Here's What's Cookin' These Days

Five months in and we're having a boy:)

Helping Unpack

She got stuck while helping unpack:)

Dining Room

The Chandelier has been Hung!

We've been spending the last couple of weeks settling into our little cottage (in a subdivision, but whatever) and making this place home. It's much like the last home since it has all the same things and the same dear people residing in it. I've come to the conclusion that a little extra space is wonderful, but it's those sweet little people and loving husband are all that I really need.

Today Bill got to work and hung my dining room chandelier. That very act in itself totally made my day, but he made my heart sing by not stopping there. He cleaned, he hung pictures and hooks, he washed the truck, and he grocery shopped for me. So we've slowly been getting this mess of unpacking straightened out! It's not easy adding unpacking to all the other daily chores, but it sure does feel worth every moment.

I would take pictures, but that camera disappears without a trace. I'll have to wait until Kitty finds it (which she's very good at doing by the way).

Morning Goodbye

This morning while dropping Isaac off at school . . .

I usually get to school a few minutes early so Ike can get in his kindergarten line and I head back to the truck to watch until he goes into the building. This morning he caught sight of me sitting in the truck and waved endlessly at me, smiling, and pointing (a stage I adore and will be sad once over so I soaked up every bit of his sweetness;) When his line started to head off into the building, Ike was still waving. Good thing for the kid behind him who gave him a big shove to let him know it was time to scoot along. K-5 kids are SO helpful:)

Dinnertime

We've had some issues with Ike eating what we serve for dinner so lately the timer has been making frequent appearances. The other day we sat down to dinner and upon seeing the meal before him Ike must have known it would take awhile to eat it. "Mom," he said in his deep manly voice, "You going to set the timer?"
