Plugging Along...

It's been awhile since I last posted and there is a good reason for it, believe it or not. I've been creating a website and getting started as a freelance writer. The website isn't ready yet and I haven't earned much (only $20 so far--just ghostwriting some web content) but I've discovered what I need to do and some resources that I think will allow me to use my English education and writing skills to earn some extra income from home. The website will be ready soon and I'll post a link here when its ready for public viewing.

Here are some photos of what we've been up to lately.

We did get a puppy. Radley is her name and she is super cute (except of course when she pees in the house--which is why she stays outside most of the day, and when she thinks Thaddeus is a littermate and mauls him lovingly yet a bit roughly) As you can see by the photo, Abe likes dogs much more than cats. Maybe because the dog was his idea?

We finally cut Thaddeus's hair for the first time. He thought it was pretty fun, which is more than I can say for the rest of my boys when haircut time comes along.

We've had some exchange students from Sillistani come stay at our house recently as you can see in the 3rd picture.

And Kensi is a great little baker. Look at those doughnuts which she made completely on her own! I helped her dip some in glaze because it needed to be done quickly but that is it. Too bad they are totally unhealthy. At least at home we could make sure we didn't use hydrogenated oil and at least they were cheaper to make than buy. They were a hit for FHE treat this week, to say the least.
