After a long blogging break, I am back and figured that I should start up again with what’s been going on lately:
1. October was officially named the sick month. It started off with both kids getting the flu, then Matthew and I both ended up with Strep throat. Two weeks after that, all four of us had h1n1. I must say it was no fun and, hopefully, the rest of the winter will be sickness free.
2. We planted grass in the backyard in late September, maybe early October (can’t remember exactly) and it is about 2 inches long now. It is a bit spotty from bad timing, but we will re-seed in the Spring and it should look great… I can’t wait!
3. Cameron has moved up to the 4 year old class in gymnastics and loves it. It is pretty challenging and she is doing great. It is funny to watch because she’s almost a head shorted than all the other kids.
4. Dillon is a videogameaholic. His favorite at the moment is Mario Kart for the Wii. I must say, he has a natural talent for most video games and he beats both Matthew and I often.
5. We finally finished Cameron’s room and I love it! Matthew and I stayed up until 12 last night putting the last pictures on the walls. Amazingly, we work really well together when decorating! I have the eye for where to put things and he’s the perfectionist who gets everything perfectly centered. It’s actually quite fun
6. I am going to the midnight showing of New Moon tonight with my friend Shelley (sorry Mom!) and can’t wait!!!! I must admit that I LOVE the Twilight series!
7. We started recycling about a month ago and it is actually a lot of fun (weird, I know). We were amazed to discover that about 1/2 of our trash each week can be recycled.
8. We went on our annual vacation to Branson the last week of October. It was beautiful and we had great weather for Silver Dollar City. The only negative part was that Cameron was sick most of the trip and I had a really annoying cough… otherwise, it was a blast as usual.
9. Matthew and I have been playing co-ed volleyball this fall. I have never played co-ed before and didn’t realize how much fun it is. I am also very proud of Matthew, he hasn’t ever played volleyball before and is getting pretty good!
10. And last, for Halloween, Dillon was Boba Fett from Star Wars and Cameron was a snow princess.

That’s most of what’s been going on lately and I will be posting regularly again from now on
