Newbie

New to this whole blogging thing, but neighbors Heather and Patty have inspired me to share my world with those who just might care a little bit.

Big news:

1) I've started using recipes and for all who know me, this is a very big deal. Meals have been consistently good for over a week.
2) Cassidy is writing letters of the alphabet. She drew an A, a C, and an S this morning on her chalkboard. Unprompted. Very cool. Who needs preschool?

3) Stuff arrived and the walls are officially decorated. (These walls are new to me, as evidenced by the holes conveniently covered up by some hanging items. Who knew nails could bend like that???) And Damian loves having his chair again. :)
4) We had our first visitor! We welcomed Gabe Doleac to our humble abode last weekend. Such fun for us all.

5) Last, but certainly not least, Damian celebrated the big 33 on Thursday, the 21st. We celebrated by unpacking all the boxes. Fun. Not really. Cassidy and I did make a carrot cake for him--ugliest cake ever, but super tasty!
