Update

I have to apologize for the lack of posts lately. Between helping Preston apply for grad schools, Elliott, errands and all the other normal day things, I have also been trying to get my other blog for my book binding, and  other creativities out there. The best way to do that is to try and post at least once a day. Feel free to check that out www.madebymatchgirl.blogpost.com

And like I said, Preston is right smack dab in the middle of applying to grad schools. Today his University of Miami application is due. I know that many of you are hoping and praying that we get into University of Miami and to be honest, I certainly would LOVE that! But we have to be patient (unfortunately) and wait until march/april to see where we were accepted and perhaps more importantly, if we get scholarships!

Other than grad school stuff, we have been working quite a bit with Elliott on his crawling. Showing him how mommy and daddy can crawl. But it never ammounted to anything. UNTIL we had the brilliant idea to sit several feet away from him with a toy that he wants. That did the trick! He started to crawl on his hands and knees and we were oh so proud. However, since then he seems to have decided that crawling like and inch worm so so much easier. It so is not. Sometimes he crawls as if he were an amputee or paralyzed from the waste down. But rarely will he crawl on his hands and knees. We're still working on it.

And as for me, well, I already mentioned what I am up to. But in addition to that, I am planning Elliott's first birthday party! It's gonna be AWESOME! I made the invitations this week and hopefully will get them sent out soon. I am so proud of them! I will have to post some pictures later...because..its time for Church.
