Yes I know, I start blogging and then I stop... it's been awhile since I've posted. And that's because it's been busy... since my last post at the end of August we've endured an inner ear infection, upgraded to a big boy car seat because James was busting out of his infant carrier [even though the weight capacity is 30lbs and he's only 17lbs], and James said his first word -- Papa [how disappointing for me since hubby always complains that James favors me over him].
Football season is among us and aren't we all just jumping for joy! I know hubby is very excited to be sharing this season with James... how excited you say?!?!?!
This much!!!
I have taken up card making- as I've mentioned before. I believe I'm getting better and better at every card, but I struggle to make it my own craft. I have the big book of Martha Stewart Crafts and that woman just annoys me-- she's that good!! I'm looking forward to making our Christmas cards this year, all 30 of them! wish me luck and patience.
I have also taken reading back up. I know, it's a big shame that I have not picked up a book [besides pregnancy/parenting books]- in years! The first book I chose? The Time Traveler's Wife. Being a new mom I don't have much time to watch TV much less go out to see a movie- the commercials for the movie were so interesting to me that I decided to pick up the book. First day of reading it [yesterday] I read 200 pages, I couldn't put it down. Today I only got through 50, but it makes me realize how much I miss just sitting down and reading. It gives me time to collect myself. To use my imagination again. To be still. And to escape into someone else's world. Even if only for a while. I can't wait to tell you all about it once I finish. I hope I get to see the movie someday, probably when it comes out on DVD and I'm able to watch it at home. Meanwhile back to my dog eared page I go...
