I've been having fun this week learning the ins and outs of couponing. There are big bucks to be saved and I'm getting in on it. I've linked a few of my favorite sites that I've found so far (on the right). This past week I made french dip sandwiches and veggies for less than $5 - we ate it two nights. Our Gian Grocery store also has awesome "meal deals" each week. Last week I bought a bag of Tyson chicken strips for $5.99 (with coupon) and got FREE: large apple juice, quart of Edy's ice cream and bag of frozen crispy french fries! This week the deal is a rotisserie chicken (yum)at $6.99 and free 2-liter 7-up and free bag of Dole salad. I'll start keeping track for April and am excited to see how much I can save on groceries. Since my income is no longer coming in, I feel good about saving on the grocery bill.
Hannah is eating cereal now before bed - she seems to take it well and digests it fine (everything works its way out just perfectly) - and it gives us all a couple more hours of sleep - yippee!

Almost 11 weeks
Hannah will be 11 weeks old this week. She just weighed in at the Dr.'s office at 10 lbs 5 oz and measured 22 inches. She's such a sweet girl.

Hannah's Baptism
It's been such a great week! What a blessing to have my 3 sisters come to visit and share in Hannah's baptism day. We also had Grandma Kathy and cousins and friends stay with us or visit just for the day. Hannah will be surrounded with love and prayers always. My oldest sister Kathy and cousin Jeremy are Hannah's godparents and it was so heartwarming to watch as each met her and held her and interacted with her - she loves them already! I think Hannah loves all her aunties and cousins and grandma. David and I got several nights of sleep as they all took the night feedings and insisted that we let them. We are so blessed! Hannah was a perfect little angel for her baptism - she didn't cry at all as our pastor poured the water over her head. She let out a little cry shortly after and the pastor joked that it was an "Alleluia" or a thank you for everyone's prayers. We praise God that not only has Hannah been adopted into our family, but now she is also a member of God's family. Grandma Kathy made her beautiful baptismal gown and cap and Auntie Kathy made her angel blanket. Hannah has stolen many hearts!
