Cy is sleeping, so I should be cleaning the house or reading a birth book, or writing up a assignment. Writing in my blog is part of my business too though right? At least in this day and age it is.

I'm so giddy to use all the neat tricks I'm learning or have learned. I need clients though! A couple of weeks ago I gave out maybe ten business  cards to different people while out and about, and made friends with one of my son's friends that is about to start trying for another baby.  Getting your name out there can be a slow thing if you aren't able to dedicate tons of time to it.

This week has been pretty much about getting ready for Karl's birthday party. He turned 30 last week. It seems like a celebration is in order. We finished the garden this week. We put in extra beans and peas this year. Hopefully we have crop enough to put up for fall and winter. Our space is so limited, because of the trees in our backyard. It's a love, hate relationship with those things. I'm also not completely convinced that two of them are technically trees. They seem to be some sort of choke cherry. They also continue to try to make limbs on the lower part of the trunk, which I'm almost certain trees don't do. Karl is pretty allergic to the flowers it produces too. They are finishing falling off this week, so he's hoping he'll be off allergy meds and have his voice back by this weekend. Next year we are considering local raw honey for both he and Gabe.

Gabe's school year ends tomorrow. I will be so glad to have him move on. His teacher wasn't terrible, but her communication was pretty bad at times. Oh! He hit the ball at his baseball game last week. It was his first hit ever! We are just so proud of him for trying so hard this year, and improving.
