A Full House

We have had a full house for just over a month now!  Everyone keeps asking me how its going having Jer and Shar live with us and it is GREAT!  We love it.  We all get along so well and it doesn't feel  "crowded" in any way.  They have been such a huge blessing to us... Landon just loves his auntie and uncle so much. 


Shari and I have been meal planning and it has saved me so much time (and money too)!  I have tried meal planning in the past, but never stuck to it for some reason.  We did it for the whole month of February and we go shopping every Sunday for the week.  It is so nice not having to run to the store every couple days for those few things I forgot!!  And when the afternoon rolls around dinner is planned and ready!  


Landon is doing great...growing like crazy and enjoying being loud!  He is 15 months old this week and that just seems so unbelievable to me.   He is still cutting teeth, so he has his moments of being upset and we are also working on learning how to handle getting frustrated and "not getting what he wants".  Its so interesting to me watching their personalities develop and realizing how much they DO understand and how much they observe from us!  Even in those frustrating moments I try to remember that God made Landon the way he is and He made me to know how to parent and love Landon.  I look forward to all the learning that is coming as a mommy!

 
I will leave you with a couple cute pictures of Landon playing with Auntie Shari, giving kisses through the chair...

He is so precious! Can't believe he's 15 months. Bummed we didn't get to catch up at the Oscar Party but hope we can see you soon!

I want to start meal planning too... I think about it but never quite commit and start! I'm glad to hear you like it, you've inspired me :)
Keep enjoying your full house and all the fun learning with Landon!
