Shaef just barely got his first tooth - and now he is walking!! :) Aparently on my side of the family - we did the same thing. He is still a little unsure of himself, but he decides where he is going to go and goes for it! It has been so fun to watch and so fun to have him be excited to walk to me! Sorry the video isn't too great - but we caught some good steady steps! :)

The perfect solution for a busy mom! :)
I have posted many times about how hard it is some days being a working mom. I have found an amazing solution, Pocket Full of Posies. I stumbled on this site one day and was amazed at how brilliant the idea was! It would be so nice to have all of your recipes organized by week and the grocery lists already made up! Plus it would be very helpful in getting your food storage! They also have awesome organizing ideas and other fun stuff! Anyway - check out this site - it has given me hope that organization really can save you time!

Honest Scrap
I've been awarded the honest scrap award by my sister. (And my brother who never blogs followed through with his award so I better do it too!) You are supposed to tell 10 honest things about yourself and then award 4 others with the award. (I'm sorry, I finally post and it is not so exciting.)
1. Every time I sit down to read a book, I fall asleep! I love reading - but I am so exhausted all the time that the second I relax I am done for.
2. I love shoes - and will sacrifice the chance of sore feet to have adorable shoes!
3. One of my favorite time wasters is to look at blogs - and link from blog to blog to blog and see everyone's wonderful ideas and skills! I mostly just dream about having skills like that.
4. I have seen "Sweet Home Alabama" at least 50 times and I cried in "Confessions of a Shopaholic".
5. I love playing hide and go seek with Shaefer - he is starting to crawl away (laughing) when he finds me!
6. I LOVE LOVE LOVE French Fries! We do healthy challenges every month at my school and this month is only eat healthy fats - so I have opted out already because French Fries are not on the menu.
7. I have the Saved By the Bell seasons 1-5 on DVD, and I even watch the episodes on TV at 6:00 and 6:30 am while I am getting ready.
8. When I am sitting down, my legs always hurt if they are touching the ground - so I sit on them or curl them up with me in my chair. I used to get in trouble at the dinner table for having my legs up - but now I am the parent! :)
9. I remember claiming, at different points in my life, that I would never wear capris (short pants?) or skinny jeans (the ones that make you look like an ice cream cone!) and I now own both!
10. I am terrified of going off to Law School next year because EVERYTHING will CHANGE. Some things will be really great - but it is going to take some HUGE adjusting! Totally different state, totally different culture, totally different lifestyle (full time working mom to full time stay at home mom - which will be great, just different), totally different financial situation, etc. Slowly but surely I am going to grasp it and be excited for the adventure!

Dear Tenley...
I think you are such a beautiful person! I am so impressed with your ability to be so positive about life, even when you have gone through so much! I am also impressed with your ability to look at the good in everyone, no matter how they treat you. I think Jake made a horrible decision and I truely believe that he will regret it the rest of his life! I wish you all the best and hope that you find someone who deserves you and will put everything into making you happy - because that is what you do to everyone else! (I wish you were on Dancing With the Stars instead of Jake so that I could watch you dance some more!) I agree with Chris - you are the sweetest person they have ever had on the show!!
Dear Jake...
You made the wrong choice...
P.S. I hope you don't win Dancing With the Stars because I don't want to see Vienna every week anymore!
