Santa Baby

This beautiful girl wasn't bother at all by the strange man in the red suit.

Not a single tear was shed during our unexpected photo op with the big man.

There was some beard pulling though.

Hi Ho Hi Ho

It's back to work for this new momma. This is what my classroom looked like when I walked in first thing Monday morning.


There were desks scattered everywhere, stacks and stacks of ungraded work, and I couldn't find anything I was looking for. Considering I had cried the whole way to work I was not a happy camper.

BUT THEN...


This little cutie came to have lunch with me and all was right with the world.

Being a working mom stinks but we're adjusting. I'm just thankful that between Rustin, and my parents she won't have to start with her babysitter until Jan.

A Moos Family Celebration

Tonight we celebrated Stevie Leigh's Graduation from UT. What a fun night we had!

Weigh In Wednesday

This week was a tough one with going back to work and all but here are the favorites & the finds for this week:


V8 Fusion light. Before I got oh so veggie happy I had to find a way to get more into my daily life. So I started drinking V8 Fusion Light Strawberry Banana. I've had the blueberry too and it's great. But the best thing about these are that they now come in 8 oz cans. 1 WW point each!!! So easy to grab and go.


I really like peanut butter with my apples but hate having to measure it out and find a way to transport it in my lunch box. So these are a def. hit! I just use one tub for two days of lunch time apples.


I guess this is a little more of a what I'm lookin' for but Crockpot has come out with a lunch crock and I can't wait to find one!!!


These Smart-ones steamer meals are good in theory, just like the Lean Cuisine ones, however this particular "flavor" was not as yummy as I'd hoped for 10 POINTS!! Thea meatballs tasted good, but the sauce had a funky after taste and the cheese all stuck to the bag so it was like using points for food you weren't getting :( I guess I'd eat these again in a pinch but I think the LC ones or just a regular Smart-ones meal would be a better option.

Recipe for the Week
Asparagus in a foil pouch with EVOO, Mediterranean seasonings, and fat free feta cheese...AMAZING! The picture shows it with garden seasonings but I like the Mediterranean the best. You just pop it in the oven until they're soft.

Month 4

Molly,
This month you started to show so much of your personality, and I can't wait to see what month 4 has in store for us.



This month you are still wearing size 1 diapers, but we're getting close to moving up to size 2. You still love bath time and have figured out how to get your hands on that little duck. Most of your clothes are still 0-3 some of them are sung but the 3month clothes just look so big on you.



You really like your excersaucer now and its so fun to watch you play. You get rather frusterated at one of the toys. Daddy taught you where your nose and mouth are and now your constantly trying to grab our lips or nose. The doggies have gotten your attention alot lately and you really seem to like to pet Grace's ears.You really like going to see Ms. Kat at church. You started to roll over and I'm ashamed to admit it but the first time you did it you rolled right off the bed. You were perfectly fine, Mommy was the one that cried. You've started laughing out loud pretty regularly and you pass out smiles like crazy.



Most days you eat every 2 hours but some days it seems like you can't get enough. You've gotten really good at taking your pacci and putting it into your mouth. You're still sleeping through the night but the time change really through you for a loop. You sleep best when Mommy puts you straight into bed but some nights we fall asleep together in the big brown chair.



This month you met your Grandma & Grandpa Pepe. You also met lots of Mahans; Grandpa Mahan, Uncle Aubrey and Aunt Peggy & your cousins Kelsey and Hallie during Thanksgiving. You celebrated your first holidays (Halloween & Thanksgiving). On our visit to Dr. Lam last week you weighed 13lbs 7oz and measured 23 inches long.



This is going to be another Amazing month, I can't wait to see what your going to teach me. I love you Peepers!

Love,
Mommy

Give Thanks

In every thing give thanks:
