Still Alive

I know, I know. It has been quite some time since I last blogged and I am sure the few readers I have are long gone. Life has just been busy, there is much to update about tonight.

Dillon started pre-school, he's been doing so well too might I add. He stayed home yesterday and today since he has been sick since last Wednesday afternoon, but he can finally go back tomorrow since it's been 48 hours since he last had a fever. The school prefers that time frame and we wanted to give him one more day (today) off from school in hopes his cough would be better before going back to school. And it is.

I get great reports from his teacher and I've seen him "in action" at the library during story time one day. It was cute, he had no idea I was there. It was exciting seeing him interact with his classmates and dance to the music story that was told. For Thanksgiving he brought home two crafts that he made. One was an indian headset with feathers and the sort, I took the cutest photo of him wearing it! And he also brought home a wind-sock that he made with a turkey on it that he colored. It has some Thanksgiving color-themed streamers hanging from it also that he glued on.

I love how excited he gets when he sees me sitting on the bench waiting for him after school. He jumps up and down and wants to run to me. He shrieks and when he is finally close enough he runs into my arms and says "hi baby!" It is adorable, it really makes me feel loved!

The baby is growing well, I am just over 26 weeks now. I finally sold my HP laptop and bought a crib and mattress the other night. Which I got quite the deal, I had a 20% off coupon that was used on the crib, so the crib ended up costing about $134 and some change and the mattress was $106 and some change. Not bad at all. We've got a lot for baby Maliya, but there are still some big items left as well as a few more smaller ones. I'm not stressing nearly as much as I was before I finally bought her crib.

We are putting up the Christmas tree tomorrow night, I am so excited! Then this weekend we are hanging the outdoor lights!!! I love decorating for Christmas. I've done some gift shopping and have a lot of it wrapped. I absolutely love buying gifts for those I love and care about, it makes me feel really good.

I will definitely update more often again. I just got so side tracked when Dillon started school and then Thanksgiving was approaching and then we all got sick. Life just catches up so quickly and makes you lose track of things sometimes!
