kids, kids, and more kids!!!

I am blessed to have such a large family and so thankful that it keeps growing. Right now 3 of my cousins are pregnant. It's amazing! I am so happy for them and can't wait to meet the little guys. I just received one of the cousins baby shower invites. Of course the second I got home I looked up their registry on babies R us. It's a boy and it looks like the theme is turtles. It looks like they're nursery is going to be adorable.

Yesterday we babysat for one of our friends. It was so much fun! Their daughter Naomi is a little over 1 years old and is such a calm baby. She was completely fine with us watching her. I made spaghetti for dinner and she gobbled what little she could with her tiny belly. Then afterwards we went outside in our back yard and she met one of our neighbors who was a month younger. It was so cute to see them interact, it was almost as if they were actually have a conversation together. Dennis and I took Naomi on a walk and she was fascinated with EVERYTHING. as we walked she would scream WHOA over and over again. Once we got home we fed her fruit for a snack and played games with her. We had a blast hanging out with Naomi. :)

A beautiful Saturday and I'm stuck in JAIL!

Just kidding, I'm not really in jail, but it might seem like it. I'm at work right now. I like to call it jail because we are stuck in the back room with no windows or music. It's so quiet. Not only that but my whole job consists of peeling fruit. Sometimes I feel like an old soldier from WWII who's in trouble and has to peel a thousand potatoes with a dull knife. lol

The day went pretty smooth, We did on the other hand have one rude customer. He actually through a business card at us and slammed the door shut on his way out. Crazy people. Our policy at Edible Arrangements is that we cannot guarantee delivery times. Yes, I do agree that's crazy. If you look at it on our perspective though you'll realize it's impossible to guarantee it. We get multiple orders that we make that day. So if we let everyone choose a time then they would never get done.

OK that's enough work talk, I'm off to enjoy the weekend.

Breaking out the summer dresses! :)

Today it was 88 degrees!!! I love Spring, not only was it 88 outside but it wasn't humid. It's not every day Jacksonville gets this type of weather so I have to enjoy it when I can. I promise you by next month it will be so humid outside you would think you could swim in it.

Today Dennis and I woke up around seven, not my type of sleeping in but at least I got an extra 15 minutes. We've been trying to make the most of our day. So far the pain meds are still working for Dennis so I didn't have to baby him as much as I thought I would. It worked out for our benefit though because this way he's been able to eat better meals than just soup.

I decided to make eggs for Dennis today so that why he gets some sort of solid to eat. I decided that I'm just going to feed him anything that a toddler can eat. That way he doesn't have to chew it. For lunch I made my first soup, it was very good it was called Spanish Garlic Soup. It was so good, it was a broth soup that had a poached egg and slice of french bread on top. It was restaurant material.

We decided to go on a walk today do to the wonderful weather. It's gorgeous outside. I also decided to put on a summer dress. I have been wearing them for some time now but at least now I'm not freezing when I wear it. :) What a wonderful day.

Time to eat. ;)

Taking care of my boy.

Is it wrong that I am enjoying getting to take care of my husband??? Early this morning I had to take Dennis to the base dental office for oral surgery. He had to get a gum graph. Apparently brushing your teeth hard is bad for you and deteriorates your gums. So he was in surgery for 2 hours, and the worst part of the news is that he can't eat any solids for 3 weeks. I have to say I am loving spending time with him and taking care of him. I guess this is preparing me for when we have kids. :)

I've explained to Dennis before how heart broken I was when the last time he had surgery he was in California without me. I wished I could have been there so bad to take care of him. Luckily this time I am here and I'm going to make sure to take care of him whatever he needs. I've made a menu for the week of different soup recipes to make for him. Yes, I could just buy prepared soup....But, I love cooking and this way I still can. On Easter since I can't make a nice meal I am going to make Ham and pea soup. Sounds pretty yummy.

So far Dennis isn't in any pain, they've given him a lot of drugs so maybe tonight it will kick in. I hope it never does because at this point he's doing great. Well I better get going we're about to go for a walk.
