Muffin Tin Monday! Theme- Yellow

This weeks "Muffin Tin Monday" theme was yellow. Molly loved having all yellow foods for lunch, and kept saying... I'm going to eat my yellow... I on the other hand was super excited that I had a yellow cup, fork and spoon. Such a fun easy lunch today.

Back Row- Corn, Mac and Cheese, Yellow Carmel Apple Sucker

Front Row- String Cheese, Mac and Cheese, Pears

Home Sweet Home!

We have had a very hard long week, but I am happy to report we are once again home and hope we are staying here. It all started last week Friday when we had to take Nora into the hospital with a fever. By Monday morning we thought things were much better, but after going back to the doctor for a follow up on Tuesday, we were sent to the hospital and admitted. It was so hard being in the hospital, but things worked out ok and after 48 hours we got to come home on Thursday afternoon.

Now I just have a very crabby baby, but it is nice to have her crabby at our house. She now just has a rash from the virus, and her legs are really sore from all the shots, but she no longer has a fever and is doing SO much better.

Thanks for everyone's kind words and your thoughts and prayers. They were very much appreciated.

Menu Monday!

It's been awhile since we have actually had a weekly meal plan. I am actually looking forward to making some recipes this week, even though I will still be throwing in some super easy suppers. Hope you guys have some great meals planned. Here is what we're having...

Monday- Grilled Cheese
Tuesday- Grands Pizzas
Wednesday- Quick-Fix Beef Burrito Skillet
Thursday- Fiesta Chicken Pasta
Friday- "Healthified" Chicken and Broccoli

We are MIA! Sick little girls :(

We have had a very, very, very long and rough weekend. Both my girls were sick. Molly had a horrible cold and fever all last week, and unfortunately, even though we were washing are hands like crazy and I am nursing, Nora still got sick.

We ended up at the hospital Friday night, with my two week old baby having a fever. Needless to say is was an awful few days for us. But we are doing much better now and are VERY ready for a "normal" week. Hoping and praying that Nora is done with the worst of being sick.

Nora is so happy to be feeling a little better!

Wordless Wednesday!

This is what I get when I say... Smile!!!

Enjoying our new "normal"

Just wanted to give a little update. We are definitely enjoying being home and getting used to life as a family of four. I am pleasantly surprised at how well it is all going. Nora is so good and has a much more laid back personality than Molly did. Molly is doing fantastic with everything. She loves being a big sister and is so excited to help!

We have had a few crazy things since we got home. The most notable was that we didn't have power yesterday for 8 hours! A pole had fallen down on our street and the power lines were on the road. So, they had to close the road and put up a new pole and lines. Crazy! It was a bit worrisome, since at bedtime at 7:30 the house was pitch black and getting really cold (it's pretty snowy in Michigan right now). I was freaking out a bit that I would have to pack up my 1 week old and 2 1/2 year old to go sleep somewhere else with heat. But thankfully it came back on at 9pm! One thing I learned... buy more flashlights, because those crank lights are way to much work and loud, lol. :)

Also, Molly has her first cold of the year. It started yesterday, and it is a bad one. Poor girl! And I am also really, really, really nervous because I don't want the baby to get sick. It is so so hard to know how to handle this. Today was tiring to say the least. And advice on this????
