Hello friends,
Once again, I have been slow to keep up with this blog. It seems there are so many other things that must be done...this blog is sadly abused and forgotten!
So here we are again. It's Memorial Day and time seems to be flying faster than ever. First, let me update you on my travels since my last post...November 2007. Geez!
I finished up a long job the week before Christmas and was very thrilled to get home and decorate for the holiday, bake cookies and wrap presents. For the first time in a long time, I was home for New Year's Eve/Day, which I spent playing games on my friend's new Wii. It was a riot!
In early January, I made a trip to Tulsa to visit one of my favorite return clients. After working with their twins, born in 2005, I was excited to go back for number 3 who was born on the twins' second birthday. This trip marked my 7th time in Tulsa!
I arrived home the night before my 33rd birthday, which I celebrated with family and friends. Then came a much needed 6 week break from traveling! Although I didn't travel, I spent the time working in the office and planning my SIL's baby shower.
I decided it was time to get more organized, so I bought a new 4 drawer filing cabinet and tons of new office supplies. A trip to Office Depot always gets me motivated in the office! I went through stacks of "papers to be filed" and tons of things I have saved and keep meaning to look through. I used my trusty label maker to organize every file within a file. I pitched a ton of stuff and set up a system for going through things so this doesn't happen again! Whew!
Toward the end of February, I hosted my SIL's baby shower with much needed help from my mom. We shopped for and wrapped tons of gifts for our new little baby girl. I made the most fabulous chocolate cupcakes with a cream center. My friend Lori made super cute choc/mint candies in baby shapes. I decided at 9 pm the night before the shower that I would take on building a diaper cake. It took about 3 hours, but turned out so cute! The shower was great and Luke and Leslie received many nice and needed things for Baby Girl.
Look for Part 2 of this email tomorrow! Don't you want to know what happens next?
In the mean time, send your baby and toddler questions!
Best wishes for healthy babies,
Cortney
