I knew it

I knew I wouldn't do too good with this blogging thing. I thought I was going to set aside the time each week to do it, but until I get a real schedule made (which I've been working on for about 5 years) I probably won't write once a week. I'm online wasting time today because enough of my friends bugged me enough so that I finally joined facebook. Because myspace, asunet, alasualum, and every other site i've joined out of peer pressure wasn't enough!! lol no worries. i did find some old friends from Ohio i hadn't found for awhile. but it's still just one more thing for me to put on my to do list.

What's going on here? Dell is out of town for 2 weeks which means we get to eat more pizza!! he finally admitted that he doesn't like it as much as i do! i found out a friend and her husband are from NY and they are perfecting a homemade pizza recipe for REAL NY style pizza. they're going to invite us over when they get it all right. They like pizza so much that the husband wants to put in a brick oven! I can't wait for my invite.

Gabi is on meds for her second double ear infection. Her and josh have had colds for about 2 weeks and my sinuses have been driving me nuts. I finished crocheting my friends baby blanket. It turned out really nice and the lessons I learned from it won't be noticeable to anyone else! I look forward to finding the pattern I'm going to do for the next blanket....and who i'm going to make it for. Perhaps I should finish Joshua's baby blanket--that turned into Gabi's blanket--that is still undone in a bag! It's plain though and I'm not motivated to work on it.

The girls got their report cards and Miracle got straight A's again. And this quarter we did not check any of her homework, so these grades are all her own. We wanted her to understand the importance of checking her work before turning it in. Brianna doesn't get letter grades yet in first grade, but she had a lot more G's and at our conference, her teacher said there has been a lot of improvement, both in her work and her behavior/attitude. So we were very happy about that and praised her a lot for that report.....hoping maybe we could get some improvement here at home.

I think that's all the updates for us for now. love you all!
