"Hey mommy, I love exploring my house!"
We all loved having him around for three entire days. I took advantage of his availability and went for a longish run (12 miles.) In my head I always had the goal to run a marathon before each baby that we have turns 1. It won't be pretty but I am going to try to run the Harrisburg Marathon in November.
Ben and I enjoyed a fun day together. He enjoyed delicious peaches and pears from the local farm stand.
"Mmm....Yummy Peaches!"
He has started to make the "mah" sound and I think mama is right around the corner. We went with Andrew for a walk with the dogs this morning, he took a long morning nap while I thumbed through cookbooks and also slept for a little while. For lunch we made Andrew tacos and in the afternoon Ben took another nap while I ironed. (One of my least favorite things to do around the house). After Ben's afternoon nap we took a short walk to pick up a bottle of white wine for our dinner recipe (I thought I had some in the cupboard) and stopped by the hardware store for some shelf screws.
Ben took another short snooze around 4 o'clock and I started some dinner prep. I wanted to use the brussel sprouts today. We rarely make brussel sprouts and I'm still not entirely sure that I love them. After my morning recipe search I decided to make Chicken Francese (floured/egg coated chicken breasts topped with a lemon wine sauce) from The America's Test Kitchen Complete TV Show Cookbook. I found a recipe for the brussel sprouts on epicurious.com and made up my own recipe for potatoes. Today I used the following ingredients: chicken broth, white wine, chicken, lemons, parsley, garlic, onion, green beans, brussel sprouts, red potatoes and parmesean cheese.
After a much longer than anticipated cook time, this is the result:
Chicken Francese brussel sprouts and green beans, parmesean garlic red potatoes
While eating dinner, Ben let us know that we really need to put the bouncy seat away.
"Don't you know I'm too big for this mom?"
