One Productive Day

Posted on by Dri

So after a great week, Avelea decided she was going to be a bit clingy today, but somehow, I got a lot done!

To begin, yesterday, I downloaded How To Make Iced Coffee and decided to try cold brewing coffee. It’s not hard, you just have to plan ahead. To start, you put 1/4 c. of coffee grounds and 1 c. cold water to sit for 10+ hours. The eBook says you can do it in any container and strain it, or you can put the grounds in a filter that you dip into the water. I did mine in my french press over night.

Then this morning I pressed it and put it in a coffee cup to refrigerate and save for later…

It’s Thursday

And I haven’t posted all week. It’s been a good week so far, a very happy baby after we got her naps under control. She also turned 3 months old yesterday!

To celebrate, she has slept a record 11 hours at night, rolled from her tummy to her back, laughed and sat in her bumbo! She was a very busy little girl!

Very Long Short Week

Posted on by Dri

Ahhh… man, it’s been a long week (and it didn’t even begin until Tuesday!). And I’m finally sitting here in my jammies with a (decaf) latte, listening to Johnny Cash. I can thank Ansen for the inspiration, but it fits the mood of this cloudy day. Some of the laundry is done. Most of the dishes are clean. You can see the floor of our bedroom again. The baby is sleeping. I just finished a couple of loads of laundry. Now to recap this crazy (fussy) week.

I don’t know if Avelea is having a growth spurt, teething, out of her routine because of travel, or all of the above, but she has been mostly fussy every single day this week. I know babies sometimes just need to cry, but seriously, I have a perpetual headache from the constant wailing. We did have a tiny little bright spot today, though.

Whirl Wind Weekend

Posted on by Dri

So this weekend, we had quite a whirl wind! We went to Manhattan (Kansas… the Little Apple) for Ansen’s cousin’s wedding, with a little pitstop in Wichita on the way there and back.  This was Avie’s first trip! We left for Wichita Friday morning(4 hours in the car). Here are our babies in the back seat:
