Anna Claire is (finally) asleep and I wanted to take a couple minutes to update my blog a little.....things roll by so quickly, and when it gets super busy it's hard to write, or take pictures, or anything. But she doesn't stop growing and I don't want to miss big chunks of time!!
Tonight her third tooth popped through! I noticed it in the tub when I was brushing her teeth with the finger brush.....it's the left top tooth if you are looking at her. I hope the right one comes in quickly behind it, so that maybe she can get to feeling better!
We had a nice, unveventful visit with Andy's family. Since they were sick at the beginning of the month, we went back to stay with them for a couple of days. It was fine. We came home Saturday night because Andy didn't want to take a Sunday off so close to our previous time away. Then Sunday Papa drove over to help Andy lay some pavers in an area under our porch. It's been a doozy so far, but I think it's going to turn out nice. I'm proud of Andy doing it himself. He likes to do home projects, but he's just not had the opportunity to do a great deal, and he's certainly not the type to search out honey do's!! haha!
Made a great strawberry shortcake - super duper easy! Can't wait for Anna Claire to be big enough to "cook".....easy recipes like this will be wonderful for her when she's just a bit older. I hope she wants to help and enjoys time in the kitchen. I don't remember helping mom much, and certainly never doing it for "fun." I did spend a lot of time sitting with her while she cooked, and I want to make our kitchen a little more conducive for mother/daughter chats while cooking.......an over the stove microwave would be a good start - a kitchen island with two stools would be a good finish...... ;) Always another project down the line!! haha! Oh well - it makes it fun when you DO get to do something and cross it off your list!
Josh is coming tomorrow to help me stain our patio concrete.....I'm very excited about it. I'll have to post some before/after pics.....(I better remember to take the BEFORE pics today!)
Anna Claire eats really well when we eat country style food. Sooo....we went to Zack's today and she ate rutabegas, green beans, cornbread, pork chop.....and creamed corn. Evidently she was storing the corn up in her little mouth, because I teased her and she grinned at me.......and all I could see was corn!! A little corn grin!
All is well here though - life is good - God is good - I am so unworthly and so unfaithful. :( I have not been spending time with Him as I should. Not sure exactly how to rectify that consistently, but I do need to do better. Anna Claire will mimic my priorities and passions - not exactly, of course, but she will DEFINITELY know what I truly believe is important - by what I DO, not by what I SAY.......oh, how convicting that is!! Wish I had an accoutability partner.....
