Where have we been?? Well…

It started with the Twilight series.  Of course I couldn’t put it down! I read the four books, plus Midnight Sun in about 2 1/2 weeks – don’t ask me where I found the time with a little Abby to love all day; I basically didn’t sleep   Conclusion: I love Edward! Speaking of Twilight, we watched the movie Friday night (Joe bought me a Twilight shirt too, hehe).  The review this lady wrote is right on: I agree with all the good and bad things she mentioned.  I would only add that I loved Emmett!  “How do we even know she likes Italian food?” Emmett: “HER NAME IS BELLA!”  LOL!  There was a part that everyone was laughing, then right when the laughter was dying down, Abby yelled “HAH HA!”  Everyone turned around and was like “Oh she’s so cute!” (yes Abby came with us – she won’t take a bottle, just her mommy).

Gramma Sam came to visit over Halloween for about a week (she had just started reading Twilight while I was finishing the series – she was like, “Don’t tell me, don’t tell me!” Haha!).  Abby was in her cute lil Bee Happy costume, adorable!

Abby went on her first camping and fishing trip before it got too cold last month.  Even though it was pretty cold at night, we snuggled her in like 10 blankets and she was fine.  She went on the lil fishing boat with us.  I kept her covered with a blanket the whole time and put sun screen on her twice – but right under her eyes (where I didn’t put sun screen cuz it was too close to her eyes) she got burned!  I felt so horrible.  The doctor was like, “Next time use sun screen.”  Friggin idiot!  Of course I used sun screen!  I cried when the doctor told me that anyway.

We’ve all been sick – here in perfect weather Arizona!  First Daddy got a cold, then Abby got it, then Mommy.  It was hanging around with Abby for a while so she got some antibiotics.  While Abby was still taking her Amoxicillin, Mommy got sick again with Pharyngitis.  I got some antibiotics pronto, but unfortunately, the day Abby was done with her meds, she got sick again with what I had anyway!  I feel terrible!  I gave her two colds within her first two months.  Now this is her fifth cold in six months!  Poor baby probably just thinks that half of her life she’s supossed to feel like she can’t breathe.

I am very excited for my new calling as the Assistant Secretary in the Relief Society Presidency.  Now I just have to remember names and faces of everyone, which I am horrible at!  So that’s a little scary

AND I’ve taken on more with our business.  I always do customer service emails, HR paperwork, and payroll; now we’ve moved shipping to our house, just to make sure I go completely nuts!  Not only that, but sales have exploded since we put up the Blackberry Storm pre-order.  We’re getting about 20 times as many sales as usual, which is good!  But now my house is covered in spray bottles and squeegees and envelopes; dishes are covering the kitchen; I have no clean laundry; and Abby’s been left at the babysitter named the Jungle-Jumparoo all day!  SO I decided that there must be someone in the ward that could work from my house, and it turns my job offer was an answer to her prayers!!  (and she has been an answer to mine).  She has also come at the nick of time: before all this came up, I had agreed to watch the kids of a family in the stake.  We were waiting for the dad to get a second job, and he starts Dec 8th.  So as of next Monday I will have 2 little boys joining my household during the day!

We’ll be home for Christmas!!  We are going to Utah for Christmas (Dec 19th-28th) and we are so so so excited!!  Excited that Abby gets to play in the snow!  Excited that Abby gets to see Papa Santy!  Excited for Abby to meet all the family and friends she hasn’t met before, and see the ones she hasn’t seen in a while!  And of course we’re excited to see everyone again!

Baby Mania continues with two of Joe’s uncles, Chris and Glenn having baby’s…well they’re not doing all the work of course, their ladies’ are.  Here’s a pic at Chris’s wife Brooke’s baby shower for little Sawyer due this week!  From the left: Julia -Glenn’s fiance-due around Christmas, Anne-Brooke’s mom, Serena – Joe’s aunt, and Brooke holding Abby.  Let’s see, there’s also my lil sister Danielle due the beginning of January, my cousin Kaylee’s due soon thereafter, Joe’s Aunt Melanie is pregnant with her 7th, babies everywhere it’s great!
