Catching up!

No, we haven't fallen off the planet... Momma is just SuPeR busy! I am working a full time job and then a small part time job on the side. I am also trying to keep up with my painting business, although it gets pushed to the back burner all too often. Also, we have been so busy with church that I am there almost as much as home. That being said - I am SOOOOO happy and blessed right now, and can only imagine it getting better when Dave graduates and starts his career in a field that he loves.

Speaking of - Dave just finished his second clinical rotation and is back in the classroom/lab for the next 3-4wks until Christmas break. He is still doing exceptionally well grade-wise, maintaining his 4.0 GPA. And he seems happier than he has been in a long time :).

Cadence is my little artist! She loves singing (always has) and with me singing more and more at church and other places she is right there with me practicing all our songs in the car, shower, and at home. She also LOVES drawing and will find a pen and paper anywhere we go to draw me something or write the letters that she knows. BTW: she is writing about 5 letters so far! I love her to pieces!

Tatum is a normal 2yr old... following Big Sister around everywhere, trying to Pee-Pee in the potty, wanting to do everything herself, and asking "Why" about EvErYtHiNg!!!! She is not really getting any taller, but she seems to be slimming up some. Her vocabulary is unbelievable - and she is able to remember prayers, songs, sayings... just all kinds of stuff. Tatum still likes school, and asks about her friends when we are at home.

As for me, I am doing pretty well.... I have lost 30lbs since September and am feeling a lot better. I still have 30 more pounds to lose, but I feel like I have a really good grasp on it right now. I am now the Treasurer of our Sunday school class, and I am singing solos and specials with a few of our VERY close church members (actually my bestie's family). We are having a "Concert/Special Singing" at a local Rescue Mission at the first of December. I really do have things to do at/for/or with our church all of the time and I must say - I LOVE IT! I could not think of anything better to do with my time or energy than to spend it with my church family.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and anyone who knows me knows that that means - BlAcK fRiDaY sHoPpInG is almost here! I can't wait for both of these things this year (as every year). I'm also excited about the girls helping me with the Christmas tree this year.

That's all I have for now. Love you all. ♥
