Well, time has just slipped right past me. I can't believe it! Daniel is a full blown crawler. I can't believe how fast he moves and how quickly his little hands get into things! I have to hide things and lock things up. I really didn't have to do that with Sarah--she was more content. But not Daniel, is a little mover!!
Sarah had a wonderful 'Tangled' birthday party. It was what she asked for. It was great. I made sourdough and ciabata bread (long and tedious process) and made her cake. I labeled all the foods with characters from the show. It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work! She got a ton of presents too! She's a spoiled little 4 year old, but she's worth it. Pictures will be posted when Becca gives them to me. My camera pooped out, so I have to depend on others for pictures.
Daniel got his first haircut! He looks so much older!! I can't believe what a haircut can do to a little baby.
BEFORE
AFTER
The house is coming along great. Jordan and I have been busy, busy, busy! The Parade of Homes is September 9th-17th, but we must have everything completed by the 6th. And we need to close on our house as well. Whew, it's a lot to do. Jordan and Jon (bless his heart) did our sprinkling system. Uncle Dave back-filled it with top soil and we're ready for curbing. We're getting that on Monday. Wednesday we're laying sod. Monday we get carpet and a kitchen backsplash. The painter is coming tomorrow to stain the banister and the front door as well as work on touch ups. Jordan and I need to seal the tile. The wood floor is done (hallelujah!). And I'm working on sewing curtains. Like I said, we've been busy. And with two kids, it makes things extra hard. But, there is a light at the end of this house building tunnel. We'll be moving in after the Parade of Homes and we can return to our lives before we decided to build. It's been a great experience, but a very time consuming and hardworking one. In the end I know it will be worth it. Pictures of the house will come soon, too.
