Should I be putting the date here?

I am not sure if I need to put the date or if the date is posted.  I guess I will find out when I post this one.

Today we stayed home all day. My mom is here for 2 nights which is exciting!!!   I tried a new chicken taco recipe that was really yummy. 

Not much to write about today, but I wanted to document a few "Andreisms."
Lasterday- Any day in the past. He will start a sentance with, "Lasterday we went to the aquarium."  It may have been a week ago or a month, nonetheless it was "Lasterday."
Golf Suit- Golf bag with clubs in it
Flushie- frozen beverage from Sonic also known as a Slushie
Fanks-Thank you

My brainis not working well tonight.  There will be more later!  Goodnight!

Time to Start a Blog

Today is August 21, 2011 and there is no better time than now to start my blog. I have been wanting to start one, but kept thinking that I should have started on this day or this day, well today it is!

Here is a quick overview of my life at the moment. 
-We are a family of 4 at this moment in time.  AndrĂ© is going to be 4 next month and Ashton is 6 months. 
-Marc and I will celebrate our 5th anniversary in just 2 short weeks.
-We live in Abbeville in our house that has been on the market for 15 months now.  We are wanting to move to Lafayette when our house sells.
-My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in July and is going through radiation right now.  She is about to start her 2nd week of 8.
-My dad is about to retire, well sometime this year.  He will be 60 next week.
-We are going on a family vacation to Disney World in October and it will be the first time that I go back in 8 years.  THAT IS CRAZY!  I think about my time there on a daily basis.  It was definitely one of the best experiences that I ever did.
-I am a stay at home mom who has a little sewing business.  I have big plans for my little business.

I used to keep a daily journal and then I had kids.  I wish I had not taken this long of a break, but I am glad to start up again now in the form of this blog. 

Today, we went to mass as a family at 9:30 in Abbeville and my boys were very well behaved.  We then got plate lunches at Robie's came home and ate those then the boys and I were off to run the roads.  I am in the process of making Andre his big boy room so I needed to go get some things like new sheets, a bed skirt and curtains.  I had bought his bedding from Pottery Barn last year and planned to save it until we moved.  Well, we are still in Abbeville and have another baby who is 6 months old and needed the crib, so we had to make some changes.  I am really enjoying decorating Andre's room and can't wait until we move and I can decorate Ashton's.  I asked AndrĂ© how he liked his new room and his reply was, "It is wonderful."  For now, Ashton is in our room in the crib and he is so happy that he can stretch out.  He filled up the cradle to say the least.  We also went to visit Maman and Pawpaw who are doing very well for their age.  I am very blessed that I still have them and Andre is getting to know his great grandparents.  They love my boys so much.  We are now back home, Ashton has been sleeping since 7 and Andre woke up from his nap at 7.  They are on different schedules to say the least.  I am looking forward to my mom coming to spend the next 2 nights with us.  We love when she comes to Abbeville.  That is all for today!  It feels good to be writing my life down again :)
