Here we go!

It's been awhile! How are ya? This is our almost 4 month old daughter, Violet. We went out for dinner last night at Pizzeria Otto after running a few errands. We enjoyed the white pizza with mushrooms and a meat & cheese board, along with some really old trivial pursuit questions.  She didn't have the best experience on the way home, as she's been battling a cold for a few days. Luckily, a little nursing and infant Tylenol calmed her down. It's really tough to see your child in pain and not be able to cure what ails them entirely. I've been needing a creative outlet since returning to work, and I've been meaning to write here for awhile. This will be a good place to keep a to do list as well.

- start filling out the baby book

- order photos from snapfish

- send photos to sister

- look into Clark's baking program

- figure out budget with Andy to see if  going to school and quitting work is feasible

- crochet hat for Violet

One more for the road. Isn't she the cutest?! 

Sunday Funday

On the to-do list for today:

• Make macaroni and cheese
• Bake pumpkin bread
• Curb my cramps with a heating pad/ibuprofen
• Get started on a new beanie
• Meal plan for the week
• Work on holiday gift budget
• Watch football and entertain the guests

How'd you fare daylight savings? I was really confused around 1:47am this morning when Andy woke up to turn up the heat. I was extra warm and felt like I'd been asleep for quite awhile, but the clock said otherwise. Andy said that daylight savings had happened, and in my mind it felt as if I'd missed the NYE ball drop. I fell back asleep quickly and then awoke around 7:30am. And now for some random photos.

February Intention: Gym-it-up 14 times

Every other month our local gym offers a workout incentive program: complete X amount of workouts, and receive an entry into a drawing for a free month of gym services.

Oh hey... I started writing this post at the beginning of the month and today is the 27th of February. My, how time flies! Well, I have worked out 10 times this month which includes 9 trips to the gym and one run outside. Not bad, yes? We now have dinner plans with the in-laws this evening, so a trip to the gym may not happen. There are still two more gym opportunities to be had (well, four if I feel like doubling up). We keep track of workouts on our home calendar by circling the dates we exercise, which provides for good motivation. I miss last year's calendar where we could affix star stickers on each day, but alas, there isn't much room for notes or stickers on our still awesome calendar.
