I try and sometimes I fail, but at least I try. That is what I tell myself when I don't finish something I started. One of those things is keeping up with this blog, but here I go again.
So what have I been up to? A lot! Pre-school has come to our home and Maya is loving it! To help cut the cost I have been working in their nursery 1 day a week for a discount on our tuition and this also lets Maddie socialize with other kids. Maya's teacher is a cross between a favorite grandmother and Mary Poppins which makes for one wonderful person, teacher and mentor for the kids to look up too. Maddie is starting to crawl and is sitting up on her own now. Both good things but just adds another thing for me to watch out for. The hubby is almost finished with his Masters degree in Information Assurance (May 2011) but has another year till he has his MBA (May 2012). The good news is that he will promoted to MSgt (E-7) in either December of January and with that more money to help with the strained budget.
As for me, I have caught up on our digital scrapbooks and I have finished Maya's second year traditional scrapbook. I love being able to work on these, but they can be so time consuming at times and the traditional books can get expensive. The good thing about the digital scrapbook is that there are wonderful websites out there with FREE material for personal use. They have everything you need and even offer complete pages that you just add your pictures too. God, I love those! The only down side to the digital scrapbooks is not having something physical to show. I know I can always print them out, but it still isn't the same.
As for Christmas, I am almost finished with our shopping! I have Maya done, the nieces, nephews and other children completed, and just a few things left to pick up for Maddie. I have no clue what to get for J, but hopefully inspiration will strike before time runs out...
Well, until next time (when ever that may be)...
