It’s that time again…  luckily it falls on a weekend where we didn’t have much going on church-wise. I’ve been trying to keep on top of all the payments, budgeting, and finding ways to make things stretch. So far so good, and I must say that Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover has made a big difference. There’s still a long way to go, but at least now we have a plan and are spending with a purpose. And the nice tax return that’s coming has already been spent… Now all I need to do is figure out a way to spend my share of the upcoming Mega Millions jackpot.  :-)

Made our big Sam’s Club run for the bulk items and Sarah got the menu together. This month is gonna be a little tight cause we’re visiting Benji & Liz for the first time since Christmas. Really looking forward to seeing little Eli and actually getting to hold him this time (I was sick this past winter when he was a newborn)!

Got some yummy recipes picked out for the coming week(s) — one I’m really looking forward to is the Goat Cheese & Grilled Corn Quesadillas that Sarah found in her Cooking Light magazine… my mouth is watering already!

Sarah and I are going to start videotaping Ethan again… she’s been reading a great book designed for parents of gifted kids, and we’re thinking that since Ethan’s already well on his way, maybe we should start documenting some of the things he’s doing now so that if we have the opportunity to get him enrolled in a gifted school or program, we’ll already have the ammunition/proof. Look for videos coming soon… I’m gonna try to figure out how to get them in this little side-bar over here to the right. If not, you can always go on YouTube and do a search on “rezerfam“.
