Our last few weeks

Where has the time gone? Yes we're still here, we've been starting on some projects around the house and had a lot of busy days. We're hoping to get our basement refinished as it flooded 3 years ago and has been unfinished ever since. We were able to find brand new berber carpet on Craig's list, (72 feet of it for only $400) and have found some deals on the padding, lighting, most the supplies so hope to be starting that project soon!! It will be great to have the basement useable again! We or more correctly Uncle AJ is working on a play house out side for the kids, this has a story of it's own that I'll have to tell later. I am also working on landscaping the front yard and hope to get farther on it soon as we reportedly have 80 and 90 degree days coming this week!!


Phi loves to be out doors and finds any excuse to escape when possible.


He also loves to be in the middle of whatever we are doing to "help" too!
And actually will help with putting away toys, putting things in the garbage,(so far it's been things that are supposed to go there) getting things for Mom, A's binky, something across the room etc. moving things from here to there, groceries to the cart, small pieces of wood from wheel barrow to the box. It's so fun to watch them learn.
Climbing on things is still one of his favorite pass times.


Here is the begining of the play house


And guess whose "helping"


"How fun, some new toys"!!


We had a mother's day dinner @ Dad and Mom B's on Saturday, to hear more about it you can check out Jenn's blog she got lots of fun pictures while we were there. Here are afew of mine.

And Gram'pa and Kate!

Speaking of Kate, she and her mommy came over for a visit yesterday. Us moms did a Tae'Bo workout together and then Deb helped make dinner and cleaned up my kitchen afterwards as a mother's day gift! Thank You! I also got to take an uninterrupted shower while she and Uncle AJ( who was working on the playhouse again after work) watched the kids. It was a fun evening and great to see projects getting done out doors and in!



Kate and her Uncle Gene watching the progress.


Kate and Phi reading a story to each other.

Kate: "Here I'll turn the page for you"...


Phi: "Wa,WA,WA,wa,wa"


"Next page, I'll get this one"


And this is my Mother's Day present
:0)


Little A is now almost 3 months
the smiles come very easily and he "talks' to us.
He's very social and gets fussy just sitting in his swing with no one to talk to.
He also loves to be held even when he's sleeping and usually wakes up within afew minutes of being set down unless he's really out. He likes to be outside too and will sit happily blinking in his chair in the bright light.


Smiles!!

Cute photos! The last one of you and Phi is really sweet! Glad you are doing well and keeping busy, Sarah. Little A is changing quite a lot - one of the benefits of taking pictures and having a blog...you can really see the changes!
