the breathe of fresh air is however due to the fact that our daughter is sleeping so.much.better. (all the praise hands enter here). I read "baby wise" coming home from Colorado and decided to resist wanting to pick up Evynn at every peep and squeak and let her soothe herself. Turns out, she does those little wake up and cries for just 2-3 minutes then back to sleep she goes ;) We started laying her down for frequent and long naps throughout the day.. she cries for a few minutes but then is out for 1.5-2 hours. At night we do the bath, jimmies, nurse/rock, then lay down when she is sleepy but not asleep and she's slept 9-2 or 8-3:30 then I get up to nurse her again then back asleep till 7 or 8. This is huge for us people! While I don't feel any less tired throughout the day, I feel leaps less frustrated and overwhelmed. Yes!!
We got home Friday evening from our vacation and decided we would test our our Plated meals. We are very pleased! Plated is a company you can order healthy, organic meals online and they send everything (meat, veggies, seasonings, even butter) straight to your doorstep in a refrigerator box. Our first meal was small potatoes mixed with shredded brussel sprouts with a sage seasoned chicken breast. Then saturday afternoon I made a meditteranean stir fry with beef, artichoke hearts, sundries tomatoes, and almonds. Tonights dinner: trout with capers, rice, and green beans. Yum! The box comes with recipe cards that I will for sure hold onto.
On Saturday we took some of our youth students to a Tech Football game vs. Iowa State. And Tech won! Go Tech! I was so excited to go to a tech game for the first time this season... unfortunately it was way hotter than we expected and I didn't want sweet baby skin to get burnt so I spent the majority of the same hanging out by the concession stands.
After the game we went to Red Robin and enjoyed burgers, fries, and a game of "heads up" with our youth students.
Sunday after church we went into Lubbock to Texas Tech's Autumn Fest. Again, still hot as ever. Evynn slept covered up in her stroller the whole time so Cody and I walked around and ate some organic chicken bowls from a food stand there.
Codys parents were in town so they got to love on Evynn and introduce her to the selfie game. Haha, she seriously could not get over who that adorable baby in the phone was ;))
happy monday! i'm off to light fall candles and pretend it's cool weather outside
