Archives for July 2004

Happy 4th of July! We spent all morning and early afternoon at the church. They had a picnic and games and stuff right after church. Emma came home and immediately went down for a nap. If she naps well (and probably even if she doesn’t) we are going with D&D and the twins to see the fireworks later tonight. It will be a late night for the kids but I was thinking this is the last night for a while that we will all be able to go out. D has her c-section on Tuesday, so we will have 4 under 2 to handle and then 5 when ours gets here! Woah! That is unbelievable!

I’m relaxing while Emma is sleeping. I cleaned up yesterday so today I am enjoying ebaying and reading a romance novel while she sleeps. I’m so happy I don’t have to work tomorrow and Scott is off too! We will probably do some things around the house. I would like to get the third bedroom a little cleaned out and organized. If I could decide on a paint color for the bathroom, we could do that too. It is so odd that I can think of nothing for that bathroom. Usually I am trying to narrow down the decision but not this time. I’m clueless. Scott mentioned wanting to paint the living room although I am fine with it for now. I have no idea what to paint it either. I guess we have plenty of time.

We have had a busy but pretty good week. It is no surprise we have spent a lot of time with family. The good news is they have all come over here. We haven’t been to one of our parents house all week. We’ve cooked every night and had one of the families over a couple times. I’m cooking a roast today and having my family over. It’s really nice to be able to have them over and have them enjoy being at the house. Our last house here was just so small, everyone just acted kind of awkward when they were there. Now, they’ll take Emma back to her room and play or just sit here at the computer and mess around or watch tv. It’s been great.

Wednesday was our big dr’s appt. Unfortunately the baby would not cooperate and was sitting on her hiney on my bladder so the tech couldn’t get all the stuff she wanted to see including the gender. So we go back in two weeks to complete the ultrasound. Everything she saw looked really good which I’m ecstatic about.

We found out that Scott works a different schedule up here. They go in and get off an hour earlier. It stinks when he has to work nights and goes in earlier but it’s nice when he works days and he gets home an hour earlier. Today is his first day in our county and guess what? He had to go back to Columbia to get his car worked on. I just thought that was too funny. Anyway, he got back and was stopping cars around here. Mom said he stopped a car in her business park and came into her shop to use the bathroom afterwards. And he was going to stop by here but he had to go work a wreck. It’s just cool that we’re all in the same town.

Emma is a hoot. She has now started waving to almost every child she sees out. And she can’t wave. She has to keep bugging them to turn back around and save again after they’ve already done so. She gets so excited to be around other kids. I think I really want to get her into D’s church’s mother’s monring out this fall. She also has started crossing her arms and just standing there. It’s the funniest thing to see her. She’s really trying to copy a lot of words.

I guess I should go work on something else a little more constructive while she’s napping…
