If you are just tuning in – please scroll down just past this post to see Brian’s first post from Bulgaria!!!!
I downloaded pictures from my phone to share a picture with Brian… but there were quite a few, so decided to do a blog post.
Maggie on the way home from getting an immunization… she wasn’t too worried about her shot, because she just wanted to play with the bandaid. Gross!
The girls a few weeks ago before Maggie was potty trained… sitting on the futon and watching out the window for Papa to get home. We’ll be doing this in our hearts until he’s home!
That was a big carrot (from our garden):
Britton – you crack me up!
Abba Roy holding his new baby girl. Although the quality of the picture leaves lots to be desired, I thought his expression to Ellie was precious. (Not sure how he’s going to feel about me using the word precious to describe him… haha):
What do you do with bored kids at a hospital while they’re taking turns visiting their new baby sister? Play glove guitar, of course!
I graduated to being able to drive the Swart van in the Swartmobile. Then I went home and slept for a week.
A few weeks ago making the now-familiar trip to Salem to get an apostille:
THAT is a big apple!!!!
Hooray for organic apple seconds for $.25/lb!!!! I dried a third, sauced a third and sold a third to my friend.
I love my new giant 20 qt. stock pot. Made a lot of applesauce all at once!
So now to the pictures that I took for Brian. I rearranged our bedroom to fit a pack n play in there. I know it’s early, but I wanted to get it ready for Jordan. Hopefully he’ll sleep great in his crib in the girls’ room, but this is the backup plan. (the backup to that is that we have a futon in the living room for B and me) Ummm…. so yeah – the room’s a little cramped. It would be just right if we didn’t have the recliner in there too. But I want the recliner in the house somewhere and there just isn’t room anywhere else. (maybe he will let me rock him and sleep with him at night to help with bonding?)
Better view of the easy chair. Anybody want to suggest a way to rearrange? (and the wardrobe does not move)
Jordan’s new digs… can’t wait to have all my kids home!
And why not show the rest of the house – I”m on a roll, right?
Nothing like sharing your kitchen with the world to make you realize how much you want to declutter!
My great accomplishment – I mowed the lawn and dumped all the leaves. It was a lot of bags!
Good job mowing the lawn! Exciting to see rooms getting ready for Jordan!
