It's been a while...

We've had some stuff going on around here. We had Easter. We had flooding. We had a birthday. We had a visit from Grandpa. We had another birthday. And now we are preparing for our last summer before kindergarten starts! And I can sense it's going to be a busy one.

~skating lessons
~second year of residency graduation
~a trip to NC
~a visit from some west coast peeps
~a birthday
~a joint birthday party
~a trip to MN
~a visit from Gran, Grandpa, Uncle and Cousin
~hockey lessons
~playdates
~kindergarten orientation
~first day of school

Plus whatever else I can manage to get us all into. It's going to be wild this year! Be well!

The joys of home ownership

Our basement flooded. Again. The sump pump took a hiatus (I suggested perhaps the little bobber thingy was stuck) and we ended up with between two and three inches of water all over the place! For shame! But it's all okay now because my darling husband managed to fix it! How you ask? Well, first he went to Big Box store and bought a new pump. Then he took the monkey to a movie. Then he came home and attempted to exchange one pump for the other only to discover that he had no clue how to get the first one out. So off we went to Big Box store to get some hoses and fittings and stuff so he could at least get it started draining the water out until we could get the other pump undone and out. After the Big Box, we got dinner. We get home, he goes downstairs, starts putting together the new pump with the hoses and sets in down in the hole where the other pump already resides because it has to be immersed in water to work wherein it lands on the first pump which triggers it to start pumping water out! So basically, the first pump's do-hickey was stuck and just needed to be hit. But whatever because now we're going to have a nice, dry basement!

Now...

She's turning into such a little person! I can't wait to see who she will become <3

Blessings

My husband, our son, our daughter, my family, our house, our ability to allow me to stay home with our children, friends, chocolate, ice cream, photos, family trips, date nights, pedicures, manicures, spa days, getting my hair done, reading(quietly to myself), reading to my children, music, art museums, international travel, learning new languages, learning new cultures, theater, dogs, cats, work (yes, work), thai food, cute clothes and sassy ridiculous shoes, long drives alone in the car.

The last 30 years have been good to me. Very good. And I'm excited to see what the next 30 hold. Also, it's my 29th birthday despite whatever else you might hear, mmmmkay?
