Homemade Pizza!

So, Andrew typically works evenings, which means I never make dinners. I make something little for Beth and something else for me. But I don't have to worry about home cooked dinners for Andrew. This has been good and bad. I miss having family dinner time where we can make and enjoy food together. So, we've been trying to take advantage of lunch time a few times a week to have family time.

Today, it was homemade pizza day. I. Love. Pizza. It's easy, it's filling, and it's fun! We buy the dough from Winco (the package is enough dough for our little family). We buy all the toppings for it, and make 2 little pizzas. I LOVE stuffed crust pizza, where as Andrew loathes it, and prefers thin crust. So, we can each make a pizza that works for us. 

Beth was working over her dough, while Andrew was tossing his dough pizzeria style!

Beth was enjoying some Olives off her fingers!

This is the finished product!! It was my beautiful stuffed crust pizza! A complete meal with a virgin margarita! We loved spending time making food as a family, it's good, clean, entertainment. Well, assuming Beth doesn't get a hold of any sauce, which she didn't. This time.

We registered Andrew for his Summer and Fall semesters today, and luckily we were able to get most of the classes he needed. He even registered for a self study walking course. It's a course that has you set and achieve health goals through walking. I think that course will be more for me, seeing as it will start around the time Amielia is 6 weeks old. He will be taking a few online courses too, which is nice since he's working 6 days a week most weeks. He is such a great student! I'm very proud of him.

Well, last week I hit the 30 WEEK MARK! We are now counting down the weeks using single digits! We are taking our Childbirth Refresher Course the next 2 weeks, and we have about 30 pages left to read in our HypnoBirthing Manual. Last night when we were reading it, Andrew said "Honey, we need to highlight this section." It made me very happy! Andrew has been nervous about labor and delivery since our 1st experience was completely different than we expected. He hates to see me in pain and not have a way to "fix" it. So it's been a good experience for us to talk about what we want to do different and how he can help me during this labor and delivery.

Sorry it's blurry, cell phone camera!

We are getting more excited as we get closer to meeting our little girl. We've been trying to teach Beth to call the baby "Ami" or "Amielia" but she insists that the baby's name is "shhhhh"....Andrew thinks that's because "Shhhh" is what the mom's on the bus say to the babies who are crying. I guess she's just practicing. Beth has also found a new place to play....in Amielia's crib. I'm hoping that by the time we put Ami in the crib (3-6 months old) Beth will have either grown out of this, or she'll be more cautious around the baby. Fingers. Crossed.

Beth was supposed to be taking a nap......

Beth is getting bigger and smarter every day. Today when I gave her a hot dog and rice for dinner she picked up a piece of the hot dog and asked me quizzically "Doggy??" I couldn't help but laugh. I reassured her they are all beef hot dogs, no doggies, but the name still confuses her. She now asks for "Help" when she can't do something. She loves her letters and tries to point them out on everything. Right now the only letters that believes exists are "O, I, E, S, H and B." I guess that's a good start though.

Well this is the fun we've had the past week! I hope every one is doing well!

Happy Blogging!
