HANGING OUT

It's Friday night and I was hoping we would be hanging out with friends.  Instead I'm hanging out with my iPad and my pillow.  A yucky head cold has got me down.  I hate to complain much though because I prayed that I would not be sick when Daven decided to come and I wasn't.  Thank you God.  If I've got to be sick, I'm glad it's this week and that I'm home.  I'm being a good girl and taking it nice and easy :)

What's YOUR exciting plans for the weekend?

IT'S OCTOBER SOOOOOO

Can you believe it...I haven't been on everyone's case about getting a mammogram in quite some time :-) And October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month after all.

Having a new grandson has kept me from thinking about anything but HIM! LOL

Awwww...what a sweetie pie.

looking very alert after his bath

BUT...
Be sure to get your mammograms girls.  Mine literally saved my life :-)

Here's a little joke for you......

What did the ghost say to the bees?

Easy, right?

Get it?  Boo bees

Don't forget to get your "boo bees" checked.
Soon, okay?

A BEACH AND SOUP KIND OF DAY

Gosh, I'm loving our weather.  Cool crisp air in the mornings, warm throughout the day and then the coolness returns in time for dinner and then some good snuggling under the covers.  LOVE IT!

The weather also makes me want to get out and get some exercise, which is great since I didn't do anything for the last two weeks except love on Daven ;-)

Today I got in a good walk AND a bike ride over to the beach.  Wow, what a beautiful day!  Absolutely gorgeous, even though the purple flag was flying since there were jellyfish in the water today.

After a day of exercise...and when the evening starts getting a bit chilly...a hot bowl of soup hits the spot.  Know what I mean?

So I made a pot of chicken noodle soup using a recipe that my son-in-love Jay has made for us.  It's easy and oh.so.good!

And it tasted even better in my new soup mug Bree gave me. 

Love the message!  wink wink

CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

chicken breast (approx. 3 cups of meat)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
12 cups Progresso low sodium chicken broth (in cartons)
3 chicken flavored bouillon cubes
1 bunch celery, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 or 3 tablespoons of cornstarch
1/4 cup water

3 cups wide egg noodles

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine broth, oil, chicken, and bouillon cubes. Cook under chicken is done. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water together until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Gradually add to soup, stirring constantly. Stir in onions, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 15 minutes.  Stir in the celery and uncooked noodles and cook for another 8 minutes.  (I don't use any salt, but I like to add plenty of black pepper.)

Enjoy!

This recipe makes about 12 servings

147 calories per serving and only 3.6 grams of fat

Sure wish my Mama was here to make me some of her cornbread to go with mine ;-(

HOME

I'm back home in the sunshine state ;-)

I'm sure you know how I'm feeling....glad to be home, but missing our girl and new grandbaby.

It sure was nice to be back in church today.

This afternoon our Realtor held an Open House so we had to take Miss Daisy and find something to do for 4 hours.  We headed to the HarborWalk.  What a gorgeous October day! 

 

 

Later we came back to the house and got the golf cart and took Miss Daisy for a ride. She's our "go go girl" and is ALWAYS ready for a ride ;-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sure do miss our "little bird".  Here's a few more photos taken before I left.

I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU :-)

George went home for a few days, but is coming back tomorrow.  I've sure missed him and he says he's missed me too, but I know he's really coming to see his girl and Daven :-)

MEMORIES

Being here helping Bree with her newborn son brings back sweet memories of when she was born.


(old photo - not sure what's on my mouth?)





Daven is such a sweet baby!

PLAY DATE

First.....thanks so much for all of your sweet comments about Daven and all the photos I've been posting.  We think he's pretty special, that's for sure.


Today Daven had his first play date with Izzy

You might remember this post when I took this belly-to-belly photo of Bree and her friend Leslie.

Leslie and Bree are good friends and work together...both are NICU nurses. 

Today Leslie brought Izzy over for a visit.  She and Bree wanted to watch the original Footloose. 

It sure was fun today watching the two babies together.

I'm having the best time!
I may never ever go home.............................

Hugs.

MORE PHOTOS? OH YES!

A "real" photographer came this morning to take Daven's one week old photos.  It will be a few weeks before we get to see those, but here's some I took with my camera.

He's a doll, if I do say so myself  ;-)
And so very very sweet.

The top photo is Bree when she was a baby and the bottom one is Jay.  I think Daven looks like both of them.  A perfect combination.

He's got to grow into his cowboy boots.  Bree and I found them a few weeks before he was born and just had to have them ;-)

Mommy and Daddy's rings are a bit too big :-)
