God is good. All the time.

 

 

But it's moments like this one where I really, really know it in every fiber of my being.

 

So, the website I've been working on since late October finally went live around 2 am last Thursday, and after sleeping for about 3 days, I think I am recovered.

The client has told me that my billing needs to be a little lower for the next few weeks, which to say the least is not a problem for me.

We'll be catching up on lots of much needed playdates and some mommy maintenance, as well as perhaps a little friddle.net website maintenance as well.

If you want to check out the customer site, by the way, you can do so at http://www.blockbusterexpress.com. 

I am so grateful to have had the work - financially it couldn't have come at a better time - but it really is nice to slow down just a little.

To catch up a smidge, here are a few things I've wanted to show everyone that have been lingering too long.

 

 

 

 

For example, here's a little peek at Samantha's pre-school.  This picture was taken when I dropped her off on the first day.  That was about the last time they let me carry her there.  As her teacher explains, "She won't ever walk if you don't make her."  It seems she's right.  Samantha's walking has gotten a lot more confident in the last several weeks.

We are also working with her physical therapist to find the right walker device so she can get around independently, without have to depend on an adult to walk her.  I think this will be a huge boon for her.  She'll be able to exert some natural independence and also get practice walking when there's no one to help.

 

 

 

 

 

 

She's really sweet when she's ready for school with her little backpack (she carries her stuffed moose in it).  The backpack itself is pretty cuddly - a sheep, brought from Grandma and Grandpa from New Zealand.  Ally has one with a kiwi on it that's equally adorable.
