Babies, Babies & More Babies!
Babies are everywhere! This has been a summer filled with new babies. My friend, Christy, who lives in Arizona had her little boy in June so I went to visit her a few weeks ago and meet the little guy. Another friend of ours had twins recently and we got to visit them last Tuesday. Then Wednesday night Darren and Kelli had their baby girl and we went to visit them Saturday. My brother had their fifth child Thursday night. It’s crazy!! But it’s so much fun shopping for baby stuff. There are so many cute baby things out on the market.
Marin had a few rough weeks recently. She had strep for a few days and had to go to the doctor and get a shot. That was an experience as she screamed bloody murder when they stuck it in her leg. Then a week after we got rid of the strep she had some type of stomach bug and she was up a good portion of the night throwing up. She was fine the next day after we gave her pedialyte and crackers but we were exhausted from being up all night so I worked from home and Eric took a sick day to recoup.
She starts ballet class again next Monday. Now that she is a little older I am hoping she takes direction a little better and doesn’t just run around the room like she did last year. Since she already has the uniform from last time all I have to buy is ballet shoes since her feet have grown a bit. I have to keep reminding myself to get that done before Monday.
It’s been a hot summer and we are only halfway through August. This triple digit heat is getting to me. I’d like to take Marin to the park or something but it is unbearable outside and even with the sun goes down the humidity is still horrible. I am counting down the days until fall season begins. It’s my favorite time of the year. I think October is my favorite month of the year. Our anniversary is that month, the weather starts to cool down and I love Halloween time.
We have procrastinated painting the guest room. I wanted to paint it ages ago when we first bought the house but all the other rooms took priority. When we painted Eric’s office several months ago I decided I would paint the guest room also but we got busy and put it off again. I am now adamant that I need to paint it before I just give up and it never gets done. So in the upcoming weeks that is my goal. After discussing it with Eric he only got excited about doing it after I mentioned I would like a two tone wall with wood trim around the room. He immediately decided we needed a miter saw and jumped on the computer to find one. He found one on Craigslist that was in great condition. Brand new it would cost $120 but he got this one for $60. Now we’ll just wait and see if he can get the trim cut and installed correctly.
