Almost crawling...

Audrey is finally, finally creeping forward.  Several times tonight, I saw each knee scootch forward before she collapsed and lunched for what she wanted.  She's such a long baby that she really has everything she wants within her reach.  It's a very long reach!  I think we'll be having a lot of fun with her by this weekend. Can't wait!  I sure get tired of her howling helplessly on the floor.  Now she can come right up to me and howl in my ear! :)

We had a really nice weekend at home.  I cooked like crazy, and processed all the tomatoes my parents brought me from their garden, making homemade salsa, and homemade ratatouille.  Then I made chorizo and egg burritos for supper with fried potatoes - soooo good.  On Sunday I roasted a bunch of chicken breasts and used some in chicken tortilla soup, and made apple pies in my new ramekins.  Today I didn't much feel like making anything for supper, so it was nice to have a fridge full of leftovers.

I actually went to work today, to attend a training class. I think it has been a good class, but I had to reschedule my week and tomorrow I get to spend another 9 hours in the same room. I don't know how working moms can drop their kids off every day. It'll kill me to say goodbye to them again so soon! I need a day in between to get good and tired of them, whereas Friday I'll be ready to give them away, I'm sure!  At least everybody is feeling healthy again.  Audrey's getting pretty good at taking her medicine finally, now that she's dribbled pink syrup all over a week's wardrobe.


My coworker told me today that she is expecting twins in March!  Wow!  She says that twins run in her family, so she wasn't totally surprised, but she's pretty overwhelmed. She and her husband had been debating on whether to have a family of 2 or 3 kids, but since they already have one, this makes that decision for them!  She said she really just didn't want to be pregnant 3 times, so it's a win-win.  I just hope we've got another person added to our group before she starts her leave!!
