A Bit of Catch Up


Well I guess I've got a little to catch up on; I've been at work constantly for the past two weeks and haven't had an extra few minutes to post here. But now I do, so let's see...what's happened? First of all, this past weekend was a good one. Saturday we spent the whole day at home cleaning and doing little projects that have been seeming to pile up. I hung Avril's mirror, shelves, pictures, etc. in her room and lowered Alex's closet rod so he can reach his shirts all on his own. When we go school clothes shopping next month I'm going to stay in the primary color range so they all match because he'll be dressing himself. That's a scary scenario to think about, but we'll see how it works out. Here are a few pics of Avril's room a little more completed than last time I put some up here. The kids were really great all day and enjoyed having mom home for awhile - they found a rope in the toolbox and spent quite a bit of time running around the house doing kid things with it. I don't know all that that entailed, but I know they were happy and that is all that mattered. :) They also jumped on the bed and posed for pics very well. Sunday went well too; we went to Daniel's birthday party at McDonalds and afterward went to the park - so they were quite entertained all afternoon. I also stopped by mom's house under construction to take a couple of pics to share. The one of the main house is taken from inside the window from the apartment above the garage. It's taken through a window screen - hence the slightly fuzzy appearance. But anyway, you can see it. There will be plenty of room for family get togethers and day to day entertaining here, so that will be fun. Also somewhere in here is a picture of our new birds. I think their names are George (the blue one) and Leafy (the green one). The names have changed a few times, but these might stick. Alex is in charge of the naming. lol. I'm not too great at the layout of the pictures on this site, so sorry if they don't line up well. I'm just glad to have gotten them up here. I'm really kinda sad that it is Monday - I don't want to be here at work. I don't want to work full time, and luckily we've put an ad in the paper for an assistant and have gotten twenty something resumes, so hopefully soon I'll have some relief. There are friends out there I need to visit, family I need to visit and fun out there somewhere to be had. Oh, if you're reading this please pray for my uncle who last week was diagnosed with both colon cancer and lymphoma (sp?) so that is a major blow to the family.

Great update! Looks like you have been as busy as we have! It's nice to have a breather for a little while. I LOVE Avril's room it is so stinkin' cute! That's my favorite part of moving into a new house, making it yours! Good luck with the rest!
