Did you know?

I have the best mom in the world?  She's coming to visit AND she's going to help me wash my windows!!!


Bryn's Tuesday morning mess

Bryn is getting into everything now. Drawers, cupboards, trash cans, anything she can reach or figure out to open...

Sydney on crazy hair day with backwards pigtails

Sydney got rave reviews from her teachers at parent teacher conference.  It makes me feel good, because she had gotten off to a bit of a rough start.

My massive project--if I can just figure one last guy out...

I'm finally this close to being finished with a family history gift that I've been working on for about 2 1/2 years.  Yes, really.  Oh, and I'm thinking the giant 3-ring binder I bought for it isn't going to be big enough.  Randy calls me a tree killer.

I have lost 11.5 pounds since August.  I wasn't going to say anything since no one has really noticed, but I'm darn proud of myself.  Only 31.5 pounds to go!!

I got a part-time job.  I kinda' stumbled upon it, but it's a great fit for me.  I will be a customer support agent for a tax software company.  I can work at home & I will answer emails (so loud kids in the background won't matter!).  I am still doing taxes on my own, too, so I will be busy, Busy, BUSY during tax season.

Jenna's in a real fit-throwing stage.  She can be sweet as pie when she wants, but otherwise, watch out!

Bryn with her first-ever pigtail.  
Unfortunately, she stayed home from church with a sick dad & no one got to see it until now.

My garden officially froze last night.  My tomatoes, peppers & cantaloupe were the last things left.  Actually, my strawberries are still producing, though.

We are expanding our alarm company into several other states (Kentucky and Arizona as of now).  Randy stays busy with all of that & his MBA classes.  I can't wait until he's done with school next June!

Props to you on loosing!!!! I think it's just great, and you should say it out loud, it makes it more real and then you want to continue. Maybe one day it will be my turn.
