So silent...
here in blogger-land! I haven't abandoned you, I've just been working really hard to get ready for convention. That's right, I am going to Denver for Stampin' Up!'s yearly convention. I am sooooooo very excited. I've been working hard on making card fronts to swap. I haven't done that many, but I am seriously squeezing out every last second I have. I have 20 more I have to make (for organized swaps), and then I can do the fun stuff. Hopefully I will get some serious time in the next few days (even if it means a little less sleep)!
Connor started school on the 5th for the summer. He's starting to like it. The first few days were a little rough for him I think... no bad reports from his teachers, just a seriously grumpy little boy at pick-up time. The last few days he has been happy and even answered a few of my standard mom questions (Did you have fun? What was your favorite thing today?). He was very happy today. He got to sit next to his best buddy at lunch! Unfortunately, we found out T was in a different class on the first day of school. That might explain a little of the grump.
Clara has been a shrieker for the last few days. She's just not a happy camper unless we are outside running around the yard. Okay... sometimes she is happy running around the kitchen. I think her second top tooth is breaking through again. I hate how they pop out and then disappear again! Anyhoo... at this time Clara looks like she's been in a fight. We were outside when she decided she could walk down our front stairs without any help. I figured she would stop, like she's always done in the past. Imagine my shock (and horror) as she stuck her foot out into the abyss. She got soooo lucky! She caught the first step with her face. The edge was right under her nose. Then she flipped and landed sitting up-ish. She banged the front of her head a little, but she was wearing a hat, so her skin stayed intact. That fall could have been so bad... that's all I want to think about that.
On another note, I'd like to ask for some prayers for our family. Michael's right on the edge of getting orders. The wait is driving me crazy. We are also in the process of some other big decisions. These will have a MAJOR affect on our family (hopefully all positive). There's just some pretty big things brewing for us and heavenly guidance is required. Thanks!

Stamping!
I have sooo been stamping! Thank God! I love my new space. I just get in my little office chair (with wheels) and sit in front of my new table and get to work. All my stuff is in arms reach (with a little roll sometimes). It's great. I keep getting lost in time every evening. I really need to stick a clock on the wall. That way I won't lose so much sleep!
The kids are good. They each went to the doctor this week. Clara had her 6 month appointment (she'll actually be 7 months tomorrow) which included shots. I am paying for it today. She hasn't been very happy and has been... well... smelly. Hopefully she is better tomorrow so I can get some stuff done around here. It's hard to do anything while carrying a 20lb lump around. Connor is also healthy. We got him a referral to see an allergist (finally). I am tired of GPs that seem to roll their eyes when I say he has an allergy. I feel like an allergist will, I don't know, justify(?) me saying he has allergies (even though he's already tested positive). We'll see in a few months (2 weeks for the referral to come back, at least 2 for the appointment and then a few for the labs to come back etc.) *sigh*
Well, I came up with my next entry while typing up this one... stay tuned for What I Miss About Virginia! ~:-)

He's home!
Woo hoo! After much anticipation (and a surprise move of date) Michael is home. Actually, he's been home, which explains my lack of posting. He has duty tonight, which explains my current posting... hehe.
With Michael's return on Saturday, I realized Christmas is quickly arriving and I have done nearly nothing. I did a little shopping. By a little, I am serious - I've gotten Michael's gift from us, Clara's gift from Connor and our gift for my father-in-law. I ordered my parent's gift several weeks ago - it got back ordered and now I'm beginning to doubt it will get here. We'll see. Aside from that, I have some simple sewing to do and all of Santa's shopping... ah! Now I'm freaking out. Luckily, Michael's "stand-down" started, so he will only have to go into work on duty days. That means shopping for me the next couple of days. My in-laws are coming in shortly, so I don't have too long. I got the Christmas tree up today (constructed and "ribboned"), we just need to put on the ornaments.
On the child front, I started weaning Clara this week. This is long process for me, but it has begun. It is turning out to be a bit of a challenge because she does not like bottles. And she does not like formula. And she does not like fluid below a certain temperature. Are you seeing where I'm going with this? I've finally gotten her to take a bottle with a 1:2 formula:breast milk blend. Poor baby. First mommy makes her sleep in her own crib (yes folks... she's in her own room) and now no mommy milk? What is this world coming to? She's been a little cranky the last few days, but I think she's getting used to the new way of the world.
You should have seen me at the mailbox this afternoon! I have been stalking our carrier (which is hard being that we aren't on a route yet - our mail delivery has been... random) for the latest perk of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. We got a special gift this year - a stamp set for Christmas! Woo hoo! Free stamps! It's not just any set... it's a set from the Spring 2007 mini. It's called Polka Dots ad Paisley. (Go here for a peek.) I have been severely stamping deprived lately, so this was a wonderfully happy thing.
Well, I need to sleep. In addition to shopping joys I have my yearly physical tomorrow... joy. Nothing like meeting a new doctor and then... well... *sigh* I'll live. Just one of the joys of moving. Have a good night! ~:-)
