Since I am a terrible mother and talked about the house first on my first post, I decided to talk about my precious daughter first today. Camden's last day of school was yesterday and they sent home a memory book from the year...she has gained 5 pounds and grown 2 inches in 8 months! If we were hanging on to any dream of her still being a baby, that is all over now. Her hair and legs are just too long to partake in that fantasy.
Funny story from this week...she loves to sleep in some white T-shirts I bought that were too small for me (I bought them at Fred's one day so I would not have to skip the gym when I forgot my clothes). They are of course, huge on her! She picked one out to sleep in on Tuesday night and said, "I look like Noah!" So I sent her to tell Brad, and he asked if she knew who Noah was, and she said "An angel". He said "Good enough!". I like to think all that church going & preschool are taking effect! I promise we did not let her watch Evan Almighty a couple of weeks ago, and they never called him Noah anyway!
We went to the beach for Memorial Weekend (I would say Memorial Day but I had to come home Sunday to work on Monday! Yes, I am still bitter...) and had a great time. These pictures of her as my little sand mermaid and chilling on the lounge chair eating goldfish! She loves the water and turned blue & chattered for hours, but she would NOT get out unless we fed her something!
The house continues to move along! We now have columns, tile in Camden's bathroom, vinyl in the laundry/mud rooms, and best of all, cabinets!!!! They look so great!!! I am very pleased with how they turned out, especially after we had to scale back, thanks to the budget! Brad & Marvin went & picked up the hot water heater, and Brad & Kevin set the pump in the well yesterday. We had one blip this week though, and had to return our wall oven and replace it with a larger one, which also means we have to return & replace the trim kit for the microwave which will be in the wall above the oven! And of course, they were purchased at different places so we have been scrambling! Also, the wrong tile was ordered but they hope to have it in and laid in our bathroom and 1/2 bath by tomorrow or Monday. We are still hoping to be in the house mid July, and it looks pretty good (this week!).
