About time…
Well about time someone updates this thing. So since Will has done it the last few times I thought it was probably my turn. Normally you have the not much has changed post, but for once I feel like a ton has changed.
First off today we got a new member of the family. I think we have settled on calling her Rocket she's a basset hound somewhere between 1 and 2 years old. So far she seems to really be working out nice for us. But it hasn't even been 24 hours so probably a little early to say. But she hasn't bit Margaret or torn anything up. So that's a pretty good dog in my book. Margaret was running and tripped and fell on her and she barely opened an eye.
Second big thing in our lives is I have started working. Not your average job I will only work a few days out of the month. Which goes great with being a stay at home mom and only having one car. But I am currently training to be a birth assistant with the midwife that helped deliver Margaret. Or I should say I will help assist all the midwifes in the practice. So far I have done two births and am really enjoying it.
Margaret is growing like a weed and learning so much. I guess every parent probably feels like there kid is a genius. But its really amazing hearing her put two and three words together now. She also knows and using a little over 5 signs very well. Margaret is still really into being outdoors, her movies, and of course her new dog. Won't be long and we will already be coming up on her two year birthday.
Will mostly works and plays games 
A few other big things for us are that we are coming up on one year as a one car family. Which means we have had no car payment for a year. Something were both really proud of. Also we have started using cloth diapers and are about to hit the 2 month mark of that. They have already paid for themselves so everything now is just pure profit. Next which just shipped today is our un-paper towels. So all these little changes I am excited to see how they impact our monthly budget. I know just me using the clothesline during the summer dropped our bill $50 dollars a month. We don't have a fancy dryer or anything so I am sure it does suck a lot of energy. I have also started a compost pile for a garden next year and am looking forward to working in it with Margaret.
