O.K., here I go...

So, I guess it's time to get busy and blog away. I kept saying that I would sit down to do this once the Primary Program was over and now that is behind me, thank goodness, so it's time to get busy. My problem is that I'm convinced our little life is pretty ordinary and there isn't much that's extremely exciting to write about. However, exciting or not, this is a great way to keep track of our lives so I've finally given in!
This weekend has been really great - I finally got a chance to go to the Farmer's Market up at Murray Park and it was so fun! Tons of great fruit and veggies - I was in heaven! Seriously, all of the stuff there looked so beautiful! I know it's stupid to rave about produce, but honestly, if you saw the way fruits and vegetables looked in Venezuela (minus the mangos on the trees) you would be raving, too! Anyway, I bought a bunch of peaches and made a peach pie today for the first time - crust and all! Sooooo great! I should have taken a picture! It even looked beautiful! Too bad peach season is so short!
Last night Jer and I went to his work party which was at the Grand America and it was pretty fun! There was a nice dinner, a really great live band and then they had half of the ballroom outfitted with casino tables that we could play at-not with real money of course-but I was loving that! They gave everyone 250 in chips and then you could trade your chips in at the end of the night for tickets to enter in a big drawing they had for pretty cool stuff. We had to bail before the drawing, but let me just say that playing Black Jack with zero pressure is the way to go! It was a fun night!

YAAAAEEEEHHHH!!! You did it. Your 1st REAL post!!! It is so fun to read all the things you guys are doing. I still have a pile of dance clothes in my front room for Kate. I'm being lazy. I haven't mailed them, I keep thinking that I go to the ortho on Oct 7th and I will just give them to your mom then......I know not as fun for Kate, but I can't make myself drive to the post office!!!!! Keep the posts coming!!!! Love and miss you guys!

Angie....Yay!!! I am so excited you started a blog! I was hesitant to start one at first too, but now I love it! It's such a great way to keep up with everyone since I don't always have the time to call or email. Kate is a doll!!! I will check in often to see what is new with you guys :)

YAY--I'm with Denise...your first REAL post!!! How fun!! I'm jealous about the farmer's market--I hardly ever even buy fresh veggies anymore 'cause I'm the only one in my family that'll eat them...it's SOOO sad. =( I DID pick up a squash the other day for me & I can't WAIT to eat it! YUM!!

About you thinking your life is too ordinary...it'll get easier to come up with stuff to post about & pretty soon you'll be HOOKED like the rest of us!! I think it's SO fun to blog 'cause then everything will be kept FOREVER for me to look back on. Think how fun it'll be for Kate's kids to look back & read about what she's like right NOW!

Your blog is SO cute, BTW!! Great job! ;D
