Helping Rachel


This cake was for Rachel Fischer's sister's 16th bday. It is not complete in the pic b/c I needed to be somewhere. I did help Rachel as much as I could. MANY hours went into this cake.

Here is the fab new car! Interestingly enough, this is Andy's car. He traded in his beloved '98 Dodge Ram 1500 crewcab shortbed with sport package for a fuel efficient 2009 PT Cruiser. It was time. The truck had a couple fender bender "bruises" many many miles and low gas mileage. Plus, he felt dependability was soon to be an issue.
*we drove the cruiser to muncie = 27.4 mpg.

Apology

Hello. I must first say I am sorry to have been gone so long. Writing down events in my life is therapeutic and I should do it more often.

So, here is the news.

First, my family and I are all doing ok. We have started to attend Cadiz Christian Church again as a family.

Second, we bought a new car. The C.A.R.S. program enabled us to buy a brand new car much cheaper than a comparable used one. We picked a PT Cruiser - inferno crystal red.

Third, we finished the installation of new ceramic tile flooring in the kitchen. I am well on my way to having a wonderful gourmet inspired space.

The boys are growing so fast. Jonathan will be starting the 4th grade next week and Topher will be in 5 morning per week K-4 preschool. I am already planning my workout time!

I have also signed on to be an Usborne Books & More consultant to try to earn extra income. The books are great. Those of you who know me, know that I hoard books. I have shelves, boxes and stacks of them. :) I believe reading is instrumental in the developmental and learning process. So, my boys receive books for almost every special occassion or holiday.

I pledge to try to blog at least once a week but hopefully more often. Thanks for stopping by.
