Blog Train... Choo Choo

This has been a really crazy week for my house...

Merrick is mobile now (SCARY!). He know weighs about 18 pounds and is 27.5 inches tall. At almost 8 months (2 more days) he's sitting, crawling, pulling himself up, walking with assistance, has 2 teeth with 2 more breaking thru, is eating the Gerber puffy snacks, and he babbles "mum" & "momma" all the time.

DHS FINALLY finished processing my application, so the boys have insurance again. I'll be calling tomorrow to set up check-ups for all 3 of them. Merrick needs some shots & Damek may need 1 more before he can go to Pre-K in the fall. Corgen just needs a check-up cause he's a growing boy and he hasn't been to the doctor in over a year.

Corgen & Damek just got their summer haircuts... Daddy did too. Summer haircut in this house means NO hair! Corgen hasn't had is hair cut or shaved in about 2.5 to 3 years! It's kinda funny because he has a very noticeable tan line where his hair used to part- including around his double-crown.

Corgen graduates from Kindergarten TOMORROW!!! I'm so excited for him. He's grown SOOOO much since starting school. He's made some really good friends and we hope to be able to set up some play dates over the summer to keep in touch (since most of them live closer to the school than we do).

John lost his job a few weeks ago. We've both been out looking, but I swear this is the worst time of the year to be un-employed! All the high school kids started looking for summer jobs last month, so it's slim pickings for us. I have 2 leads to check on tomorrow.

I've been doing some work on my blog for Wonderland Tutus. I started making Tutus a few months ago & love it. I have no girls in need of Tutus, but I'm sure some of you reading this may. I'll be posting more sample pictures in the next few days.
Come visit WONDERLAND TUTUS

I guess the last bit of big news is that John is seriously thinking about joining the Army. He's planning on going by the recruiters office after school today. It's exciting & a bit scary at the same time. I'd love to hear from some army wives about how life is around base & when you have to be apart. He's considering Utilities Equipment Repairer or Infantry as his Army careers, and would like to leave the option open for Officer's School a bit down the road.

Now on to the goodies! :)

I decided to leave my store on sale this week... NOTHING priced over $2.

  7. Very nice designs... my first visit to your blog!

    Good luck with the army thing.. I am a Canadian Army wife and joining the army was the best decision we made - especially in the economy scare we have today.
