Counting my Blessings...

So as I sit here writing this I am still surrounded by boxes and you know what? That's okay. We have been so busy I've barely had time to do anything in this house, I feel like we are only here to sleep. Mady's visiting so we've been doing fun Spring Break stuff...well not really but she's having fun. We've been to Grandma's for the grandparents to enjoy her visit as well, and we've just spent quality family time together. The kids begged and begged to go see Monsters vs. Aliens so we went to that, that was fun. It's so nice to be in our own place again, I can't even tell you how nice it is. My kitchen and the kids rooms are all that is unpacked but those are the important rooms. The living room would be done if I'd go through the rest of the boxes but it's a bit overwhelming.

Something I've done that has made me feel amazing is I've reintroduced myself to cooking. After living with the in laws for 13 months I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be any good at cooking anymore, but as it turns out, I think I'm better. My enthusiasm has gotten me to try new recipes and ideas...only after I baked chocolate chip cookies first. My big excitement is...I've taught myself how to make homemade bread without the use of a bread maker. Some of you may already know how to do that, but I couldn't fathom the idea until earlier this week. I just decided that I wanted rolls for dinner but didn't feel like going to the store, so I just made some. They are so YUMMY!! Jeff is truly impressed. Matthew is loving the banana bread and has told everyone to not eat the last four banana's because once they get ugly Mommy will make some more bread for him.

Well, that's it for now. I'm enjoying watching the kids individual personalities come out since they've been sharing a room for so long. Regan is doing so much better in her own room than I could ever have hoped for. She had me nervous but she loves her big girl room. Okay...good night all.

Have a blessed Easter and remember to keep God and His Son as your main focus as we remember the resurrection of our Christ.
