Working Hard!!!

I feel very remiss in not keeping this blog at least semi-updated!!  So much seems to change so quickly and it's hard to keep up with it all!!  Emma started a new school this year and is doing so awesome!!  I was a bit worried at the beginning of the year that we might have a repeat of our horrible horrible experience last year, but so far this school year her teacher seems to be a caring, loving individual and is enjoying learning music and spanish!  Austin (now 3 holy cow!!)  is completely potty trained, no accidents, no night time problems, just simply potty trained.  He has definitely hit terrible threes, getting into everything, not listening and talking back at will, but he is cute and fun and we have good times! :)  Jack Jack is doing awesome as always!  He is quite handy and very much the baby, into much and wanting to be held a little.  While Emma is at school we have good times playing and doing stuff about town.  It all seems so simple and all, but mixed in with three kids is housekeeping, grocery shopping, and finding the best deals on everything we need as well as all the things that pop up over time!  While Eddie is at work learning new projects and working on getting better promotions, we are here trying to save all the money we can!  We have started (thanks to the Smith's :) ) Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.  We are truly enjoying seeing why we never had any money and knowing with a little change here and there, we won't always be broke or living paycheck to paycheck.  It works for now because that is all we've ever known, but we are getting really pumped at ways to make and save money!  So with all this change, I'm hoping to come back here at least once a week to write down and share everything that has changed in the last week and all we've accomplished!!  I hope everyone has an awesome first week of September!!!
