So a lot has happened since last November!


Has it really been that long since I've posted an entry? Woweee!


I feel like I should start all over, give my blog a sort of face-lift if you will, but that will have to wait.


Here's a little of what we've been up to around here.


1) First and foremost we welcomed our baby girl, Ella Mae, into our family on April 21st, 2010. What a blessing and pure joy she has been to our lives.


2) Lawrence is now almost 20 months old. Oh the stories I could bore you with! He's a genius {I'm not just saying that 'cause I'm his Mommy and obligated to}.

3) Our life has been pretty speed bump free over the past year. We are truly blessed and living the good life that God is providing for us.

4) Right now they are redoing our road and it is a Mess. They are doing a complete tear out. Lawrence is loving all of the dirt movers right outside our front door. The other morning he didn't even want to eat breakfast. He just kept pointing at the door and saying, "See, see, truck, truck." Oh, he knows what makes the noise, "beep, beep", you cannot fool his little toddler brain!!

5) Our garden has been quite fruitful this year, thanks to all of the hubs hard work. We've been able to can tomatoes and green beans, as well as freeze corn and eggplant. We've been using the green peppers and jalepenos as fast as we get them. Also, there is cabbage ready and onions. I'm hoping to make some pepper jelly, apple butter, and applesace as the harvest season progresses.

6) Mr. Frugal {i.e. the hubs and baby daddy} has been given the chance to teach at a local technical college near our house and what a blessing this is! We are able to save, save, save into a savings account. We sure will be able to afford that bigger house we've been dreaming of sooner rather than later!

Here's to welcoming you back and to great deals in the future!!
