All Right All Ready

Mmmmm....Cereal bars are good. And full of fiber too! We learned that one the hard way...

Two points! I have a really cute video of him playing with his goal that I'll try to get uploaded later.

Slam Dunk! Kobe, eat your heart out!

Gee, ain't I cute?

So I've been told to update my blog. So here's your update.

Things have been kinda cruddy in this corner of Arkansas. Wal-Mart, oh I'm sorry, Walmart (because it's SOOOO much better without the "-"), laid off 700 people at Corporate and apparently, they aren't done yet. So, our family has been a little on edge considering only one of the three of us is employed....and I don't currently own enough stuff to sell on Ebay to support us all. Unless I want to sell a car, and that would only support us for a few months (and possibly end in murder if I have to carpool with Mikel). We are doing our best to trust in God that He has a plan and will take care of us, even if we have to go without cable TV or a DVR for a while (GASP. I love my DVR!!!) We are taking the appropriate responsible steps as well. I trust God to take care of us, but I believe He would want us to be fiscally responsible in the meantime.

Other than that.... D has been doing good. No major milestones achieved yet (no, he's still not walking yet). He's still cruising and babbling and saying "dog" and "no" a lot. He likes to shake his head "no." Something he learned from mommy of course. His current favorite foods are mandarin oranges, bananas, grapes, cereal bars and yogurt. He basically eats a bunch of sugar. But at least it's fruit. I can occasionally get him to eat Cheerios but I hate it when he throws them on the ground because I will inevitably hear a "crunch" and cringe when I step on one. Those things are boogers to clean up when they are in tiny pieces.

I'm still really active in my mom's group - a great bunch of gals who have become my closest friends. I've even gotten a few of them to start going to the gym with me to run. I'm working on a 10k in the spring and Mikel is training for the OKC marathon. Wish him luck, because, like I've said, that's just crazy.
