ARGH - I know, it's been awhile!

OK, so things have been super busy and I know I need to blog more often, but it's been so busy! So if any of you still read this, I'll write a quick update :)

We are doing well! Landon is growing up SOOOOO quickly!!! I just fall in love with him more and more each day! He is truly such a blessing and I am so thankful that God blessed us with this amazing little boy. His first tooth came in on Monday and his second one came in yesterday. So he isn't a very happy camper right now, cutting two teeth. But he has been doing pretty well! He is still an amazing sleeper and I am a very lucky mama!! He sleeps from like 8:30 at night until 7:45ish the next morning - it's awesome. And he usually takes a 2 hour morning and afternoon nap. I know it won't always be this great, but I'm pretty fortunate for the time-being.

This summer has gone well! Landon keeps me busy. I am also now a Southern Living consultant and I love it! I haven't had many parties yet, but that is my choice. I want to do this part-time only, so it's nice that I can do it as much or as little as I like. I really enjoy it! I LOVE their products and I've loved getting out of the house on occasion and getting to meet new people!

We are leaving next Friday to go to the lakehouse in MA. We are really looking forward to seeing family and also enjoying a bit of a relaxing vacation. Hopefully Landon will do well! He didn't do well on our last road trip to NY, but hopefully this one will go a little better.

Here is a little slideshow of some recent pics:



Well, I need to go - Landon is waking up from his nap and he's been pretty fussy all day, so I need to go give him some lovin' :)

I've been tagged

I've been tagged by Ginny, so here goes...I'm supposed to give 8 random facts about myself, right? Well, let's see if I can even think of eight...here goes:

1) I HATED chocolate when I was a child - my mom would make a separate bowl of chocolate chip cookies just for me...they didn't have chocolate chips in them, so I guess they wouldn't be called chocolate chip cookies, would they?

2) I have a big gap between my big toe and the next toe (whatever it's called).

3) I used to get in trouble all the time when I was younger for making prank calls...but then again, that carried on over to college because we did it all the time :)

4) I dated two guys at the same time...AGH!!! But it was only for like a day or two...this is starting to turn into a confessional!

5) I refuse to walk over the grated things on sidewalks and roads...manholes or vents or whatever. I'm scared that one day I will fall in. Jason makes fun of me all the time.

6) When they would give the weather report and mention "wind chill" - I ALWAYS thought they said "windshield" - not really funny, except that it wasn't too long ago that I figured out that they were really saying WIND CHILL...oops!!

7) I get made fun of because I never say that "g" on words that end in -ing or -ang or -ong or any -ng's :)

8) I can't believe I made it this far...they are all pretty random things though...hmmm, an eighth? I was born in the same hospital as my high school history teacher, Mr. Randy Stone - my teacher at High Point in Geigertown, PA. And that hospital was in Cortland, NY.

Phew...I was able to think of 8 things. I now tag Jennifer M., Kelli, and anyone else who reads this :)
