Baby Shastya!

Any feedback? Should I take a maternity leave from blogging? Loving every precious minute with my baby girl, making memories for a lifetime.  Thought I'd post some pics of our beautiful Shastya Felisya:) Her names are kind of a play on the word happiness in first Russian then Spanish. Both names are kind of translations/transliterations from these languages!

A shout out to Oconee Medical Center in Seneca, SC for delivering our precious baby. Excellent staff and facilities! Baby weighed 6 lbs. 6 oz. and was 19 inches long! Mommy and Baby are both home and doing well:)

Pasta With Green Vegetables


Anthony and I were were really hungry when we got back from church tonight so I made pasta. Here is a list of what else I put in our dinner:

4 TB Butter
Small Onion
Head of Garlic
Half of a Bell Pepper
Head of Broccoli
Milk
Dried Basil
Cayenne Pepper
Flour


Dinner was amazing. It was difficult to stop eating it!







Banana Almond Oatmeal

So I'm not going to lie. Breakfast this morning wasn't amazing. It was a little watered down, too much water in my oatmeal. Oh well, next time. Wasn't bad either, I just ate it. Figured I could use the hydration. At least the bowl I made for Anthony had the right amount of liquid.


Banana Almond Oatmeal:

Quick Oats
Banana
Chopped Dry Roasted Almonds
Maple Syrup
Water
Milk

Anthony's Birthday Breakfast- Chocolate Chip Stuffed French Toast!


Anthony has been wanting chocolate chip french toast for a few days now. I told him that might not work very well because you can't put them in any batter like you do for pancakes or waffles. Today I thought of a solution, stuffed french toast. I made him chocolate chip stuffed french toast for his birthday this morning!

Bread
Eggs

Filling:

Whipped Topping
