Winter scenes

Life is way too busy

I never seem to have time to do anything! Duncan is still looking for work. The only offer he's gotten was in Birmingham which is about 6 hours away. We're NOT moving up there. He wants to move to Pensacola or Atlanta. I told him, we definitely need to wait until the babies are 2 before we move. I get way too much help from my parents right now and they really enjoy being able to pop over and see them when they need a baby fix. Plus the real estate market being what it is, there's no way we'd be able to sell our house right now. It needs some fixing up first.

The first thing will be getting the yard fixed up. Pop has a friend who looked at the yard last week and said it was too messed up to fix. We need to completely resod - which is really exactly what I expected. The weeds have taken over. You can see exactly where the tree rubble from Ivan fell or sat waiting for FEMA to pick up the debris. So there goes the tax refund! But it will pay off in the long run.

The babies are two weeks away from their first birthday! I can't believe it! We're having their party next Sunday - a week early because their birthday is the Saturday of Easter weekend and several potential guests have Easter plans. Logan earns points for Cub Scouts by helping me plan and excute the party. He picked an Elmo theme since the babies love Elmo.

Both babies are sleeping longer - thank goodness! I might actually be able to start working out again soon. I'm only 3 pounds away from my pre-PG weight, but definitely not in shape. Now that it will be light longer and soon will be warmer, we should be able to get out and go for a walk in the evenings. Though I'm not sure about that - Andrew nearly fell asleep while he was eating dinner last night. It was adorable! He was stuffing food in his mouth and nodding off, then jerking himself back awake. Malcolm just shovels food in his mouth and eats more, but is thinner. Must be a higher metabolism!

Logan got his first badge at Cub Scouts a few weeks ago. He's so pround! So am I! He's really working hard to get the next badge. We're working it out so we can go on the Cub Scout campout. My parents, Brooke and Duncan will stay with the babies. And Logan and I will go - hopefully with Frank, Melissa and the girls - to the campout. It'll be my first night away from the little guys! I hope we can all 3 tolerate that!
