  • We've been home 48 hours now!  Time for an update.

    Around noon on Friday we had our first visitors.  Sarah, Dan and Natalie were in our part of town hitting all the subdivision garage sales so they stopped her for lunch.  Afterwards, I joined them for a couple of hours and found some great buys, including more of those sleep sacs that hide the hands.

    These three spent much of the night awake.  A parent on each couch and the baby in the pack n play.  We're hoping she uses her room once it warms up outside.  She claims her room is way too cold for a baby.  Good grief.


    This afternoon this is what the people in this house were up to:

    Dave was busy installing the new laminate floor in the family room.

    And some annuals.


    I do not want my picture taken since I didn't take a shower so I could play outside in the dirt all day long!


    Michelle is talking about going to church tomorrow with the baby.  We'll see.  I think it'd be OK as long as no one sneezes on him.  I think she's starting to get stir-crazy!


    I hope you get to church tomorrow.  I think it's our last choir until the fall.  We'll miss it over the summer.

  • Reality sets in lol.  Don't you hate to mention that the "no sleep" thing never totally goes away?  That moms sleep with one eye and one ear open all the rest of their lives.

    That's a nice family picture of the three of them though.

    Today I bought some pansies in white, fuscia and deep purple, and also some yellow flowers that right now I'm forgetting the name.  I bought one tomato plant (I've never tried anything but strawberries before) and a geranium for the pot on the front porch.  Zandstra's in Highland has a nice selection.

  • Lovely baby, garden, new floor, kitty cat... thanks for the update!

  • Great pictures and glad to see  you got outside.

    Hope the rest of the weekend goes well.  I am old fashioned, I guess, because I wouldn't be taking a newborn out in public so soon....but you and Michelle know best.

  • Barney seems to be taking all this in stride..

  • nice pics!!!!  you must be exhausted!

    Have a great Sunday and God bless you all!((HUGS))

  • It was an awesome day to be in the garden!!  I got a lot done, but much to do.  Good thing I have Mon and Tues off.  Glad M can nap during the day.  Have a great sabbath!

  • RYC:  I weigh more than most of you think so....the diet works good for me!

  • I guess Michelle will realize she'll have to nap when the baby naps or else she'll really be exhausted. You haven't mentioned if Sam has moved in with you. I hope he is a good daddy.

    Have a great day and don't get too overworked because I have a funny feeling you're going to be babysitting a lot.

    What veggies did you plant? Any cucumbers? I love garden cucumbers.

  • RYC  The $100 was only at church I spent 1/2 that at the nursery on Friday!!!  Everything looks soo nice! 

  • RYC:  For my city slicker friends I will post the site of Bush Hogs so you can become edikated!

    Are those Elephant Ears already that tall?  I'm just hoping that all I put into the ground....2 purchased and many given us.......grow.  I have been told it takes them a long time to come up.

  • I surely would not want to go through those first few sleepless weeks again!   Guess that is why babies are for the young.   I have my flowers all out, and now we have a frost advisory for tonight.  Will bring my two hibiscus plants (in pots) inside, and my two hanging impatiens will go in the garage---just in case.

  • Oh my--sorry I have ben away and missed the happy event! Congratulations to Michelle and everyone! He's adorable!!! *hugs*

  • I remember sleeping so little when they were that little. I did not know if I was coming or going. That is a good idea planting things in the kitty pool.

  • RYC:  Darn, I thought I put just the page with the pull-behind-the-tractor-bush hogs on it.  Fooey!!!  Anyway it is a big flat looking thing with double blades under a platform that you mow big fields and brush with.

    I know I have that hosta.  After I went back and looked at your site again I can tell I have it.  In fact if it is an old time hosta I think it is the one that was here when we bought the farm and got me started on my hosta kick.  I am just going to have to learn to do pics. on here.  I have 3 hosta beds and many more planted here and there around the property.  The huge one that was here has been separated many times and has off-spring all over the place.
