Just another day...

Not too much new or exciting is going on, but things are going pretty well. Titus started daycare last week and really seems to like it. Tim says he's the only kid that is not fuussing when he drops him off. The first day I went to pick him up, he looked up at me and went right back to the toys. However, another boy grabbed my leg for dear life. Titus is so good natured. He is walking all over the place. Ever since he got any confidence at all, he's been more concerned about speed than grace, so he stumbles a lot, but he looks so proud when he walks around the house. He even moved up to the toddler nursery at church.

I'm at the really tired all the time and not liking eating so much stage of things, but other than that, I'm doing pretty well. My first appointment is in few weeks, but it's just a nurse info intake appt, so nothing exciting for a couple of months, I'm sure. That's fine with me, the less excting, the better when it comes to pregnancy. Please keeping praying for a healthy baby for us. No names picked out yet.

Tim has started working full time. He likes the job in general, although the other guys there are having a hard time accepting him and they seem to enjoy making things difficult for him and trying to keep "in line." Not that he is doing anything wrong. There's just a big generation gap. Pray for the transition to smooth out for him.

We still have so much to do on the house and so many boxes to unpack. It's hard to find the right order to get things done and finding a place to start. Mostly, life in general is busy enough with us both working full time and having a 1 year old that we never feel like we get much done in a day. Tim gets so much more done than I do. Hopefully it will feel like home eventually.

Not much else. As soon as find the battery charger to my camera, I can take some more picutres and get them posted. We love you all!

Announcements

Well, I had another birthday this week. They seem to be coming faster these days. I guess that's just part of life. I guess I should start feeling like an adult at some point, but most of the time I still feel like a kid, even though I a kid. Not sure what's up with that. Tim and his parents got me a Wii for my birthday. I guess that's not going to help me feel too old. I thnk I like that.
Here in a couple of weeks we are going to get to go to LasVegas, NM where Tim's sister lives. I'm going to stay and help her while her husband Logan and Tim (and maybe others) go hunting for elk. Pray that they will get one b/c that will fill their freezer for quite some time. She is due to have a baby around that time so I'll be there to make sure she's okay.
In other news, as many of you may already know, we have found ourselves to be expecting another little one in April sometime. We're still early on in the game, so keep us in your prayers. I have my 1st appointment in Septmeber. We'll keep you posted.
That's all for now. Take care and write when you can.

Progress

Well, as I mentioned, I have not posted much lately. We didn't have a whole lot of new news, but this has been a fairly eventful week. We finally made a place for the dining room table and were able to eat a real meal at it, with Titus at his high chair and everything. (He usually eats in his bouncer :-( I know, I'm a bad mommy!)
Tim has done a great job getting his garage stuff out of the kitchen and getting his garage organized. I know for most that is the last place to be organized, if ever, but not for him. He loves a clean, neat workspace and that is his workshop and haven. Regardless, our kitchen is getting cleaned out! In light of getting the kitchen clean and organized, we have a stovetop as of today!!! Thanks so much Mom and Dad!!! That was a great b-day present! We have most of the painting of the cabinets done. We just need to work on the doors. I don't remember if I mentioned it or not, but we have a dishwasher too. Life is good with a dishwaher. God bless America!
I finally got phone and internet service to our house, just to realize that we have covered up all the phone jacks when we were patching and replacing drywall. How silly are we? I did find the phone. So that is at least a step in the right direction, but Tim is going to have to figure out something with the phone lines. If you want our new phone number and address, just e-mail me and let me know. Make sure and give me your name in the e-mail if you think there's any chance I won't recognize it since I have made this a public blog. Don't want the bad guys to find us! ;)

Pictures (of Titus)

I know it has been a while since I posted. I started to a few times, but there wasn't really any new or exciting things to post. But I finally have a link to the 1 year portraits we had done a few weeks ago. I have the CD, so I will try to post them in a more direct manner later. But for now, here is the link to the Sears web site.

I hope that works. I'll double check it. On that some note, I have the CD and copyright, so if you want a copy of anything you don't need to pay $15 a sheet. Just let me know and I can either mail you a copy of the CD or email the picture or print it for you and send it to you. If you are a grandparent or great grandparent or Titus' aunt or uncle you will have something coming to you, but I didn't order a lot of prints this time. Let me know and I will be glad to get them to you.
