Maren and Patrick Peng 彭家庭: March 2015
http://marenandpatrick.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Maren and Patrick Peng 彭家庭. Our travelogue and thoughts on life. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Pasta with cream sauce, parmesan, broccoli, sauteed mushrooms, garlic.can you really go wrong? Chicken and Zucchini Indonesian Coconut Rice. This was yummy and I have found a love for boneless skinless chicken thighs. I could see us making this again. Easy Oven Baby Back Ribs. I didn't have high hopes for this because the recipe is deceptively simple but it was really good. Classic Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.

http://marenandpatrick.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Maren and Patrick Peng 彭家庭. Our travelogue and thoughts on life. Saturday, August 29, 2015. We decided to bless E while we were in Utah so that family could be there. Patrick blessed him at his mom's house on Thursday, July 30. It was E's four week mark. I gave the opening prayer and then Patrick, Reuben, and a member of Eileen's bishopric circled to give him a name a blessing. Eileen, Sadie, Janae, R and I were in attendance. We have to take pictures? All the fam who were able to come. R loved it though!

Maren and Patrick Peng 彭家庭: Three weeks postpartum
http://marenandpatrick.blogspot.com/2015/07/three-weeks-postpartum.html
Maren and Patrick Peng 彭家庭. Our travelogue and thoughts on life. Thursday, July 23, 2015. This postpartum experience has been night and day from last time. I have been up and about from the time we got home from the hospital, even doing some light cleaning and fixing myself food. I haven't spent time in bed this time though I've spent a lot of time sitting and nursing/holding a sleeping baby. And can I just say that the stool softener they gave me in the hospital is one of the best inventions ever and wh...

Maren and Patrick Peng 彭家庭: E's birth story
http://marenandpatrick.blogspot.com/2015/08/es-birth-story.html
Maren and Patrick Peng 彭家庭. Our travelogue and thoughts on life. Friday, August 14, 2015. For context, R's birth story here. And did they want me to birth a baby in front of that poor man sitting in the chair? And said I was complete! I was shocked. I said, "Are you serious? I'm pretty sure Patrick and I high fived. I was still carrying on conversations and we were joking with each other. Patrick was taking selfies with me. I wasn't screaming. What the heck? That's an ounce shy of 1.5 pounds heavier ...

http://marenandpatrick.blogspot.com/2015/08/day-out-with-thomas.html
Maren and Patrick Peng 彭家庭. Our travelogue and thoughts on life. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Day Out with Thomas. Waiting in line for a photo with Thomas. E wasn't interested in the photo op. R wasn't interested in smiling. Sleeping soundly on the train. That look of wonder is what it's all about. Playing at the bubble station. Playing at the truck station. Look at that sunblock/dirt face! As I approached the table from across the field I didn't recognize my own child because his face was so dirty. Lesha...

Maren and Patrick Peng 彭家庭: December 2014
http://marenandpatrick.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Maren and Patrick Peng 彭家庭. Our travelogue and thoughts on life. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. 2015 New Years Resolutions. It's probably not a good thing when you have to go back in your archives to remember if you set New Year's goals. Heh. Looks like I didn't. Well, I might as well this year, right? Be more consistent about making meals: I go through periods where I just can't stand cooking but I need to set a better example for R and give poor P a break from the cooking. Less TV time for all of us.
