I am back on, and back to bragging!

It's been wa-a-a-a-ay too long of no posts from me. But I am back. This is my latest accomplishment. No, not Valentina. Her dress and flower in her hair.

It has been a crazy year. New baby on the way due December, Valentina now in second grade, Misha is in pre-school, Eric still at Lego and I am getting ready for #3. We also have a dog now, named Whisper and same old guinea pig named Whiskers. I get their names confused all the time.
My latest craze - couponing - is back on a little smaller scale, though. Eric posts pictures on facebook for people to guess the price of groceries bought in one trip. Sometimes it is really worth it to spend an extra time to print and clip coupons for big savings at store. My most recent visit was about $13 for an almost full cart of groceries, while a guy in front of me spent over $300 for almost the same amount of food. So, call me crazy when I cut and print my coupons, I will not be stopping this hobby any time soon.
Weather-wise, I am really hoping it will cool off soon, so we could go for walks more often. With an added load of my belly, extra heat doesn't help.

Misha just turned 5. We celebrated by going to Universal. It was fun, but way too hot for me.
Their new Harry Potter addition is pretty cool, crowded though, because everyone wants to see it. Misha's favorite ride was Spider-Man, of course.
There's been a lot of new and interesting things, but I won't try to remember all of them, because it is just impossible.
