Hey everyone! It's quiet here on Sunday morning and we're looking forward to observing God's required day of rest after much work this week!
George and Shirley (Jiddy and Mimi to the girls) stuck around to help us with the details of making our house a home. They have done so much! First, we were able to "steal" many beautiful, well-taken care of plants from our neighbors house across the street who just moved out last Friday. She offered them to me and said "everybody does it!" So Shirley, George and I took the girls wagon over and went shopping as soon as they left! :) It was quite a sight to see the former MP helping us steal! ;) It was like hitting the plant jackpot! It would've cost hundreds of dollars to buy them ourselves. So we landscaped most of the time... okay, let me rephrase that- George, Shirley, and Chris landscaped all weekend while I pointed and nodded my head in agreement. Hee hee. I guess that's a benefit of being nine months pregnant!!!! We took out four of the bushes that surrounded the cute front porch and walkway and planted some nice plants there instead. I cannot tell you how beautiful it looks! I have a garden! It's everything I hoped for!
We also spent time doing other things, Chris and his Dad assembled metal shelves for the garage, they organized everything in there, Shirley helped get alot of my kitchen cabinets super organized as well. You should see my pantry! It's just great. Everyone has been working really hard and it shows!
The girls have enjoyed spending the hot afternoons in the new little pool Shirley picked up for them. It's cute! Emily is a water baby all the way! Taylor is a little more cautious... but it's cute that they have something to share!
I'll try to get some pictures of our beautiful new garden and house as it comes together. Chris stayed up all night organizing "his study" and it's great!
We're slowly but surely getting our new hosue together and getting settled! Only one more big change, having Isabella, and then we're done for the year and spending the rest of 2007 just getting used to our new family and new place!
