited! Last night was the first official time Lucas was left with a "babysitter" and he did great! Slept the entire time in Grandma's arms! I have to admit I had a hard time being gone so long. After a quick stop at Walgreens, I was practically pushing Matt out the door to get us back home!

In one month's time our world has turned upside down. Thank you Lucas for changing our lives. You challenge us, you inspire us, and you amaze us. We love you, precious little one.

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 ...
