Hi - this is Jen. I don't have any big updates, but thought I should write a quick note.
We took down Christmas decorations this weekend. We always put up a fair amount - 2 trees, several wreaths, lots of garland and lights, a little village and train set, outdoor lights, etc, so it takes awhile to take back down. It is kinda sad, the house just doesn't feel so festive and fun. But, the house does feel cleaner. Less clutter. Katie asked what the next holiday is, I think she was alittle sad it was 'over'.
We also made trips to Lowes, Menards, and Home Depot this weekend. The kids were thrilled to say the least! NOT! They did find some excitement in trying out all the shower, bathtubs, and toilets we were looking at. At one point, the 3 kids and I were all squeezed into 1 shower stall with the clear glass door closed. We had a couple strange looks from fellow shoppers. I think the sight of toilets inspired Anna, so we visited the real restroom in every store. We are (we - whatever!, I meant Gary is) going to be working on building a bathroom in the basement over the next couple months. Gary's buddy Scott will be coming in 2 weeks, so we need to make some decisions on what we want to do. I had dreams of a really cool bathroom, but the price tags have brought me back to the reality that we really just need it to function.
We are getting ready to sign the kids up for softball and tee-ball. And swim lessons. But that is all! Last spring, we had t-ball, dance, swim lessons, soccer, and tae-kwon-do. We were busy every night of the week. The spring before, we had t-ball, soccer, swim lessons and a new baby born in the middle of everything. (I cannot imagine what things will be like when the kids are older and all 4 will be in activities.) For some reason, we always over do it and really run ourselves around like crazy. So this year we are just letting them do 2 things each.
Well, the point of this is that it should make the waiting time for the referral time of our little guy and then the wait to travel go alittle quicker. I hope.
Bye. :)
