February 2010 Update

  So everytime I finally make another entry, I say I am going to get better at blogging. One of my problems is I'm not sure anyone is even reading....is there anyone out there?!

  I had Benjamin Tangi Tatafu, our son, on October 20th, 2009. He is four months old now and the most fun I've ever had. He loves playing with his fingers and his feet and anything he can get his hands on. He smiles a ton, laughs a little (he doesn't do it too much cause it gives him hiccups, which he seems to hate) and loves a lot. We can't get enough of this kid. He has mommy and daddy wrapped around each of his little fingers and toes. Daddy works from home now, as a freelance artist, so he gets mommy and daddy to tend to him 24-7. What spoiled baby!
 
  Mitch and I have started a business called Tatafu Arts, but haven't had time yet to advertise or find projects because he has so much work coming in from his former employer Seek Mobile Interactive. However, he does still have time for smaller projects like logos, business cards, etc. So if you know anyone who needs these types of things, please contact us. The website is still in the making, so when it is finished I will be posting a link.

  I recently decided to take up crafting, so for my birthday I got a ton of scrapbook paper and supplies. I have only done one small paper project so far but it was really fun! I also got a Sillhouette Sd, which is a vinyl cutter, and have been using that to make crafts too, when the baby permits it.

 I built myself a new computer last week. Who knew it was so easy?! I love it. Except for a few problems with the internet connection, which hopefully will be fixed as we get fiber to the home here in the next few weeks, it is amazingly fast. I put a super fast DVD burner in it, a multi-card reader, and made sure it had a firewire port for the video camera. I am going to use it to do media editing and such for both business and personal purposes. Eventually, I would like to get a 1080p video camera and a Blu-Ray burner for my PC. Because of the internet problems, I am unable to post any pictures but as soon as it is fixed I will do so.

  For my next project I am going to take the first letters of our names and use paper to decorate them and hang them in our family room. At first I was going to go with coordinated paper colors but now I think I will make them individual like us. I have seen a few crafts out there with uncoordinated paper on them and they still looked good. Here goes nothin... :)
