I know I've been gone for way too long...and there's a good explanation! Back at the beginning of the summer, I took a little part-time job with an old publishing contact doing some data entry for their publicity company at night. It's only around 6-10 hours a week and I only work Monday thru Thursday nights (typically after Juliette is in bed), so it's very manageable, but it has made me not have time to be on the computer much for personal stuff, so I just haven't been blogging. I really do like blogging, though, so I'm going to try to keep up a little better.

Since I've been gone, there have only been a few things to blog about, but I'm having trouble loading all the pictures to the blog, so I'm just going to give a little recap and skip the pictures:

Our mini-vacation to Houston
Back at the beginning of August, we went to Houston for a little mini-vacation. We saw the Braves play the Astros, visited the aquarium, zoo, children's museum, health museum, and toured NASA. We had a fun, busy time and wished we could have stayed longer and done more!

Juliette's 4th birthday
Juliette turned 4 at the end of August and we celebrated multiple times. The day before her birthday we took her to Chuck-E-Cheese's (since Matt had a class the night of her birthday) and then on her birthday we took cupcakes to daycare, got McDonald's for dinner and had a little birthday cake when Matt came home from class. Then, we had a birthday party for her Labor Day weekend at my parents' house.

That's about all that has been going on since I last blogged. Juliette started back to preschool and is doing great with her schedule of preschool in the mornings and daycare in the afternoons. She has a new teacher at preschool (Ms. Coghill from last year retired) and although Ms. Coghill was technically Dr. Coghill, she just had them call her Ms. Coghill. Juliette's new teacher, though, is younger and I guess not as humble about her doctorate, as she has the kids call her Dr. Mary.

Juliette also started dance last week and LOVED it. As soon as I picked her up, she wanted to know when she could come back. All the little girls in her class looked so precious in their little leotards and tights!

Before I go, I want to share a recipe with you guys. I made this last night and ate a piece before it cooled and hardened and didn't think it was that great, but then today, I tried it again and it is really good. So, be patient, let it cool and harden in the fridge over night before eating it! :)
