O Hai blogging world

Thank you for the comments on our little “on the fly” family photograph. I feel like I haven’t blogged in forever but it’s only been less than a week. December was looking pretty grim financially but a break here and another there has made it a lot more bearable on the pocket and we are able to still buy Christmas presents for our families now.
On the ick note, Randy finally got the support paperwork that states he has to pay $7,200 or something similar for spousal support to his ex wife. It’s at my parent’s house but we’re going to get it this weekend when we go over. We will be sending the absolute minimum possible per week, especially considering circumstances. It’s a messed up situation all over that never should’ve even occurred but NY is stupid like that. We have each other and our daughter. That’s something she can never have influence over.
So onto bigger and better things. Pictures are Monday at 3:30. Depending on sitting fee costs, I may consider family portraits if possible but who knows. I’ve never had professional pictures done before and they’re mad expensive from what I’ve seen. We have her little dress all picked out and everything. Winter has finally hit and I am NOT enjoying it. It’s cold, it’s wet, it’s windy/rainy/snowy. Welcome to December.
Here is a video of Gracie talking for a full 30 seconds. She was sitting on the couch, toppled over, and this is what she had to say about the whole thing.

Ugh that is so incredibly ridiculous about him having to pay her but yeah NYS laws can be so stupid, I agree. I’m glad you are able to push past it and realize it doesn’t matter because you guys are the winners in the end. You have a beautiful family and each other.

That’s crazy that he owes that much to her, since they weren’t even together that long. And most of that they were separated right? Here, you have to be married 5 years before you can seek any alimony or assistance.
That’s such a cute video of Gracie…I don’t think she liked falling over!

Wow! Thats a lot of money, I’d send the minimum as well.. I think spousal support is a little bogus to be honest.. unless theres children involved I think its silly and even then it shouldnt be spousal, it should be child support.
What a cute video of Gracie.. she is SO precious!
