I just wanted to say that I really only like posts with pictures - because face it, we all like pictures. But I seem to be having trouble getting my camera in the same room as the computer and camera cord (to connect them). But fear not, I realize I can actually post WITHOUT pictures, so here I am doing so.
Now that I have gotten that explanation out, I cannot remember what I was going to say! I guess the pictures help me stay focused, too - hehe. Well, here is a list of what's going on in my brain now. . .
Upcoming projects I am excited about:
1. A NEW FENCE!! - in the front yard and part of the side (because the plan is to put a garage in the back - hopefully next year). We have the main parts purchased and sitting in the back yard. Gordie just needs to decide how he is going to put them together.
2. A NEW BABY!! I know, what a shocker - hehe. In about 6 weeks this baby should be moving out. Let me tell you I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!! (Not necessarily the labor part, but definitely the baby can be in a different room than me and I should be able to breathe and sleep or sit in ANY position I want again!) I guess this leads into a sub-list of baby to-dos:
a. clean up nursery (it has become a holding zone for lots of other "things" that really need to be showed to their "real" homes)
b. put up the changing table again and get it stocked
c. put up the playpen and baby toys (like bouncer, swing, play gym)
d. install the carseat and get them all checked again
e. cook lots and lots of yummy meals and freeze them in MY NEW FREEZER!! :)
f. get lots of rest - hahahahaha
3. Laying the concrete for the new garage (that is "scheduled" to begin construction next year when the fund is replenished). This might have to wait until the end of the summer. . . or at least until we figure out what we are doing with the windows as they need to come first.
Let's see. . . Gordie got a new position at work (again) and now has an even better schedule (9am-5pm) so he can take Rebekah to school in the mornings and still be home for dinner.
I've recently started doing yoga (in addition to my other work-outs which have gotten significantly more difficult lately as you can guess why) and I kind of enjoy it.
I guess that pretty-much covers my life right now - minus the cute pictures. I'll try to work on those as soon as I get a spare moment. In the mean time I hear yelling coming from the basement and I probably better go check that out.
Blessings all!
