Sunday

Sundays are great days for napping...lucky for us Bruce is putting up curtain rods in the kids rooms and unpacking the last of our boxes from storage. Today after church, we had lunch, but what was special was what we had that wonderful neighbors and friends had made for us. The most wonderful chicken pasta salad from a neighbor whom I had met a year ago at my school job, the most delicious homemade pound cake from my good friend! I so appreciate these women taking the time to bake and cook for my family.

Later after nap, I am looking forward to school shopping with Matt. School shopping is so much fun. It is fun to take each child separately and spoil them a little with lunch and shopping. For now, time for my long awaited NAP!!

Enjoy the day!

Saturday

This is my good Saturday- first i had 2 cups of coffee in my favorite chair. Then Morgan plopped on the floor in front of me to have french braids in her hair.Then we went downtown and shopped together. Looking for shade on King Street because the heat was sweltering. We also went to our favorite "Moes" for lunch, vowing to keep it a secret because Matt and Michael would be so jealous.

Tonight we had good friends for dinner along with some of the kids friends who were here. The tide was so high tonight, the highest we've seen it yet, so the kids kyacked and swam in the creek.When it got dark we ate pasta and lasangne. There were kids sprawled on couches and chairs and we watched the puppy and josie play. Then we lit the torches and sat on the patio.

now everyone is in bed, except for me. I am sitting here in my new nightgown, the one Morgan convinced me to get from Victoria Secret's.I usually get pjs from Walmart, but I have to admit this new one is comfy. The house is so quiet and before i go to bed, i love to go look at each child asleep. Isn't that such a mommie thing to do? we all do it, watch them sleep for a few minutes before we go to bed, no matter how old they get. Good night...

Along with moving into a new(old) house, we also have a new puppy. The sellers Lab had a litter of gorgeous puppies and we fell in love with them, so that is how Cooper came to be part of our family. Since the house we bought needs some TLC, why not get the puppy now before we start fixing things up. We are having soo much fun watching him and Josie the golden play together. I will post pics of the house as soon as I can get my camera charged again. For now, I am busy unpacking boxes and relying on the Piggly Wiggly Deli to feed my family. Every evening, though, I sit outside and admire the huge old oak tree in the yard. It is beautiful and completely forms a canopy of shade over the entire patio. I just love the yard and you will see why when I get some photos of the trees on here. For now, back to unpacking!
