On Our Own - Time Together

As most of you know, our little family is now living in married student campus housing. It is so nice to be on our own again. I've been trying a bunch of new recipes in our tiny kitchen, but wish I had more time than I do... Eeva doesn't like to give me too much time without holding her or carrying her around, so I have to pick short and easy recipes if possible, and I love finding freezable recipes to store for those nights when I just don't have time to really cook at all. Kirk has been such a wonderful husband and father, he still brings Eeva to me when she wakes up in the middle of the night whimpering for food, and he does the middle of the night diaper changes when they're needed. He takes such good care of our little angel. We had two of our first romantic evenings together for the first time since the baby was born the last couple nights. We pulled out our nice champaign glasses and had wildberry italian soda floats in them the first night, with a fun "re-get to know you" conversation about our favorite colors. That one ended early because the baby woke up from what ended up just being a nap before bed. The second night was Kirk's idea. He pulled out the glasses with what was left of the italian soda and made homemade real italian pizzas. The recipe didn't even call for cheese, but wow were those little pizzas amazing! She woke up just after we finished an amazing conversation and our wonderful dinner. It was so nice to have some conversation time to just revamp things a little since we don't have much one on one time now that the baby takes up almost all of our time. She is a very high maintenance time consuming little angel, and we love her to bits.
