...and We're Back!

I have a confession...we've had the computer back in good working order since Memorial Day. And I've been selfishly indulging in searching forums, browsing Ebay, perusing Craigslist....but I haven't touched the blog. Until this morning. Seriously, at 6am, what a better time to start? I have taken the leap, jumped the jump, and now, you too will once again be advised in what is going on in our lives. I know, you can hardly wait and are peeing your pants in anticipation. Just Hold On.

Why Now? Humor me. Here's a synopsis (like it or not, sorry) of our life since Memorial Day Weekend.

Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend: Travis, Adalynn, and I visited Peerebooms, our local plant experts, and bought our garden stock and perennials to landscape the garage. (Trav had to have these lovely tall, green stalks with fan-like leaves called "King Tut". They're great, they really are. Have to see them.) My mom came down, and we planted. And planted. And planted. And I was exhausted.

Sunday, Monday: I worked. Totally exciting. And, once again, exhausting. Thank you, Trav, for taking care of the house.

Tuesday: Oh, we both worked.

Wednesday: what did we do? Ahh...Trav worked from home and monopolized the computer. Seriously! Like he has to make money or something. (just kidding...)

Thursday: more work. Are you seeing a pattern here?

Friday: Errands. We visited the barn where Kelsey will soon (...today...) be transferred to spend her summer. Hit up Sonic for lunch, and then visited Menards. A fire started in a house in Wayland and Trav left to save the world. He got home just in time for his mom, John, and Naomi came down for dinner for a waaaay belated Mother's Day. The girls played in the sandbox on the deck...gotta tell you, Adalynn's talented. Somehow she managed to get more sand in her diaper and sticking to her scalp then what is remaining in the sandbox. It was a gritty bath.

And Deb, you'll be excited to know that Travis and John fixed the fan in the stairwell. It now works, independent of the light. Travis was SO ECSTATIC!

Saturday: that was yesterday. (just organizing my thoughts. this second pregnancy is harder on the brain than the first one). We traveled to the big town of Shelbyville. With Ed and Deb on a trip out west Trav is manning the car lot. Adalynn and I got a bunch done though, cleaning Kelsey's blankets and shipping boots in prep for today.

Once home, Trav got caught up in the lengthy task of Figuring Out Why the Trailer Lights Wouldn't Work. Now, the trailer is completely rewired, and we (well, he) discovered that the trailer has brakes. huh. who'da known.
Last night: 1:30pm - a big house in Wayland burns down, and Leighton is sounded out. He finally gets home at 5:30 this morning...I'm up. Currently, he's sleeping. But I'm showered, and writing a blog. I've gotten the paper, let out the dog, taken a shower, relaxed with Adalynn. Arg. I know it's going to hit me later.

So, today we're headed to take Kels to her new summer home...I'm almost positive. Here she'll be ridden and get to eat GRASS...just like a Horse should live! I'm excited for her. And soon, I'll post more pictures of what we've been doing since we've been off...fascinating stories of bathroom remodels, sailing in Holland, and more. You can't wait, can you? Me neither, me neither.
