A break and a comeback

Has it really been 6 months since I last blogged? My how time flies. No in all seriousness though, I was taking a short break to really decide if I wanted to continue blogging or not. Part of me still does not want to blog, but the other part, misses it. So today I will be making a short comeback to test the waters.

Here are a few things going on in the Willoughby household:

~ Josiah is now 8 months old, has 6 teeth (4 on top and 2 on bottom), rolling all over the place (he refuses to crawl).

~I'm still at home full-time. Loving my husband more each day for his sacrifice. I'm still couponing, and getting ever so much better at it.

~Joel is still very much loving his new found sport; golf.

I can't believe how time really does fly. It seems that Josiah was just born a short while ago, and boom here we are 8 months later. I am planning his birthday party already because I don't want to have to spend so much out of pocket all at once. Hence the early planning. I've found a few ideas from shindigz that I think will really make it look western. I'm hoping to also win a giveaway found here to help offset the cost too.

I'll check in later to tell you all the little details. For now, here is a picture of Josiah that we recently had taken.
