diary in short.....

The last while has been busy with lots of things:

I spent time at Levi and Kayla's helping since Taelynn arrived...I would go with her to work so she had help when she had to run the boys to school and back....worked out good and Granny got lots of time to snuggle!

Then in between I would go home to the rental house to help there and get my things ready to move to Ogdensburg and get packed to take a trip..

We all worked on getting the rental cleaned so we could move to the "fixed" house as Mason would say....thanks to all who helped with the cleaning and the moving.

We spent one night in the camper and then we left for Minnesota for my nieces graduation.
They had a very nice country themed party for her in the shed that they used for their produce in the summer....very fitting and it was very pretty.

This next weekend I will be going with Janna and I don't know who else to my nephew's wedding in Kansas.

the wagon wheel from the bottom.. 

when I came home from Levi's I found that my room was
repainted and that the robins had made nests and
laid eggs!!! This joke come from the color that I had
first painted the room....they all called it robin egg blue.

 

 

And the birds also found their way to the sconces on the
wall of the sitting room!!!

 

this is the chandelier that I  picked for the bathroom...the house
is done in oil rubbed bronze..

 

 

Taelynn

The last few weeks I have been spending time with Levi and Kayla helping with Taelynn. Kayla went back to working at about 3 weeks and it was rough...Taelynn takes a lot of time and she felt she wasn't able to give the boys the attention they needed so I have been going with her to help out. Taelynn is kinda colicky and needs to be held up and burped for a while after she has nursed.

what's been happening..

Chris, Alicia and the boys left the 22nd of  March for Florida.....they were gone for 10 days and had a busy time....by spending a day at Disney and a day at Sea World and then on the way home they spent a day at Bush Gardens. They had a house on the beach and Mason was tickled with the "sand box" and I guess even with the water on the cold side they still had fun in the water.

While they were gone I spent the week with Levi, Kayla, and Taelynn.....watching Taelynn change day by day...now it's been almost a week since I've seen here...except for pictures text every so often.

I spent one Sunday by going to New London for meeting and out to dinner with Jr., Marlene and Denny and Marilyn....miss those times...  The next Sunday I went to Gary and Karen's as they live just a street over from Levi's... and they went to Kayla's grandparents for lunch and the afternoon.



Last week we spent the whole week painting the house colors...it was a big job for all... and thanks to all who helped in every way. We still need to put a backsplash up in the kitchen and we are ready for

for them to do the  floors and cupboards and the bath fixtures and...and.....
