My new stainless steel kitchen appliances

Finally, I have all of my kitchen appliances replaced. The old ones, actually they were brand new, that came with the house, were black low-end appliances. I didn't like them. So, when we moved to the house in December we bought a new range and fridge, than we put an add on Craig's list and we were able to sell the black set. Then we shopped around and found our dishwasher and microwave. My favorite is the range with the glass top, it takes 30 seconds to clean, no more scrubbing the coil or gas top stoves. And I love my dishwasher- it's so quiet, so I don't have to turn up the volume of the TV way up when washing dishes.



I finally got A.J.'s highchair. I know it's not for this post but it's the coolest chair and it's worth to mention it . My favorite part is that it has adjustable height just with a press of a button, I can remove the tray and have A.J. having dinner at the table, or at the counter-top in the kitchen. It came with an extra tray, has a five point harness and seamless seat. Love it!

What's for dinner tonight?

The other day, after a week of having whatever we can find in the fridge for dinner, I decided to cook a traditional bulgarian lentil soup. Well, A.J. had a different plan, he was so whiny and wanted to be held all day long. So I grated a carrot with one hand, tried to add some spices while holding A.J. and he was sticking his hand in the salt box. I finally finished, had the pot with the lentil soup cooking on the stove, and I started to play with A.J. I forgot that I was cooking for a long time. The result was terrible - burned dinner. I managed to save some of it, some went in the trash and some, well was stuck on the bottom of my new pot. I didn't have any time to cook something else, so I served Hans my lentil soup with burned flavor. He just ate and was saying it's ok, not too bad....love is really blind sometimes:)

Motivation

It's funny what will motivate a baby to crawl for the first time. AJ had been reluctant to really crawl and didn't seem to get the concept of moving his hands forward as he moved his legs. That is, he couldn't figure it out until he got a little inspiration...

Day with A.J:)

Last weekend we painted A.J.'s room this very nice turquoise color. He was watching his Baby Einstein and I could here him from upstairs laughing. Then I got into the painting and I lost track of time. I just realized that I didn't hear him. I ran downstairs and I found him sleaping in his exersaucer . Poor kid! I had to move him to his playpen since we were painting the room he couldn't really use his crib. I felt like such a bad mom for leaving him so long alone and not checking on him.

Later that day A.J. got bored with all his toys. Well, whoever said that kids like to play with the box more than the toy inside is absolutely right. We took all the books and toys out of the basket and I put him inside. He had a blast! I dragged him around and he loved it! Probably we will need a new basket pretty soon since we play this game all the time.

Hans and his new hobby!

I know that I just posted something yesterday, but I'm so into blogging these days, I can't stop:)

A few months ago, when we bought the house, one of the things we loved is the huge yard. We had so many ideas about the things we wanted to do with it. But to tell you the truth I didn't really know that Hans will like doing any of the work. Well, he loves it!!!! It is so funny, how excited he is. We bought and planted some citrus trees. Hans will water them, prune them or just take a look at them almost every day.

I really want to change the ugly carpet, but Hans wants to buy more trees and install the sprinkler system for the backyard. It's funny how we can't agree what part to renovate first and honestly I never thought that Hans will want to do yard work that much.

Sworn in!

After passing two bars, we finally got the approval from Mass and Hans got sworn in last week. It was very lame because it took only 10 minutes and it was done over the counter in the office not even in a separate room. Oh well, I'm so proud and happy for Hans and all his work.

Happy New Year!!!

I know, I know, it's about time to start our blog. It's a part of our New Year resolution.

There was so much that happened last year, that we decided to make a blog to keep everyone updated at the same time. I'm still learning how everything works, so probably there will be a lot of changes in the next few weeks.

Well, it is going to be a short post this time. We just want to say Happy New Year to all of you! We hope that it will be a good one for everyone!
