Good morning…good because Abram is asleep…at the moment…I think. Although I’m not totally sure. I may only have seconds 😛  On to a new week. Not too crazy of a week thankfully.

Last week was quite busy. And such odd weather for winter in Michigan! On Sunday we were playing in the snow. Yesterday we went for a family walk around the neighborhood…I didn’t even have a winter coat on! We had lots of fun activities. In the kitchen I made farmer’s cheese, sour cream, yogurt, (oh, here come the cries 🙁 and ice cream. I also finally had a little time to do some organizing in the living room and clean up in the kitchen.

Hopefully this week will be productive and relaxing. I’m going to try to plan better and do more prep work at once so I have more “free” time. If I have a morning that I don’t have anything pressing that needs to be done (i.e. make breakfast, etc.) then I will use it to sew, clean or sleep a little longer. I’m also planning to do a fair amount of grain soaking and try a couple recipes. I’d like to make granola, pesto, pureed carrots (for Abram), ice cream. Possibly beet kvaas and mayo. And we’ll see if Rebecca and I come up with any baking projects. I might bake my nephew’s birthday cake this week. I’m trying to plan breakfasts again. What you see on the menu is what Justin is eating for breakfast. Some mornings I will have the same thing. Others I won’t. My breakfasts in general will be salads, leftovers, smoothies, toast w/ almond butter fruit and eggs. It just depends what sounds good and how much time I have.

This week isn’t too busy. Although there is a chance to add a couple activities. Today is church. And of course watching the Super Bowl…or I should say Justin and Rebecca watching the SB while Abram and I play and do some food prep for the week. Monday I need to make a trip to Target, and I have a nursery cmt meeting. Tuesday is Kindermusik. Saturday is swimming. We could possibly go to the library again this week. And there is a chance for a playdate.

I gave my big update yesterday. Overall I’m doing pretty well. Especially considering I’m still on antibiotics. I’m feeling a little more like myself these days. And I have more energy. I hope this continues.

Here’s what’s on the menu. Tonight’s menu is a bit scattered. Justin likes lots of munchies for Super Bowl. And he got to pick one junk food request. His choice was frozen pizza. I don’t remember the last time I had a frozen pizza in the house. That’s what he’ll be eating. Rebecca and I will eat the other stuff 🙂

A final note of good news…one of Abram’s teeth finally came through! The one next to it should come any day now. I can’t wait for that. Poor little guy.

    So who was Justin rooting for in the SuperBowl? What a great game, it was!! Kevin and I didn’t really care much who won, though. We don’t have any alliances with either team.
