So many things...

Here are some pictures from our trip to San Antonio.

We're debt freeeeeee!!!!

Ben and I made our last credit card payment last night. Do you know what this means?? It means that next month we will only be making monthly payments for rent, utilities, and daycare. Reality has started to sink in and I am really excited. (I wasn't feeling so hot when I put all of our account info in for the payment.) If we hadn't heard about this financial person, I don't think we would have been able to do it. If you're having issues with money then I strongly suggest that you check it out. It is simple, makes sense, and it works.

On Saturday I am going out of town to scrapbook. Every month I get a SB kit that comes with all of the papers and embellishments to make a complete album. The lady that puts the kits together has a sister that owns a SB store. I am going out there to buy some goodies, meet the ladies that I talk to on the message board, and get some of these kits put together with pictures. I am really excited. It's been a while since I've been to a scrapbook store, let alone a crop.

I am in the process of coordinating the kids' summer vacation schedule. The two big girls go to Girl Scout camps for a week, stay at their Grammie's house in OK for a couple of weeks, and their Aunt's house for a weekend of fun. Haley will be staying overnight at an Aunt's house to play with her cousin. It's her first year to do anything overnight without sisters, so I am nervous about how she will do. Haley and her cousin are too young to stay over the weekend with their Aunt, so this way they get to have a little fun too.

Alexander is doing so many things! He's nine months old now. He has 3 bottom teeth, two top teeth with two more cutting in right now. He can sit, crawl, and pull himself up to standing. He is a speed racer when he's in the walker!! Watch out for your heels and toes when he's loose. :) I try to get updated pictures but most of them come out with his giant arm reaching for the camera. I love, love, love this age. He is so sweet, it's amazing to see his reaction to the smallest discovery. He's a happy, smiling, healthy boy. I couldn't have asked for more.

I hope to see you or at least talk to you all soon. I miss being close to my friends.
