Weekend Warriors

Ya'll we had a busy weekend full of baby preparations!  We hit the ground running on Saturday morning after sleeping until 8:30 !! Thanks Eli, Mommy appreciates the extra rest!  By the way, I love this picture we snapped before church this morning. 


We spent the day cleaning out/washing/and organizing baby clothes.  It kills me to have to get rid of Eli's stuff, but we don't have room anymore.  I do plan on selling some of his things to help pay off the van...GO US!! Plus, Miss Ellie needs some closet space too.  Actually, she needs a lot of it!  
While me and Little Man were busy inside, Eric spent the day working on the lockers that will go in Eli's room.  Then it was a quick trip to the Dollar Store, some quick showers, and finally dinner time!!


We actually ate really well this weekend!  Eric made fried egg sandwiches on Friday.  They are fast, simple, and one of my favorites!  Then, I made homemade Banana Nut Bread for breakfast yesterday, and we had grilled steak, fried orkra, salad, bread, and sauteed mushrooms for dinner..YUM!!

Today I mixed homemade vegetable soup for lunch.  We rounded out the weekend with homemade Shrimp Scampi and Red Lobster Biscuits for dinner.  I know, we're awesome!



Cooking wasn't the only thing we did today.  We made a pre-baby check list, cleaned out a closet, did some laundry, played with Eli, and wore the dog plum out.  Hahaha!  There were also a few snuggles on this cold, rainy Sunday.  


Oh yeah, there was also that moment when I dropped my iPhone in the dishwater.  Stupid Otter Box was NOT worth the money.  Guess a trip to the ATT Store is on the agenda tomorrow!

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...

The Best Is Yet To Be

My two grandmothers are 87 and 97 years old this year, which is pretty amazing if you think about it.  They've lived through the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, President Kennedy's assassination, the race to space, the rise and fall of communism, the advancement of the information era, the attacks of 9/11, Covid, and dozen other "once in a lifetime" events.  They remember when indoor plumbing was a luxury and yet know what social media is. They're amazing. I can't wrap my mind around the magnitude of what they have witnessed. They lived in real time what we can only read about in history books.  It's incredible if you let it sink in. Maybe that's why they're different...not just them, but their entire generation. They're not like us.   They don't give up when things are tough. They don't complain about hardships or the unfairness of life. They don't fold under pressure or cower when they face uncertainty.  They speak...
