After our yummy salmon dinner tonight (cooked by aar bear) I made us shepherd's pie casserole for Monday-Tuesday. I love cooking yummy meals and I love cooking two meals on Sunday so our meals are taken care of for the start of the week. My shepherd's pie was different tonight, and no I don't have a recipe... You can blame my parents for that. It has steamed sweet potatoes on one half (chunky not mashed) and steamed yellow potatoes on the other half (chunky not mashed). It's so easy to make and is and healthy. Loaded with ground beef cooked with diced onion, rosemary, thyme with some salt and pepper, then mixed with fresh carrots and green beans lightly steamed (I am not a big fan of mushy vegetables as you can tell). Throw in some beef broth and lil flour to thicken it up and d o n e! I am excited to get home from work tomorrow to eat it, Aaron asked if he could have a second dinner tonight, but I am making him wait.
On the menu for the month so far is (yes I make our meal schedules every month, gives me yummy things to think about all week)
-parmasean chicken
-spaghetti made with spaghetti squash substituting noodles
-lamb
-basil pesto tilapia
-trout with balsamic reduction sauce
-carne asada tacos
Making anything yummy? Let me know as I love a good meal. What are your go to meals? Always looking for ideas.

Baby girl!!!
We are dying with excitement. So much that we are ready to go to bed and it is only 9:43.
Today we were told "it's a girl."
She for sure is a SHE, you can totally see her lil girl parts and all. I have to say it was amazing. Aar and I both cried with joy and thankfulness to see our lil one today who looks like she is growing well so far. We did our full anatomy scan so won't know all results until next week but she was measuring on track and even gave us a big yawn. She is either already bored inside there and impatient like her mom or was really tired from all the working out she has been doing lately inside me.
I just can't stop thinking about what she is doing right now and what she thinks about the family she is coming to. Does she think we are crazy and thinking "ahhhh man" or is she jumping for joy? I know we are as thrilled as can be and are so ready for this bundle to get down here safely and in our arms. We daydream about her non stop and love thinking about all the things we are excited to do with her.
What about though one day she will go on a date with a BOY and we will have to take a deep breathe. That is freaky. Makes my heart skip a beat just thinking about it!!!
We both keep saying how ready we are for this. We are so ready for this next step and yes even though there will be long nights, worries and all that stuff we have never felt more ready. I am so happy we waited until the right time for us and did what we knew would be best for our family. We are as a result ready and up for it 100%. Can't wait to be parents.
I hope she is listening to the advice of our loved ones in heaven getting ready to come here.
