Where i've been....

Yeah, i'm finally posting. I actually started a post almost two months ago called, "why I haven't been blogging". As you've gathered, things haven't changed much. Some is my never ending quest to actually have a clean and organized house, but I always need a break from that battle. It used to be blogging only, but there's a new hobby in town. I've started digital scrapbooking, and I LOVE IT. I spend almost all of my free (not working on forementioned request, playing with Ains, cooking, working, sleeping or dealing with other responsibilities) working on it. It's become such a big part of my life, i've started talking to others about it and excitedly sharing when I find a cool new place to download stuff from. Because of that, i'm going to post a list of the cool places to download from along the right sidebar, but i'll also have a post explaining a little about each one. I will periodically update it, but it should always live in October to look at. Anyways, an update on us. We are busy as usual. I have been picking up a few extra days a month at work to offset our mortgage since we lost our renters last month. We are signing a contract today with a new realtor and really hope it sells soon. Brody has been traveling a lot lately for work, and as much as he enjoys it I think he'd like to be home more. My dad & Sandy were here last weekend to play and help with Ains while Brody was out of town, and my mom will be here this afternoon to visit and watch Ains while Brody and I go out of town for the weekend for a couples get away. We are trying to decide between the seafood festival in Tillamook and Astoria - Brody heard the festival was a rather redneck affair - anyone know anything? Ainsleigh is growing up so fast. She LOVES TO TALK AND SING, can't imagine where she got that from. Her vocabulary is huge now, and I can't believe the comprehension she has - especially in what she can say. She's not getting much bigger, but a little taller. We're well on our way to being daytime potty trained. She is pretending a lot more with her toys and is just a joy to be around. She seems to be losing her baby look and starting to look like a little girl. It's such a wierd thing having them grow up - such a mix of emotions of wanting them to experience new things and not wanting them to change. Well, I could actually get on blogger at work the other night, so maybe i'll try to stay updated there. I don't have any pictures to post now, but should soon. I need to see what new ones we have, and do some other stuff. I also need to just video her when she works out with me, seeing her do a jumping jack is hilarious. Hope this finds all doing well. Oh, and I have been keeping up with everyone else's blogs, i'm just too lazy to sign in and leave comments, something I really need to improve. Loves to all! :)
