What A Shiner!

On Sunday, Elliot was in her sunbeam class and went have a turn at the board, but tripped into a chair. She got quite the black eye because of it. This picture was taken this morning, too, so it has been a few days. Her poor teacher, Sister Listello, was so worried about her and felt so bad that it happened in her class and when she was behaving so well. Elliot is doing fine and says that it only hurts when she blinks really hard.

Bread

I have been wanting to start making my own bread for awhile. I know severeal people who make bread about once a week for their families to eat all week. I found a recipe for wheat bread to try and it turned out pretty good!

I don't know yet if it saves us any money or not, but it is sure yummy and I feel so domestic being able to make it from scratch. Now the only problem is that I just want to eat it all!

Haircut and a Crawler

Elliot was in desparate need of a haircut. Her poor head of hair grows out not down. She wants long locks so badly, but I just refuse because the upkeep (ie brushing everyday) is too much. She hates brushing what short hair she has. So I finally made an appointment to get my hair cut and hers as well. I think it turned out very cute.
Really the picture doesn't even do it justice. It is just so cute and makes her look so grown up. I am hoping that it will be as cute in the morning. Elliot did great at the salon too. Sat there like a little trooper.

As of March 1st, Grey is officially on the move. He has been trying for about a month to crawl. He has been "mobile" for awhile, but it is more scooting, some resituated sittings, and such, not true crawling. Sunday it happened though. He hasn't been totally guns blazing yet, but he knows now how he can get something if he wants it. Of course, as we cheer Grey on, then Elliot has to show us that she can crawl, as you will see in the video.

Spring is approaching around here and I am sure glad. It has been a little bit rainy though, which I could do without. But no snow is totally fine by me. I am up to 12 miles on my last long run for my marathon training and getting close to the halfway mark on the training. It is hard work and almost all-consuming. I am constantly juggling my time as to get my runs in. I have to give a huge thanks to Justin for being so supportive in helping me reach this goal by giving me the time to do it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
