Long Time Coming...

Well, it has been a long time since I have had the chance to sit down and blog!

The summer started off with me being very pregnant, moving into a new house, and starting maternity leave!  To say that it was hectic is an understatement!

Thankfully we had a lot of family and friends helping us with the move! They helped so much that I didn't really do much of anything except sit with my swollen feet propped up! They even came back a few days later to continue to help unpacking -- which more than 3 months later we are still living out of boxes and tubs!

Shortly after we moved, I went into the hospital to have our third son! I can't say how this delivery was so much different than my first one! It was such a more positive and less stressful experience.  Although when you are scheduled for a c-section, I think you are more prepared for the big day. Although I was prepared for the surgery, I was still very nervous and emotional! All went well and we welcomed D into our growing family in July!

My leave from work of course went by too fast! The days flew by, and my boys kept me very busy! I enjoyed being home with them, even on those days that were crazy and chaotic! I miss them like crazy now that I am back at work!

There wasn't much time for cooking this summer but that's ok because we did a lot of grilling.  No recipes to share because most of the time we just threw a whole bunch of different liquids in a zip-loc bag with some chicken -- and marinated for a few hours.  We didn't measure or really look at the bottles... Everything always turned out tasting so good!!

I hope to be able to get some more posts out once I get back into a routine.  Coming back to work as a mother of 2 has been taking some adjustments. So far no big snags, but it has only been 2 weeks!! Keeping my fingers crossed that things continue to run smoothly!

I have tried some new recipes, and hope to get back to meal planning again soon.
