Well here I am beginning a blog, what an adventure this might turn out to be!! I never thought of my life in print! Right now Connor is 5 months old and already growing so very fast. I know our adventures with him will be interesting. He has already began to change so drastically. He was a perfect little baby when he was born. His skin was perfect and even his little head was 
perfectly round (C-sections are great for that!!). He has truly been a blessing. He has slept almost through the night since he was 2 months old, except when he got his first cold of course. Every day it seems he does something new. He has recently started putting his mouth on your cheek if you ask for kissses; only when he feels like it mind you! He began eating baby food a week ago or so and loves it. He knows that the word "some" means he needs to open his mouth 'cause I am going to put something yummy in there. He looks like a little bird! Being a stay at home mom is very rewarding most of the time. I remember mom being at home with us girls when we were little and going to the beach on most days then coming home and having root beer in frozen mugs. I think I have some mugs I could freeze!! What a wonderful idea for my kids! I still love the beach and wish we could live closer to it so that my children could grow up loving it the way I do. Something about the way the air smells cleaner there, like salt, makes me feel all warm.
Life has turned into the same old daily grind lately and I think we (Connor and I) need to find a way out of that. Beginning some sort of exercise is going to be essential to being able to keep up with things around here. I have been trying to go on walks with Kyrsten (my 7 year old) on most days. She is a good little motivator, very determined! Also, I am working on following FlyLady (http://www.flylady.com/) in order to help curb some of the chaos in the house. Some days I do well, others....well, others I am still in my sweats and slippers when it is time to get the girls from school. The good thing about that one is that if I need things from the store I can send in Beau, my wonderful teenage son, with a list and a debit card and he gets just what is on the list. No more snap decisions where I feel I NEED candy bars! That won't last for long but he is a wonderful help and an awesome boy, although I should tell him that more!
One more thing I am trying to do is to take pictures and post them on different stock photo websites to maybe earn some extra money. I need to be able to take more and more pictures so I can start a website of my own and start promoting it! Maybe I can start doing that now that I am writing a blog. I think momentum will help there. Once you start doing something and continue with it no matter how you feel it becomes habit. If it can become
habit that I write a blog or take some pictures I will really be going somewhere! I know once it warms up some it will be easier. I don't know what has happened but 29 degrees in Florida is just not right! I seem to be doing fairly well taking the photos if I can just find more places to go for subject matter. I was even thinking of going to the beach during Spring Break (pray for me!!) in order to get some really nice pictures of sunsets, water, seagulls......if all goes well there will be some beautiful scenery.
