You are ONE Bubbaloo!!

Sweet baby Aaron turned one on February 11th. I can not believe how quickly this year passed by :-( I worry that Aaron wasn't held enough or given enough of my attention and I feel a lot of sadness over our need to feed him formula but in reality our precious grand finale is happy, healthy, energetic, active, babbling, laughing, running and overall absolutely perfect!! He is constantly on the go and chasing after his siblings, he has yet to find a food he doesn't like and he has a beautiful smile full of teeth. Aaron is an absolute joy in our family and is loved and adored by all! He is always laughing and easy going except when it is time to get dressed or strapped in his car seat. He is also definitely not a fan of shoes! Aaron's trademark is how he likes to suck his thumb or bottle and rub his ear at the same time- this cuteness always makes us smile.
We are so thankful that God blessed us with sweet baby Aaron. He is the light of all of our lives!

Cheesy Eggs on Toast with fruit

I'd like to document what it takes to feed our little army- how we are able to stretch some things pretty far and other things that we can not. Here is a typical weekday breakfast at our house.

Cheesy Eggs on Toast with Fruit for the 6 children at home each day takes 10 eggs, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, 9 pieces of whole wheat toast, and whatever fruit we have on hand. Our breakfast fruit is usually banana but this breakfast was made on a Thursday when we are typically low on produce before Friday's grocery trip.

A protein/whole grain combo is the best way to keep the kiddos well nourished through our school morning, and we serve fruit and/or veggies with every meal.
