Here are some pictures of our growing Joshua--17 months old. I just loved these pictures because they tell of his fun personality. Just wanted to share!

Got Milk?
Thursday we went on a field trip to a local dairy farm, where we learned all about the goings-on of raising cows, the different types of cows, milking (and lots of it!), and processing and bottling it for us!
We go through A LOT of milk in our household (3 boys, and 1 husband who all LOVE milk), so this was a fun day and a great learning experience for all of us.
We especially enjoyed at the end of our tour a taste testing of their homemade butter, and chocolate milk, even though I didn't take a picture of the results of the chocolate milk around the mouths of my boys. Oh well, I'll have to get better at this.

Publix
I went to Publix today and was very excited with the outcome. I had 12 $2.50 coupons for Electrasol that I wanted to use since they are having a BOGO sale this week. The Electrasol that is normally priced at $3.99 was included in the BOGO sale, which made my dishwasher detergent a money maker. I gave away 2 of them to people I met in the store. So, here's what I got today:
8 Johnson & Johnson First Aid Gauze pads 1.99 (2.00/2 Publix Q, $3.00/2 Manuf.Q)--Free

Up and Running
Well, I finally started one. It takes us a while to catch up in regard to technology, and just as we feel that we have caught up, we realize how far behind we really are.
I think I'll enjoy posting thoughts, convictions, and pictures of our growing brood. Oh yeah, pictures of my incredible deals at Publix too. Which is why I started a blog today because of my trip to Publix today. It was great. And I had a great cashier too, which is why I'll probably go at the same time every week, so that I'll get her.
Anyway, check back often, although with homeschooling, doing the books for our business, keeping up with 3 boys, doing the laundry....
We'll see how often I can do this!
