Yes, I’m still here!

Wow – it’s almost August – and I haven’t written anything in a really long time. We are all moved into our new house and we’re loving it here! The kids have a great backyard, there are lots of neighborhood kids to play with and it has a nice big kitchen for me. The kids are currently taking swimming lessons at the local highschool and both are really enjoying it. They started out in levels pre-K and 1 and after 2 weeks have advanced all the way up to levels 2 and 3! Another big bit of news is that we have a new puppy – Eli. He is a miniature long-haired dachshund…and the best dog ever. The boys adore him and he has become my little shadow all over the house. Scott isn’t much of a dog person, but Eli keeps loving on him and winning his heart over! It’s great. In other news, I am planning to stop vending at the Portland Saturday Market and start vending at the Fairview Artist’s Market. This market is much closer to our house and is more in line with the type of venue that I’m looking for to sell my products. I’m also hoping to start vending at the Gresham Farmer’s Market next season.
