We just said goodbye to our friends from church. They came over for lunch and we had a nice time. One of the couples has a very moblie one year old, and I learned that I love A LOT of baby proofing to do before Olivia is moving around on her own. I have too many picture frames and knick-knacks that she can get to! It was nice to have friends over to eat. I made Mexican lasagna (alternating layers of seasoned beef, cheese, and soft tortillas. Then, on the top layer, I covered it with cheese and scallions. I also made sweet Mexican corn cakes, a salad and there was peach cobbler with ice cream and Starbucks coffee for dessert. Yum! It felt good to entertain.
I think the best part, though, was getting the house clean for our friends. My house hasn't been THIS clean in a year. I nested when I was pregnant, but I didn't tackle all of James's junk. Everything is so neat and I love it. If James so much as leaves one pair of shoes in the living room, I'm going to spank him! (and not that kind! LOL!)
Tomorrow, we are braving the teething and tryng again to get Olivia's portraits taken. I'm also planning on looking at Halloween costumes for Olivia!
