Weekend Updates..

We sure had a nice weekend though it went too fast. During the day on Friday, some of our favorite friends came to visit...Vicky, A.J. and Zach. Having them here is always a treat. The boys play so well together which means me and Vicky get to sit around and talk (plus tend to the little ones). It is a nice mix of kid time and adult time.

Saturday, we spent the day with Coach and Flo which is always so nice. They are so near and dear to our hearts and we value our time with them.
Which then brings us to today, Sunday, which was quite an interesting day. It started off with our usual trip to Kroger which led us to discover that somehow (someone...and I'll give you a guess who) accidentally unplugged the extension cord to the deep freezer (thinking it was something else). Oh yes....pounds and pounds of meat and we nearly lost it all. It had all thawed but it was still cool. Luckily (and I guess I should say hopefully) we salvaged most of it by going ahead and cooking it and then refreezing what we cooked...which meant Brian cooked nearly 7 pounds of chicken, 10 pounds of pork, 4 tenderloins, and I cooked two roasts. We cooked and grilled for nearly 2 hours. It was something else. We have enough meat to feed an army. I suppose we were just lucky that we could save most of it.
Unfortunately, and I STRESS unfortunately, I lost nearly 80-90 bags of breast milk. Go ahead and gasp all you breastfeeding moms out there. When I saw the milk, I didn't know if I was going to be sick or just break down and cry. I had planned on weaning Abby in the next month or two and finishing up with what I had stored (nearly 3 months worth). I was so sad to toss bag after bag in the trash. I can hardly stand to even write about it. It makes me so sad. Oh well--life goes on.
