So I'm sitting here typing the first post to this brand new blog! Hope everyone in the family can find their way here!
First I want to say that all the blog decorations were done by me, using my very talented designer friend Tiffany's scrap kit Hop Right To It. She even helped me out when the background wasn't working for me by logging into my account and fixing it. I just adore her! If you're interested in checking out her stuff, you can find all the links to her stores (she has 3!) at http://inspiredbydominicdesigns.blogspot.com.
Tonight Isaac thoroughly entertained us at dinner with his antics. There were several times I wanted to grab the camera and shoot some video, but I haven't felt terribly good lately so I didn't want to get up and interrupt my dinner. Right now I'm fighting a small headache I've had all day, along with a little sore throat, and a horribly swollen gum from a molar that is working it's way through. It's awful! I just really hope I'm not getting sick this close to Christmas. I'm really excited, because this year is the first year that Isaac knows what's going on and actually has an interest in opening all those presents...and I hear there will be quite a few! We didn't get him a whole lot this year - we're still trying to get back up on our feet from this summer, when we got hit with a couple of awful electricity bills. We did get him a set of Play-Doh - 6 cans, plus a set of tools that come with two extra cans. He should have a lot of fun with it, IF he can keep it out of his mouth! We also got him a small pack of Color Wonder markers and paper - if he enjoys it, we may try to get him some more. On our personal Christmas Eve, he'll be opening a box with a set of dinosaurs, and his stocking has 4 pairs of Cars socks, a Cars wallet, and a lizard that he thought he HAD to have at the store. We snuck it away - he didn't even miss it! What a surprise when he gets it back next week! LOL! We still have to pick up a couple more gifts and then we'll be all done and ready.
After dinner Heath and Isaac sat down and played a little Rock Band. Isaac was actually playing the correct notes by color AND on the beat. That's my boy! He'll be an expert at video games by the time he's 5...which will actually probably be a bad thing lol.
Heath is off tomorrow and aside from making a run to the grocery store to get cat food, dog food, and probably pick up items to last us until our next grocery trip on Monday night, we don't have any plans. Maybe if it's not too chilly Heath will agree to take a walk around the mall or out to take some Christmas photos. As if I don't have enough scrapping to catch up on already! I need to do some heavy designing work this weekend also. Hopefully Heath will clean up the house a little this weekend and help with the laundry so I can get some work done.
We'll be getting to bed now - Heath is passed out cold on the couch already (still trying to get used to waking up at 5 and 7 AM!) and I think I'll try to sleep off this headache. Back tomorrow with the day's activities and hopefully new pictures to post!

Heath is 23 years old. He works at Love's as an AA. In his spare time, he loves to play video games. His favorites are Final Fantasy, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and basically any RPG game. He likes relaxing after work by watching movies also. He loves music and anything computer or technology related.
Leticia is 22 years old, and currently a SAHM, growing her designing business, creating digital scrapbooking kits for sale and taking care of the home and Isaac. In her spare time, she likes to digital scrapbook, and dabbles a little in jewelry-making. She loves the Twilight series, and has currently seen both movies and read all 4 books in the series.
Isaac is 3 years old, and of course stays home with mom during the day. He's like Dad in every way - loves video games (Spyro and Critter Crunch are his favorites), and also likes to watch cartoons (Spongebob, Scooby-Doo, Go Diego Go, Wow Wow Wubbzy and Ni-Hao Kai Lan are among his favorites). Most of the time, you can find him running around the house in nothing but his underwear.
Calico is a 4-5 year old female cat, exact breed unknown. She looks like a Calico breed, so she was named aptly. She mostly lays around being lazy during the day, taking care of her kittens.
Shiloh is a 1-year-old Retriever mix. He's still in his puppy stages so of course, his main concern during the day is chewing stuff up and causing trouble. He's a pretty sweet dog, but a definite handful.
Sassy is a 6 month old unknown breed kitten. She's very sweet, but very energetic. She loves to cuddle in every nook and cranny of your body she can find, loves sleeping on velvet pillows, thinks she's a queen, and climbs on curtains and bookcases.
Recently we added another 5 additions to our family - yes, 5. They are 5 beautiful mixed-breed kittens, born around December 8th, 2009. They are adorable and sweet, but rest assured, every one of them will be given to a good home - not staying here!
