She's 2!!

Ella had a birthday...shout hooray! She is definitely a 2 year old girl. Sugar and spice (LOTS of spice) and everything nice. I am so glad that I have a little girl. She keeps things interesting. We had a quick little birthday party with her. My mom made some yummy chocolate cupcakes with pink almond frosting. They were too delicious. She opened opened one present and then tried to pass around the others. She didn't quite get that they were all for her, but she caught on quickly!

Exhausted!!

Totally exhausted these days. We are living next to the folks, sort of. Long story, but we are renovating a house and are working to make the upstairs hapitable. The bathroom was gutted so as soon as it is operational we will be moving in. For now we are staying in a friends basement apartment. Totally grateful for a place to go and sleep every night.

Every day my AMAZING mother watches my kids while I go work on the house. Super amazing because she has my sisters 5 kids too. She watches them, feeds them, gives them naps, feeds us dinner and makes it possible for me to save some money by doing the labor myself. Along with my dad and brothers that is. And with the help of their wives. Bobbi is my design consultant.

AND GRANDMA S!!! She has come over to help wash walls, cupboards, floors, counters, mud drywall and sand. And twice she has brought lunch to all of us. I hope one day that when I am her age I will be as young as she is. She works harder than I do!! AMAZING!!

Sooooo...that is my reason for not posting. Gonna get to it soon.

Got a good post brewing in my head. Too tired tonight to post it. But I will sooon! If any one is itching to volunteer free labor I might know a place... :)
