In the Kitchen / At the Gym

After I typed the tile to this post,

I realized it sounded very much like a cause and effect relationship:

Because I'm in the kitchen, I need to visit the gym.

Ha!

 

Though that is most likey very true,

I really mean for the title to remind me someday of the places I seem to frequent the most.

 

I'm busy cooking for my family of four- and Harbor has finished two weeks of gymnastics!

 

Henry still seems to snooze anywhere, anytime.

In the beginning, I found myself rushing to move him to his crib.

Now, I follow the advice of grandmas everywhere.

Never wake a sleeping baby!

: )

 

 

I've been experimenting with a few new recipes these last two weeks.

One was a sweet chicken teriyaki.

 While it was really tasty, I don't feel like it is perfect, so I'll hold off on sharing the recipe for now.
Any chicken teriyaki fans out there?

 

I served it with our favorite Oriental Salad

{listed under the Recipe Tab at the top}

 

Harbor just cannot wait without a little taste.

He is a kid who loves loves cabbage!

 

I'll perfect it and share soon!

: )

 

I've made several batches of these little omelet muffins.

Really yummy for breakfast or a snack!

 

And they freeze and defrost well, also.

 

These two little boys.

I just love 'em.

I can't fathom a girl, what it would be like to parent a daughter.

My life is all about bugs, castles, dragons, and Lego cities.

And here is a funny for you!
We took our Christmas card pictures a few weekends back.
I tied balloons to the tripod to give the kids some direction and a place to look.
We have taken all of our pictures the last 2 1/2 years due to living 1,000 miles from home
and not having family to help.

 

It was a crazy windy day.

 

Beautiful family, aren't we?

{grin!}

 

 Thankfully,
 many turned out beautifully and I have already printed them and started my Christmas cards!

 

Harbor currently is working on balance beam.

I love that his classes are not just jumping around type classes,

though, there isn't anything wrong with that.

Harbor has just really enjoyed focusing on a few skill sets and growing in confidence.

 

And lastly!

We are almost all checked off!

 

I wasn't sure how my family would like the "Fall Checklist"

but Harbor recently gave me some ideas for a "Winter" checklist.

I'm glad he is enjoying it!

Being intentional is easy if you have a list to force you out and about!

Haha!

 

So, tell, me...

How are you doing?
