Long Time No Blog

Hello everyone! I have returned from my five day blogging hiatus. My mom, dad, youngest brothers, and little sister have been here since Thursday morning and not only has there been no time for blogging, but I've had a hard time getting any computer time with everyone here. My brother is a computer whiz and he and the esposo have been trying to work out the bugs with our video capture card. We've now got it to show up on the computer and record, but it has no sound. So, maybe they can get that bug worked out today. The video capture card will let us get the stuff on our DVR recorded onto DVD. That way we can save all of the Disney's Little Einsteins and JT can watch them when we travel in the car at Christmastime.

We've had tons of fun while the fam has been here. We went to Disneyland on Thursday and Friday and The Boy did great both days. I let him take his morning nap both days and then we headed over to the park and stayed there way past his bedtime, but he had a blast, so what can you do? I enjoyed having the family here when we went to Disneyland because it meant that I got to go on some rides that I haven't been on since he was born. I went on The Hollywood Tower of Terror, Grizzly Run, and Splash Mountain, just to name a few. We really got "hosed" on Grizzly Run and it was such a joke because my mom and I spent an hour or so getting ready and that was the first ride we went on when we got to the park on Friday. So, we were looking stylin' the rest of the day.
Today we just took it easy. We went to church and had a family dinner. I made
Fajita Beef Soup and the men have been playing video games all day long. The Boy is back on his nap schedule and life is returning to the same ol', same 'ol. He is going to be a very sad boy tomorrow when he wakes up from his nap and all his friends are gone. The good thing is that we'll be going to see them in about 48 days! Yea! That means that Christmas is going to be here soon! Tomorrow I must clean up the fallout of having 7 people living in a 2 bedroom apartment. However, my mom has helped me to stay on top of it, so I shouldn't have very much to do at all. I also need to get in a good run - I haven't had once since the party started. I am throwing a baby shower with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law this week for my other sister-in-law, so that should make the week exciting. Until I blog again . . .
