Five for Fall

My friend AEOT just tagged me to do a post on my top 5 goals for this Fall. So, here we go....

1) Have a baby! What, that isn't also on your goal list?

2) Stay caught up on making photo books for the family. I am not good at getting pictures printed for albums - instead I prefer to make photo books. I just finished making our most recent book and now I am caught up! I know we will be taking hundreds of pictures in the coming weeks, so hopefully I will be able to keep all of these images printed and organized. Side note - I started making these about 2 years ago and so far I've made about 20 different books.

3) Make meals to freeze. I usually cook about 5 meals a week and we often have leftovers. Either I want to just make half recipes and freeze the other half OR specifically make meals to have on hand.

4) Finish Miss A's baby book. Actually, I should say start and finish her baby book. Back when I was pregnant with her, I had the hardest time finding a book that I even liked and then somehow I ended up with 3 or 4 books - all of which are sitting completely blank. Oops. So, not only is my goal to finish her book, but it is to stay on top of Baby #2's book.

5) Pick a baby name. Yeah, I know the majority of these goals pertain to the baby, but oh well. That is what happens when you are about 20 months pregnant. I have about 6 weeks to go, which means we have about 6 weeks and 30 hours to pick a name. For some reason, we have a much easier time agreeing on girl names vs boy names. Last time, we did not have a boy name picked out until I was at the hospital, in labor. And I have a feeling we are headed in the same direction this time.

2 Additional Thoughts:

How funny- boys names are SO much easier for us than girls names are! We've got at least 3 lined up (and one? maybe two? girls names- though I don't think we're sold on either).

Annie's eats blog has a few posts on freezing meals. You should check her out. DEfinitely consider making a few batches of soup for the freezer (and individually frozen biscuits to go with).

Only six weeks- yea!!!!!!!!

We were the opposite. We had a girl name picked out before our gender ultrasound, but we didn't decide on a boy name until after my son (Will) was born. Good luck!
