Spring cleaning, a little late . . .

. . . as usual. But it is so nice to clean out cubbards and re-arrange stuff. No photos to accompany this post (as I just realized that I don't always have to post pictures), since everything's crazy in organized little piles all over the house, but I think I'll post some "after" pics.

Update on our family: we just got back from NY, visiting my best friend and her beautiful family. I want to be there again already so bad!!! Went to D.C. to visit my cousins and the temple, where my brother David got his endowments in preparation for his mission to Frankfurt, Germany next month. Very cool experience to be with him in holy places.

Justin's working hard, doing 12 hour shifts. On his days off, he works in people's yards for extra $, but I think it's really so that he can have an outlet for all his gardening passion, since he can't really do much in our little yard.

Lauren just got accepted to 4-K for the coming school year! She's extatic, and wants to know all about her new teachers and friends, and if she gets to ride the big bus.

She's also very excited about having a new baby SISTER in November!!! Baby girl is doing great, right on schedule for the 20th, and Momma's feeling fine. I'm a little slow and clumsy at times, and actually cat nap occasionally, but other than that, pregnancy is going great for me. Well, I have to keep reminding myself not to turn sideways to fit through tight spaces -- I keep getting stuck! It's lots of fun to plan for a new little girl, and Lauren's already decided she's going to get a bunk bed for the two of them, and she gets the top one!

Anyway, we're doing great. Wish we could sell our little 2-bedroom house and get something bigger with a larger yard for Justin, but no one's biting right now. Guess we have to wait, and we'll appreciate it when we get there.

Well, this was nice to have a little rant about our family. I should do this more often!!! ;)

  1. I'm glad things are going so well for you family. Tell Justin he can come and work in my yard anytime. We have so much that we can't keep up with it. But I just harvested some spinach that I planted and some onion that came up on it's own. Actually anytime you want to visit Utah you have place to crash here. I miss both of you. And with everything going on with Micki I wish I could give you both a great big hug. It is exciting that Lauren is going to 4 K. I'm not sure what that is but I'm guessing it's like a kindergarten prep class. She will love it. My Joshie starts first grade in about 2 weeks. Yicks!!! Well sorry about the novel. Congratulations again on the baby!! Love Ya!! Nichole
