Sister's Simplicity and Thankfulness

My little boy and what he has been up to lately. He loves the fireplace hearth.

My sister and I have been making cards for awhile now. We love it. We just got back into the swing because my mother-in-law placed a big order with us. We made 20 Christmas cards for their business and 25 assorted cards. We have had so much fun coming up with new ideas and enjoying our time together. My brother-in-law just made a fan page for us off of facebook since everyone is connected this way. We will offer specials in the near future. I have found though I need to get caught up on my scrapbooking of my children. I recently finished Bailey's book which was a year in the making. No one says you have to have a time limit on scrapping thank goodness. I went for the first time to a scrapbookers convention where you buy stuff. It was overwhelming indeed. I got some pretty good deals though and I did not spend a lot of money. Our cards are in a few shops around the area. On Thanksgiving I will be taking pictures of my kiddos and then I will be off to a great start making my Christmas cards for all to enjoy. It is crazy that Thanksgiving is in 2 days. I wish you all a Happy Turkey day and be thankful for what God has blessed you and your families with this year. I am thankful for my husband who rocks in so many ways, my adored children who are the best thing a mommy could have, healthy family, and family and friends, thankful for an awesome church we attend too. Have a good one!

Back at blogging-Happenings at the Anderson house

Sorry for those who used to read my blog or attempted to. I am back on. We had some computer virus that would not let me get on my blog for some wierd reason. I hope this took care of it.

Hudson is now almost 10 months old. I don't know where time went. Bailey is 3 1/2 yrs. old. Bailey started preschool in September and loves it and her teacher. Bailey can now say the pledge of allegiance which I think is totally cool. She said the pledge this morning at breakfast with placing her hand on her heart but no flag around. I have to remind myself that she is only 3 and not 3 going on 10 yrs old. Bailey dances on Wednesdays now for an hour and loves her pre-dance class. We have seen last years recital DVD just a handful of times :) We will be starting to get ready for the Christmas season soon. She wants it to snow. We have been getting a lot of rain, oh Seattle how I love thee!

Hudson is crawling, standing with support of anything and everything. He loves the bathtub and taking baths. Hudson jabbers a lot and can say, hi, mama, dada. He waves to people and loves to clap when he hears music. Hudson is totally different than Bailey ever was as a baby. He is more curious about everything and puts everything in his mouth. I have had to move a lot of my decorative things aside or away from his reach. He is eating lots these days. He was not big into baby food which is good, because it is expensive. He has been teething for months now, which I hope will soon pass soon. It feels like forever since I had a decent nights sleep, oh mommyhood. I would not trade it for the world though, you other SAHM's know what I mean. I need to get off to bed since he is sleeping right now. I will try and blog at least once a week now as long as things keep working right.
