Princess Allie

This year, Allie's birthday fell on class picture day at Cedar Park Kids Day Out. So naturally she wanted to get dressed up and - thanks to the lovely Abbie Price for her donation of the dress - I only had to buy her a sparkly crown from the dollar store. If you want to see how they turned out, click here for the proofs.

Allie's birthday week is finally over! She had two class parties, one home party (presents and cake) and a whole week filled with "It's my birthday so I'm going to act like a brat". Now its over. We can all breathe.

The Book

I know I said I wouldn't talk about the book here, but I just wanted to remind you all that I WROTE A BOOK!!!! I crack myself up :) Anyhoo, I haven't been blogging here because I've been blogging over at http://www.kerineal.com/author. Ego was released on Monday and so far I've gotten tons of positive feedback. YAY!

The family is great, Stephen got a new job and is doing great, apartment life is still great, everyone's healthy. I think that just about covers it!

OK not really :)

But seriously, I did write a novella titled EGO. It's a mystery. And lo and behold Bradley Publishing loves it and wants to publish it. Yay me! The publisher designed the cover already. I know, I know... but this is the way it works and I had to let this cover go. I love what they did with it :)

I'll keep you all updated on it's progress over on my author's blog. I'm trying to keep the family news seperated from work news. So far I just know that it has a release date of April 2012. It's at the editor now so I'm expecting revisions of mass proportions :)
