fathers day weekend

we had a great visit home for fathers day weekend.  it was nice to relax and eat yummy food! we also got started on a little project that we're working on for little lucy.  can you guess what it is? =)

 

   

iron

dinner last night consisted of ribeye broiled in the oven, asparagus, baked potato and a yummy salad with fresh lettuce from the garden.  pretty big meal but i ate the whole thing!  so yummy!  my appetite seems to be increasing here in the home stretch.  baby seems to be more hungry these days.  my dr told me to take iron supplements on top of the already outrageous amount that im popping everyday from my prenatal vitamins.  my red blood cell count was a little low going into the third trimester.  but thats fairly common when your pregnant.  so im trying to supplement with iron rich foods!  dont need an excuse for some yummy steaks!  asparagus is also iron rich and potatoes help with iron absorption. 

yumminess!

cant take credit for the delicious food or desert.  dinner: whole foods  dessert: la chatelaine

who says pregnant people cant have fun!!

i love my peonies, sadly they dont last very long especially this year with the heat they wilted away.

 i love my cream puffs!  not as good as MY cream puffs but schmidt's are pretty darn good!

 i never updated about the baby birds, well they hatched in about 2 wks like wikipedia said and they sat around in the nest for another week before they started flapping their wings.  they got so big that the parents didnt fit in the nest and only came around a few times a day to check on them.  sadly we lost one of the babies its buried in our mulch bed.

comfort food

we had comfort food last night.  whole roasted chicken with haricot verts sauteed with shallots and garlic.  mashed potatoes with homemade gravy.  its great when i make a whole chicken because i love the dark meat and nate only eats the white meat.  i always laugh at him because i can't understand how anyone can like dry bland white meat over juicy tasty dark meat!  hey but it works for us!

dont know if it was that healthy for baby but it was yummy and comforting!

the memorial

the last two years our group has made it to the memorial tournament.  its always a fun time, the boys go to watch golf and the girls go just to party. =)
