Fun Times

Well, we have had a crazy last four weeks. After Ken working weekends two weekends in a row, he and I decided to work on our bedroom before the baby comes and to our suprise when we started to remove the existing wall paper, we found that the previous owners wall papered three times and painted over the wall paper each time. They also didn't use the correct backing on the first layer of wall paper so we had to do major drywall repair. Good thing Ken is quite skilled at dry wall. This whole process took about 4 weeks start to finish, working on weekends and Ken has been working like a dog! I think HE has a major case of nesting!

Then, Memorial weekend, at the same time that we were working on our room, I got super sick! I had the flu and a bacterial sinus infection, which I got from Anna. That took us both two weeks to shake and we still aren't 100% back to normal.

THEN, we lost power for 5 days due to the storms that came through! We are greatful that the nights were cool. With the help of a generator we were able to save most of our food and stay at home. Anna was confused at first as to why we went potty in the dark, and I explained that we lost power. So now, when we turn on the lights she is thrilled that we "found the power!"

Now, back to normal... we'll see how long that lasts! I am looking forward to a weekend of us just hanging out!

So far so good with Anna being excited about baby #2... lets hope she keeps it up when her little sister arrives. Here she is doing an interpertation of Mommy.




For Mother's Day, Anna painted me some flower pots. The only way I can get her to wear a tee shirt and not a dress is to convince her that she will get her dress dirty.


Some sleeping pictures of Anna, still a book worm. In this one, she pretty much collapsed in her bed! Poor baby!

Here are Anna and her friend Caeley playing in her car.

We also bought Anna a swimming pool and Aeril sprinkler to play with. She is quite the beach beauty!

Here is a video of Anna saying her ABCs. She has been saying them since about 2 years, but lately she has been morphing her LMNOs into one word. I didn't want to correct her until I got it on video.
