First, daddy celebrated a birthday this past week! He has been really busy at work so while he was working last weekend, the boys worked on his birthday card. We were able to grab dinner and dessert with him on his birthday which the boys loved!
My grandparents came to visit from Florida which was a special treat! They came about this time last year and couldn't get over how much the boys (especially Maddox) have grown. Maddox was just three months old when they met him so to see him walking around and interacting with them was a special time for everyone. The boys loved visiting with them and we were able to get a few pictures while they were here... hopefully as the kids get older, it will be easier to capture their sweet smiles!
I also tried something new this week.... its called Dream Dinners.. and I am slightly hooked already. I went with some friends to prepare some meals for the week. Basically, you place your order of what you want to make and pick either 3 servings or 6. Then, you go there and put all the ingredients together and store your meals in freezer bags or aluminum trays (depending on the entree). Then, simply thaw the food from the freezer, follow some basic instructions for cooking the meal and dinner is served! We have already had loaded chicken and potato soup this week (see picture below) and we are having layered ravioli for dinner tonight! As you know, I am not much of a cook so to have all the ingredients there for you (without making a grocery trip) and not having to clean up any of your preparation materials (bowls, utensils,etc) was pretty fantastic! I am going back in a couple weeks with another friend to prepare some more meals
Our boys are starting to do the sweetest things together..... from Zander getting a "snack" for both of them to eat or playing at the playground... it is so much fun to see this bond forming!
