Buying textbooks...
It's hard to believe that just a year ago I was still in school, pregnant and slowly finishing up my last semester. Even harder to believe.... a post I wrote over 2 years ago is still getting comments to this day! I had a bad experiance with one particular e-bayer when buying my textbooks that semester and opted to share it. Funny how one bad experience continues to bring people to my blog with their own story. Because of that, I thought I'd link to that post so anybody looking to buy textbooks sot hey avoid people like this... so here ya go! All about my thebookpros experience. If you're too late.. don't stress. I have yet to talk to someone that has not recieved a refund. However, don't count on getting your textbook as it never arrives. I would however recommend checking out alibris books as I got quite a few of my books there for much cheaper. Some were because they carried softback copies (very difficult to find) but every penny counts!

December 2009
Believe it or not, I just discovered how to do this slideshow thing so finally I can update some pictures... woo-hoo!
Anyhow, here is a rundown of December including; the boy dressed up for the family christmas party, holding the bottle on his own, turning 18 weeks (4 months isn't in there since that was actually his santa picture), discovering his feet, some fun ones of him, and of course his first Christmas! THe Christmas ones include lots of family members and of course the Christmas Eve shots of him sitting on his own. Lastly, had to throw in a picture of him in his cool puffy vest and cargo pants that he wore on Christmas Eve. DH calls it his first snowboarding outfit.

Just a few pics. so far of this month where my little guy turned 20 weeks old on New Years day, and of him playing in his bouncer now that he can sit on his own! Pictures coming soon of him eating... not near as messy as you'd think since he doesn't waste a bite!
November 2009
Pictures of November... including the baby's first thanksgiving and our trip to visit my brother and his family. We also took our family photos that month and I included a few favorites of the boy...
October 2009
Catching up on some pictures... here is some october shots (mainly from the boy's first Halloween), along with some random shots including his 2 month old pictures (where he is indeed balding.. no fear, it has since grown back in a nice pretty dark blonde).

2010, here we come!
As I've always been told, a goal isn't a goal until its written down. With 2010 less than a day away, I figured I should consider our future and what we would like to accomplish (both individually and as a family) for the coming year. Some I have control over, others not so much. However, I'm writing it all down to ensure I have some accountability.
~Move... this is a big one but no control on this. I am however doing everything I can to ensure my work is fully aware of this goal. I would like to be there before the baby's first birthday however our long term goal is to be there no later than December 31st 2011 (exactly 2 years from today).
~Get organized... this also means get rid of crap we don't need. I've begun this process but I need to get more serious about it especially with a move in our future!
~Pay off some debt... I don't know very many people that have no debt, but we'd like to join the few that exist. Thanks to my 4 months of unemployment, we had some set backs but it also changed some habits that we had. We will get things paid off!
~I plan on hopping on the bike this year while hubby is at school. He goes 3 nights a week and with the little one becoming more independent (i.e. playing in his jumper, etc), I think taking 30 minutes to work out would be good for me. Hopefully this also results in losing more weight but we'll see! Right now its more about health.
~Pass the FE. No, I haven't passed it yet. Don't really want to talk about it because of frustration but I'm working hard to pass it.
~Get out and explore as a family. We keep saying we want to see and do new things that we don't ever do but this is the year we will start following through on it. Hopefully moving will help encourage this as well.
I'm sure we'll have more goals as time progresses but for now, it's a start. We're ready to bring on an exciting year! Hope everyone had a great 2009 and an even better 2010!

A month of milestones
Baby's first christmas turned out to be a ton of fun, and he got spoiled rotten by everyone. However, my favorite part of christmas was on the eve of it where the boy decided that at not quite 4-1/2 months old, it was time to sit on his own. Nobody was more surprised than us! Despite him always being quite strong, I wasn't expecting this milestone for at least another month! So far this month, the boy has ate cereal, held himself up when on his belly, started following objects, reaching and grabbing at toys, figured out how to play with some toys, discovered his feet, starting teething and now is sitting on his own. Last month seemed so boring to everything he's accomplishing lately! I can't wait to see what he does next!
