We're getting a house!

We have a contract on a craftsman bungalow built in 1920.  It needs a lot of cosmetic work, but it's a really cool house.  If all goes according to plan, we are set to close on Dec. 2nd.

Coupons & Cuties!

Ok, I just got home from the store and I'm kind of excited. I bought about $27 worth of groceries for $5.74 using doubled coupons! Woo hoo!! It's not junk either. I got cereal, pumpkin, lunch meat, frozen veggies, juice, and butterscotch chips (ok, maybe that one is junk). Thanks to Stephanie Hamilton & Beth Johnson for getting me started. I'm just waiting for the day when they have to pay me. It's fun and we can sure use the money cause we may have exciting news soon, but I won't say anything yet cause I don't want to jinks it (not a baby). In other news Eli is getting cuter every day and Derek is cute too, so here are some pics of my booty and my cuties. Fall is here and life is good!

Big Boy

Our Eli is getting to be such a big boy!

He has his first tooth, which, I might add, is not very easy to get a picture of.  You can see it now when he smiles though, so cute.

He can swing in the toddler swing at the park.  He likes it, but holds on tight.

He can even stand up by himself, if he has a table or something to lean on.  He thinks he is so big standing up in his size 2 shoes.

And, his latest accomplishment is picking up cheerios and putting them in his mouth.  He hasn't mastered this skill yet, but most of the time he can get it in there.  He didn't want to eat this particular cheerio, so he just put it in  his mouth for practice and then spit it out.  It landed and stuck on his chin.  You can see his tooth in this photo too.
