Menu planning....

Hi Friends!

Hope you all have had a good week. Ours has been fabulous!! Other than the fact,I seem to have gotten strep throat..but thanks to a big ole shot..I am on the mend.

Celebrated our fabulous MLK wrestling team this week..such a wonderful group of boys that are truly a team in every sense of the word,supporting eachother with their words and actions.Can learn a lot about friendship from them. From Freshman to Seniors to the Parents..we all enjoy it so much. Going to be sad when the season is over : )
A few of my favorite boys....


Thinking of linking up to Menu Plan Monday as a way to keep myself on track with menu planning..but for now am just going to write it down here.

Monday...Spaghetti and meatballs with homemade sauce. Made a bit pot of sauce today to freeze.
Tuesday..Garlic Red wine pork tenderloin,twice baked potatoes,and green beans.
Wednesday..Cowboy Food..great skillet dish with ground beef,spanich rice,beans and cheese.
Thursday..Chicken tortilla soup,homemade salsa and chips,flan for dessert.
Friday...Not sure as Lindsay is finally celebrating her birthday with friends..so her choice.


Looking forward to this week..Love getting things marked off the "list"

Hope you all have an amazing week..because you can : )

Enjoy,
Erin

Been Awhile...

Hi Friends,

Can not believe it was May when I last posted. Time flies and things change for certain....spent some time today looking back at previous posts. It was good to read my "Ben" story again as I have been thinking about him. Praying he is doing well. Cried a bit when I read my post about Logan as he is almost 15 now..and it is unbelievable that Lindsay turned 11 this weekend. They are growing into fabulous young people and we are so proud...

Other than my kids growing up..the video that Logan made a year ago probably hit me the hardest. What a special time in our lives that was..but how it has changed. Truthfully..the majority of the families represented are no longer in our lives or if they are it is not anywhere near what it was then. It has gone from sharing meals and holidays together to simply passing pleasantries,if we happen to see them. Not sure what happened nor have any idea how to fix it...but truly think it is too far gone. That being said..We are moving on. Will always be thankful that we had those friendships at a time when we needed them but need to let it go.


Now on to more pleasant things...Starting this week,I am going to make some changes to my blog and begin sharing recipes,goings on, and linking to other blogs. I love the blogging community and am looking forward to becoming more active in it.


Apologize for the heavy post but needed to write it out to let it go. Much lighter posts coming soon : )



Enjoy,
Erin
