Anybody noticing a pattern of going months between posts? Yeah, I’m really awesome at keeping up on my blog. Well I may as well just get down to the catching up!

Operation Christmas Child - that time of year is upon us!! I have been able to get a whole lot of stuff to fill the boxes for next to nothing!! Yay for post holiday clearance! I’ll be filling them soon (boxes are due on the 15th at our church) and I’ll take pics of everything!

Crafting - Unfortunately I haven’t done much in this area lately and I’m jonesing to craft! I did make an earring holder last week out of an old picture frame and plastic canvas. I made belts for my little ninjas Halloween costumes last week. Beyond that I haven’t done much, though my cousin is coming up this weekend and we always find time to get our craft on!

Kiddos - Gabe is doing great in 4th grade, loves to read and just seems to really enjoy school! He will find his way over to Papa and Grammy’s as often as possible and he brings much joy to his great grandma! David is a smart kid. He is also a very stubborn kid. I was pretty sure that by 4 he would not still be pooping in his pants. I was wrong, so so wrong. He knows what to do but doesn’t always do it, it is a daily fight for us. I am so weary of it and I’m just so unsure as to what else to do. Anyhow, he really is a sweet and loving little boy. He is very into reading every sign we see “What does T-A-R-G-E-T spell? He knows but asks anyway!

I have been keeping quite busy with dishes, laundry, and other household stuff that never ends. In addition to that I am now leading the Women’s Ministry at our church and I am very excited about it! I have also started attending a Bible Study on Tuesday mornings with a wonderful group of ladies and boy has it challenged me and helped me grow! It has taken awhile for me to be ready to really get involved in our church because of how hard it was to leave our church in New Mexico when we came here. God is good and knows our needs and he has really provided what we need here!

Weight Loss - 30 pounds down!! WooHoo! I’m almost down another size, I’m stuck in that horrible in between place and I’m struggling with losing. This is hands down the hardest time of year for me. I’m really going to have to try hard and be more cautious.

I think that is most everything, I’ll be back in a few more months to update again!! :0)
