Happenings at our home

Over the last ten weeks we have not stopped. I had plans, well mostly plans for Justin and all the things I was  going to be able to get him to do while I was  home.  Some of my plans went by the wayside when he came home the weekend before the baby was born with a tractor and tilled up our backyard.  Two months later (thanks in large part to a wet April) we still have some unfinished projects back there but we finally have grass again, a huge sandbox, a drinking fountain and some cement in front of the shed.  Up next painting all the soffit and fascia and the deck.  The work is never done.  Well there would be a light except I wanted one of my projects so we now have a completely gutted master bath.  We are finally getting rid of the yellow tile and putting in something new.  I am not very good at this whole design thing so hopefully it comes together at least better than what it was.  The kids and I have tried to stay busy with play dates and typical house cleaning and  I am now starting the dreaded two week countdown before I go back to work.  I can not believe how quickly twelve weeks can go when you don't want it to. Life has been so much busier with two kids  and keeping up with Seth is always a chore. The kid has boundless energy and always wants a playmate.  Norah is such a sweet baby.  She cries when she is tired, hungry and wet.  Otherwise she is smiles and coos and loves to be talked to.  She loves her brother already and always has a smile when he comes around even if he is  not talking to her.  I am so grateful for these little kiddos and wish that my leave had two more months.  We still had so many plans for family outings that we were not able to do.

We also had Seth in T-ball. His attention was not always  perfect but I think he enjoyed it. 

We managed to sneak in a quick camping trip to East Canyon.  Seth refused to join the family picture.
