Day 2!

I'm back! You should be impressed. Well, the weather is finally wonderful again. We had a massive downpour last night, thank you Jesus(!), and some cooler air came in with it. While we seriously needed the rain, I was a little bummed to miss out on MUTS. However, the boy and I ventured out into the storm to go play with my good friend, Melissa, and her sweet boy, Lucas. It's so wonderful to have a place away from home that you can just show up and feel at home. Too bad we're leaving soon... Anyway, here's a glimpse into our life today:

The agenda... Well, today turned out to be rather busy! Melissa and Lucas came over so that Melissa and I could go check out the Thrift Shop on post. You never know when you'll find something that you just need. After that, I put the finishing touches on the grocery list and headed out to the bank and then off to the commissary for some shopping. It is such a great feeling to have food in the house. Actually, I always have a huge desire to cook everything all at once, or eat all the snacks. Oh yeah, you may be wondering where my child was during all of this. Matt pretty much had a day off so he got to be the babysitter for the day while I ran errands in peace! : ) I love his job!! After that, dinner was made, a walk was taken, we played with some neighbors while outside, and now I'm getting ready to go for a run with some other friends on post. I can't wait to hit the bed!

The menu... The big meal prepared today was BBQ Chicken Pizza. YUM!! Homemade crust, caramelized onions, bacon, chicken, and freshly grated cheese. Delish!

The world of the boy... Ok, so I'm seriously loving this age. Today he started signing "please." Ahhhdorable. Also, while taking a bath he asked what the bubbles were. After I told him it was a bubble, he looked up at me and said, "Buh buh." Oh my gosh!! He tried to say bubbles! He's just so interesting to watch as he tries to figure out the world. He really studies everything.

A favorite thing about Hampton Roads... Alright, in preparation of our move, I've decided to start listing all the things I've loved about living in Hampton Roads. Of course, there are several things that I will never miss, but there are lots of great things about this place that I would like to remember. The first to make the list will be the sunrise over the bay. Who could not love seeing this out their window?












One of my favorite things... Today's featured item is this; wonderful, tasty, healthy, delicious yogurt. It's a little on the pricey side, as far as yogurt is concerned, but is a great treat. I have been buying the YoBaby yogurt for the boy for quite some time, but have started buying the grown up kind for me! I have even tried using it in a few recipes and have not been disappointed. You should give it a try! (if you find the Chocolate Underground kind, BUY IT!)
