As for our kitchen mini-makeover, well that's going along well also. I'm happy to report that I no longer am washing dishes in the bathroom sink. Have you tried to srub a pot under a bathroom faucet? And, sadly, our days of take-out and eating out are over. Hey, no one ever said you couldn't make the best of these times did they?
The job would never had happened if it were not for the help of BB and BW taking such good care of LL while DB and I worked. Or for their efforts in the room too. Thanks a million guys, you deserve an ATTA BOY award for sure! One of my favorite moments during all this was when LL did not want to settle for her nap. DB and I were deep in the throes of a job. So to help his baby sister relax, BW got out his guitar and sang her some songs while she fell asleep. Now if that doesn't melt a mother's heart, nothing will. As for BB, well his sheer volume spent caring for LL is impressive all in itself. Never a complaint, never a harsh word, just steady and loving as always. What a fortune little girl she is to be loved so deeply by her Ge-ge's.
Tuesday begins lacrosse season for BB and I am SO ready to see some good game action. BW is actively in search of a new job, a little closer to home. As summer comes we'll all appreciate that.
Recently I've been emailing our friends that we traveled to China with. And I'm so pleased to see that we may ALL actually spend our one year reunion together, despite the big distance between us. I'm hoping and praying it all works out. What an awesome, blessed time it will be to get all the girls together again. Please join me in praying for this special time to work out.
This weekend, we plan to spend some MUCH needed time relaxing together. It has been crazy, but worth it. To cap it all off, the weather here is finally feeling like Spring, AMEN to that! I don't know if I'm just getting more impatient as I get older or what. But this winter seemed to take forever to pass. I usually try very hard not to rush time as every day is precious. But I had to fight hard to keep those winter blues away. But not anymore, Praise the Lord for sunshine, blue skies and flowers blooming.
My mind is so boggled and I was so excited to so easily find a weekend that we could all get together, I completely didn't even think about it being our one year gotcha time. I too so hope it works out. I love to following along with what the girls are doing. I can't wait to see them together. My quiet reserved one is now pretty demonstrative, especially when she want something, and more so when someone else has what she wants! Now you have to post some before and after's so we can better appreciate the difference. I like the counter tops. We did the cabinets but would love to get new countertops. Enjoy your new spring.
