Flip Ultra Camcorder 2nd Generation, 120 Minutes (Pink)

This is really neat small camcorder with flash drive you can plug directly into computer to transfer to dvd or save online for viewing. It looks easy and I have several friends who love them. I need something easy!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a fun wekend with Nannie and Granddaddy here for a visit. They took Frank to the zoo where he had a blast with the animals. We also had lunch Sunday with Mama-ma and Pappy in Orangeburg.

Couponing...

I am looking forward to a workshop this Saturday on couponing and saving money. It is being given by Jenny at Southern Savers which is a great blog and website about Moms saving money. We need all the help we can get! Nannie and Granddaddy will be here to keep Frank IV since Daddy will be working at the store Satuday. That way we have a "frank sitter" and I can go hopefully get some great tips to help with what we use.

Business Update

Things have been picking up with Alphabet Soup and Cahoon's Closet. Frank has been working very hard to bring in new customers and new ideas. We have done some great t-shirts and lots of nice things for graduation gifts. We are still in the same location on Forest Drive and adding new stock all the time.

It is definitely hard working, being parents and business owners. Some days there are not enough hours to get everthing done. We are keeping up with things - just do not expect a "spotless" house if you come to visit. Frank IV managed to use chalk on the den furniture which we are still trying to figure out the best way to clean up along with all the chalk pieces on the floor! And now all he wants is play dough. Being two sure is fun!

Happy Belated Mother's Day

We had a relaxing day of church and home yesterday. We hope everyone had a good day as well.

Happy Easter 2009

We all had a great time at May Day 2009. Nana, Mama-ma, and Pap all came to see Frank perform. Frank's class did a great job on Ba Ba Ba Black Sheep.
