Vacation?!

Okay... I really need a vacation. Maybe this coming May will be just the right time for me. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I thought about New England, but that would be best in the fall. Thought about the Grand Canyon, but I would like to take the boys.

I'm in need of a vacation.... either by myself or with Carl.... NO KIDS!

Maybe an Alaskan Cruise? Thank goodness for modern medicine and the creation of dramamine!

When it rains.... it pours...

and I'm not talking about Hurricane Ike (we'll get hit Saturday?)! Yesterday, Carl got a call that our landlord is wanting to sell the house. He is wanting a bit much for it, so it looks like we will be moving. We are hoping to buy a house and be moved by the end of October. All of this on top of setting up my business.... which is going well.

I have suppliers established and will be looking to launch October 1st.

Alan Grey Favors (www.alangreyfavors.com) will specialize in wedding favors and accessories as well as items for other special events. We are very excited!

I will let you know more in the near future!!!

Weeds...

We not only have weeds in our yard, but officially have "weeds" in our house. Their names are Corbin and Cavan. Corbin is 3 (as of April) and Cavan just turned 2 in August(a week ago). Corbin is only half a head (and he has a very big one) taller than Cavan. We noticed this morning on the way to church that Cavan's 2T pants were ready for any hurricane (the floods). So this afternoon I retired all of our 2T clothes and now the boys share. That means an extra day of laundry for me. Corbin's pants are getting close, but we are going to try to hold off until after Christmas. Guess what will be on our list this year!! It's not like we can buy cheap pants at walmart or target...no... our boys have to be difficult.... we have to get pants with adjustable waists! We love Old Navy!!

Medical Debt

As some of you know, my father-in-law recently had a triple bypass. His family is not wealthy by any means and is facing major medical debt. I just happened to catch a morning show talking about medical debt. Anyone needing help can click the title "medical debt" and it will take you to a website that may be able to provide assistance.

2 down and much more to go....

Cavan is now 2 years old. We had a mini party at our house. Cupcakes, ice cream, and lots of coffee. My parents came, as well as Richard, April, and Ruby. We played Phase 10.... dad beat us all. We took a nice long walk around the neighborhood. I wanted to go to the dinosaur park, but they were having holiday events and closed down several streets. Parking pretty much non-existent. oh well. The kids had fun playing together. Cavan got a new tricycle and play-doh, etc....
2 down....hopefully no more than 16 to go (in the house anyways)....

Garden update

Well, our squash and zucchini seem to be doing good. Our eggplant and tomatoes stopped at a sprout. Mom gave us some herbs and a passion flower plant. Carl wanted more oregano, so we went to home depot and walmart. We got oregano.... plus green pepper, red pepper, eggplant, tomatoes, and some flowers that were on sale. I'll try to get some pics soon.
