three trips to target and a work well done

in order to let g'pa and john finish work today, the boys & g'ma & i hit target twice... i titled this three trips since we were there yesterday too.

so.... the trailer is loaded and g'pa and his tools leave tomorrow. today, he put in two new windows.... i didn't know you could see the backyard from the kitchen. :)
this is the window in the living room he replaced.

closed off where there were pocket doors....more paint samples.

trimmed the dining room/kitchen opening.

and john put in the final two cabinets with counter top... more shelves to come with g'pa's base boards being shown off.

it has been quite the journey. i wasn't sure i was going to survive at times... or i might have survived but my children were not going to. g'ma helped me unpack the kitchen, clean the bathroom, and get a new shower curtain that looks pretty.

the wall in the boys room is still at least a week away from being done, so we aren't settling in just yet. i think i can see it around the corner though. of course there is still the bathroom off the kitchen to be finished, shelves to be put up, and paint to be spread.... but the intensity is slowing down... thank the lord. now, if i could just keep my floor clean... oh wait, i never did that before. thanks for keeping up with us.

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
