We got back home from my mom's house a little earlier this evening. The drive home was long, like usual, bat we had a good time. Dane and I spent a bit over a week there, and hubby came over on Friday night. We were able to bring home everything we need for Linnea in the very beginning, but it fit just barely. I sorted all of Dane's old clothes, so ( Read more... )

There are two ways to get to the top of an oak tree. One way is to sit on an acorn and wait; the other way is to climb it.
- Kemmons WilsonThis is funny.... Today hubby's birthday presents came. He wanted seeds to grow some special bonsai's. These seeds all have separate instructions on how to make them sprout... One has to be placed in warm for 120 ( Read more... )

We have been trying really hard to get stuff done around the house... I have defiantly done way too much in the past 2 days, but things are really shaping up. A few more hours of work and the wall of bookshelf will be all done. Hopefully we can work on it a few nights this week after hubby gets home from work, and then put the finishing touches ( ( Read more... )

I have decided I do not like the peaches from California at all... I have been seeking out the Eastern or Georgia peaches. Those seem to be much better ( Read more... )

Weekends never seem to be long enough. We got to spend quite a bit of time with my aunt and cousin this weekend. It was so nice to have them in town for a few days, instead of just a few hours. We ate out with them 3 times, which is more than we probably should have, but everyone survived, and Dane did ok. It has been so hard to take him out to eat ( Read more... )

I am trying so hard to get things done. I want to have the house picked up, and closer to "clean" before my aunt comes tomorrow. I can barely do just a little bit before I am worn out, so I highly doubt I will be where I want to by the end of tomorrow. I also am trying to catch up on everything that we should be getting done this weekend, but ( Read more... )

Today my little brother would have been 26. I really wish he had stuck around to see Dane, and Linnea. I am sure they would have loved their uncle.

After 4 whole very wasted hours and then a 24 hour wait, I do not have gestational diabetes. That whole eat and drink as you wish before the 1 hour test at the office did not work well for me. Guess eating a late lunch, and drinking water was a bad thing. At least I will not have that issue looming over Linnea. Had another ultrasound last week too ( Read more... )

Hubby's cat is like 18 years old. In the last 4 years he has gotten progressively more and more loud, especially at night. We do not know if it is a hearing loss thing, or even a other cats in the area type of thing. No matter what the reason the cat has been waking me up for years. I am such a light sleeper to begin with, and being pregnant has ( Read more... )

Hubby and Dane love playing mega blocks together. We have around 2 sets of them, and hubby is always saying how he needs more to build anything good. I looked all over Craig's list, and we have been searching the flea markets, and garage sales when we can, and I have still yet to find more for them. So I finally turned to Ebay. Yeah I bit more ( Read more... )
