Yikes!

I am a horrible blogger, I swear I posted more in September than just twice? Oh well, here is another post. Things are going well here at the Larsens. We have been pretty busy though, like everyone else. The weekend of the 21st we were in Murray for a 60th wedding anniversary program for the Larsen grandparents. Can you believe that, 60 years! Then this last weekend we were at a funeral, for Creed's great aunt who lived to be 100 years old! Creed's relatives really amaze me at the milestones that they reach.

John, my cousin who is living with us, is doing great. His lowest grade in college is an A-, which I think is great, especially for someone with dislexia and who hasn't been to school for three years. He is really enjoying it and is setting some great goals for the future. We love having him here and seeing the progress that he is making. He is a great example to us of making the most of your life and the trials that you have been given.

Creed is also doing great. He is still plugging along at the basement, and I even helped this last week in putting the tub/shower combo in place:) I also helped pound in a few of the electrical boxes. This week we are hoping to make some real progress, but you know how life is, it has a way of sneaking up on you. Creed has also been helping me a lot with my business, which seems to not be doing so well. So I ask you all, if you came across some really nice frames to display your scrapbooking pages, what would you pay for them? I think that that might be my problem, but I am not sure. So this week was spent doing some free advertising on some different sites, so hopefully I sell a frame soon! Oh, and maybe you can all tell your friends about my booth, it is in the Provo Quilted Bear and the name of it is Sweet Yesterday. Right now there are only 12x12 frames there, but I can do 8x8, or whatever size anyone needs, it just might take a while.

The other huge thing that we have been focused on is my ear. Yes my ear. You see it has been hurting for three weeks now, but I thought that it might be due to the fact that I have been having a lot of dentistry work done on that side of my head, but that has been done now for a little bit and my ear still hurts like the dickens (okay so I don't really know how bad the dickens hurt, but my ear hurts a ton!) So I went in and I don't have an infection, my ear just is having a hard time pressurizing. Which means I have to take Sudafed, until my ear stops hurting. I hate paying doctors $25 for them to say, sorry not much I can do for you.

Sarah is doing great as well, she is getting a new tooth-FINALLY! She is a year old at the end of this month and she is just now getting her third tooth, unbelievable. Which leads me to another question I have. What do you moms do for your kids and food? I got so sick of buying baby food I just started blending things that we were eating, some things she likes and others she doesn't. So if anyone has some good ideas we would appreciate them. Also she is now able to stand on her own! Soon she will be walking, or maybe running would be a better way to describe it. She just goes and goes and goes as fast as she can. She really is a cutie though, and I love her tons!

One last question for all of you out there, do any of you do the digital scrapbooking, and if so what program of website do you use? Just curious!

Sounds like life is busy! I think the framing thing for scrapbook pages is great. If I had more wall space (not much in a 700 sq ft apt) I would totally use them! As far as the baby food thing goes, I bought a KidCo Baby Food Grinder that was awesome! I'm planning on using it with all my future babies! Just type it in in google. When my kids got older, we gave them what we had for dinner just "baby version" they loved eating like Mom & Dad!
