Plumbing

Had to take some pictures of Dad and Jack fixing our backed up sink.  Well, trying to fix the sink.  The snake I bought wasn't long enough, so we had to call a plumber.  15 minutes and $220 later our clog was fixed.  Doug then replaced the faucet which was leaking.  Of course, nothing in life is easy.  The new handle hit the new sprayer.  So, the quick fix was to swap out the new handle with the old. Problem solved.

And the new faucet didn't fit.  Life can't ever be easy

Fernbank Nature Quest 5.27.11

We decided to head over to Fernbank's Nature Quest a few weeks ago.  I love that is 7 minutes from my house. Jack and Abby love it there.  I love that the area is small, making it easier to watch 2 toddlers. 

Aimee and Reese Murphy went as well.

Two Sick Kids 7.9.11

We are having a lazy morning.  Both Jack and Abby are sick.  This is when it would be nice if Jack would sit for a movie. 

Savannah Bischoff

June 29th, 2011 I became an aunt again!  Savannah Bischoff was born at 3:12am.  She was 7lbs 15oz and 20.5 inches long.  PJ had (well, to me) a fabulous labor with not feeling any contractions, just some pressure.  I find it amazing.  It is encouraging to me that hopefully I can have a labor like that with Butterpond!  Savannah is adorable and super sweet.  They had a rocky start with nursing, weight loss and jaundice, but PJ did great and they are on the nursing & weight gaining path now.  It is nice to have a small baby in the family, I know my mom is smitten.  Abby was 10lbs at 5 days, so it is sweet to have a little 7lb baby to play with.  I don't have any pictures of her since when I went to the hospital I was worried more about getting her to the breast than taking pictures.  I will get one and post it later.  She is a cutie!

Dirt Castle

Jack is always wanting to build a dirt castle.  I have taken a picture of my castle.  I am pretty proud of it.  I like the blue door, I think it makes it homey.

Jack never seems to finish his

July 4th, 2011

Yesterday was pretty exciting because Doug was able to feel Butterpond move around.  It is harder to feel movement on the outside because my placenta is anterior (on the front).  I can't wait for Jack to feel him move.
