Sweet Baby Cole

Well, it's two weeks after the fact, but this is honestly the first night that the kids have gone to bed peacefully and the first night that I haven't slithered into my bed the moment that they settled down. Therefore, I'd like to FINALLY introduce Cole, or Coltrain as we've come to call him.

In my totally biased opinion - he is pretty darn cute. His sister is completely in love with him, although she is still a bit peeved that she now has to share the limelight. Thankfully she's taking it out on us and not on him.

Random Bits of My Life

Both the hubby and I are on maternity leave WAITING for little baby to arrive (C has been attending school to keep her schedule normal). Since we are both genrally go, go, go kind of people we're both kinda bored. Therefore, I will pleasure you with the random bits of our lives that fill our day until little baby gets here.

Attacked by window screen this morning. It fell out of the window and landed on our heads while we were sleeping. As quoted from 40 Year Old Virgin, "f****r came out of nowhere!"

Still waiting for little baby which the doctor was quite certain would have come yesterday. LIAR

Eating cruddy dinners since I don't want to tap into my stash of delicious frozen meals which were set aside for when the baby comes.

I would really love to start a new book, but am afraid to commit since I won't have time to finish it.
Husband is on leave from work so he has been mucho busy organizing. Recently he has:
     - painted & touched up the rough spots on the basement walls
     - organized his work room (thank GOD!)
     - installed fencing w/ his dad in the cow pasture
     - Craig's Listed his "Yammer Hammer" (a tractor)
     - varnished the closet door for the nursery
     - facilitated moving his dad's barn  - built in 1850 -200 feet (quite the process). See pictures below.
     - sold a butt load of motorized items that have been cluttering up our house and the barn

C is loving the wonderful spring time weather, so she has been super active and therefore sleeping like a champ. This morning I found her lying with her head at the foot of her bed. She was sprawled out like she'd been partying all night - blankets half thrown across her body. Too cute.

I've been doing laundry every day to keep up on it and so I am really tired of that.

I am also tired of having everything ready so that we will be all prepared for new baby. I guess that we'll survive if things aren't in perfect order. But I'm sure all you type A people get where I'm coming from.

Now I am bored of writing - so "Adios" on this Cinco de Mayo.

Beginning of move. Propping barn up.

Moving barn and turning it toward it's new home.

Home sweet home in the pasture.
