Eva is walking around the house all the time now. Sure she walks a little like the mummy but she is walking. I call her Godzilla because instead of walking around things she just blasts through them. Toys, shoes, you name it, she walks along leaving a wake of childlike destruction behind her.

Today we started getting a home delivery of milk from Munroe Dairy. This is a local dairy just over the border in Rhode Island. They deliver anything from milk to pizza ingredients. Eva is a milk drinking fiend and having a steady supply on hand is crucial so we are glad to have this service now. We are also very grateful for it and for the help making it a reality. I’ll have to get a shot of the Milk Box. It was very cool this morning going down to find our new milk box and inside a crate with 4 bottles and some yobaby yogurt form another local farm, Stonyfield. Stonyfield farms used to supply the frozen ice cream at Saint Anselm College. It was such a treat being able to go and get ice cream at the dining hall whenever you wanted some.

If you were wondering if we actually got the photos on the wall, we did and they look really nice.

This is the rally cry of Eva’s swimming lessons. Eva can really reach out and scoop, scoop, scoop her hands and kick, kick, kick her feet. I was able to see this today at the Y when we went to a birthday party for Eva’s friends Nate and Audrey and Allison’s friend Michelle. I have to say the involvement of Allison in the local area mom’s group has been really great for both Allison and Eva. They have both made some really nice friends in our area that otherwise we probably would not have met.

We had a nice Sunday, lazy morning and then to Church, Eva was pretty good but she gets tired right at that time for Church so it makes it a bit tough to keep her entertained and also quiet for the people around us. After that I went and did the week’s shopping and somehow lost an hour of my life. I thought I was doing well but I guess I was not because I didn’t get home till 1:30 and as consequence had to pick up Happy Meals for a quick lunch before we ran off to the party. Eva did enjoy the couple of french fries and some of the McNuggets. This is certainly not a regular occurrence as Eva generally eats what we eat and we generally eat pretty well each week. In fact we now sit down and try and plan out what will be made each week and how many days it can stretch and the like. I still leave Stop and Shop wondering how 4 reusable bags can cost so much. But I did pretty well with coupons this time. I think that as we do this we will also dust off some of our cook books and take a look at what is on sale and then look in the cookbook to see what can be made with that particular item, meat, fish or chicken, etc. This should help cut down the impulse spending and the multiple trips.

We’re also going to start getting delivery from our local dairy, Munroe Dairy. We’re gonna try this for 6 months and see if planning ahead helps us keep costs down.

By The Way, I took this shot with my waterproof digital video camera the Sanyo EC1, it makes a great Christmas gift for your watersports enthusiast.
