September until NOW!

I hadn't gone more than a month without an update since starting this blog, so I guess it's obvious that there has been a lot going on, since it's now been over 3 months. I'm not ready to put everything that has happened in the last couple of months out there, but maybe someday I will be. I will say, though, that we have been busy, the kids are growing too fast, and this year is flying by!
Ellison has been having a great time in school, Sunday school, and dance. We are running around for her more than the rest of the family combined! Right now she is getting ready for her Christmas program at school and her first dance recital! Very busy little lady!!!
Kellen is such a great little guy. He counts, he sings, he talks up a storm, he is just awesome! He has definitely started to move into some "terrible two" behaviors at times though...cannot say I am super excited about that.

I turned 31 last month. Crazy to say that...I still can't even believe I'm out of my 20s, when did time start moving so fast? I am basically working a second full time job right now running my Usborne Books & More business. I promoted to team leader on October 1 and now have a team of over 20 consultants under me. I have sold over $2000 in books each month since starting in June (over $4000 in November) and earned a cruise! I am hoping to earn the cruise for Jay as well this month. I'm really hoping to continue to grow my book business so I can spend more time at home with the kids. So far it's been very successful for me, but I have big plans!
Jay continues to be amazing, taking care of the household duties I can't because of the extra work I've taken on. It will definitely be a relief for both of us when I am able to focus more on Usborne and less on trying to do two jobs full-time.
Here's lots of pictures to catch you up on the last few months...
This is what Ellison looked like on her very first school picture day!
Kellen loves books just as much as big sis does!
Ells learned how to muck stalls and STILL wants a horse!
We went apple picking and made tons of tasty applesauce
We got our pumpkins at the Elegant Farmer
Ellison and I went on a field trip to Swan's!
