I'm back!

Well, I've actually been back online since last week, but this morning, Goody decided to stay in bed after I got up! I thought I'd use that rare opportunity for a quick post.

I had hoped when I left that my first entry would be titled, "The House is Finally Done!" Unfortunately, it is still under construction, although we are down to a manageable list: the master bath needs the remaining half of its tile installed; the kitchen cabinets need to be built and installed; and the landscaping completed. Whew. We are so close. The house is awesome. Tim ran into a realtor at the grocery store who said he could have a buyer for it in a day, even though Tim told him we would ask $450K for it. The realtor didn't bat an eye. Of course, that's really made us consider selling...wouldn't you!?

Before:

After:

I hadn't realized that I don't really have a total "After" shot. The porch is not totally finished here and there's still a ladder on the house. Check back to this post in a couple of days to see the real finished front. The screen door is so cool.

I'm sure you've all seen this photo of Goody by now, but it's my most recent favorite so I have to include it. She really does enjoy looking at books. Even at 12 weeks, which she is in this photo, she looks at the pictures very intently, and has started touching some of the images. I need to get her a touch-and-feel board book.

I really, really hate going to Walmart anymore. I prefer Target or Fred Meyer, but I have to admit that the Walmart photo center is cool. You can upload your photos there for friends and family to print or view. Much easier that trying to email 50 pictures. If you are not on my account and would like to view my photos, reply to this post and I will add you.
