Dumping Debt: Exciting Quick update

I know I'm WAY behind on our Dumping Debt Series...I apologize for that. I keep reminding myself to write a post but just can't seem to sit down and get it done. However, I don't want to miss this milestone in our Total Money Makeover (TMM), so I'm writing a quick post to tell you last night we made a payment that bumped us over the halfway mark!!! AND we have paid off all of our Army Career starter loan, so we only have Andrews student loan left!
 I still intend to update you on the rest of our TMM from the past couple of months.

Happy Halloween!

First Haircut & Vancouver Aquariam

All right, I'm actually posting besides Anneliese's monthly pictures!

Last weekend was a fun one. Saturday night we decided to give Malachi his first haircut...the curls above his ears sure were cute but they were a little out of control. We didn't know exactly what we were doing but Andrew did the finishing touches and it looks great....our little man looks so much older!

Then after mass Sunday we spontaneously decided to visit the Vancouver Aquarium...it was quite awesome. I would highly recommend it to anyone who finds themselves in Vancouver BC. This Aquarium is ranked #8 out of the top 25 in the world, that is, on TripAdvisor, at least. My favorite were the jellyfish....the beluga was cool and of course we really liked the dolphin show. We got some pictures but not tons. Then we ended the day with a very nice Salmon (how appropriate since we spent the day with fish) BBQ at church.

4 months: Anneliese

Ok time is moving too fast. Can't believe it's been another month already....and I haven't posted anything else on the blog since last months pictures. Oh well...one day I'll get caught up.

Poor girl has had a bit of a cough and we thought she had pink eye but it cleared up. The other night she slept 13 hours and only nursed once....and that's only cause I woke her up to give me some relief! We've been home for the past 5 weeks and it's been really nice to just stay put and take it easy.

Here's our little girl:
