Some of you may wonder what we we've been doing over the last few weeks. Well, the answer is a little bit of everything. I've gotten into a get-projects-done mode lately and the kids have been helping out(more like supervising). So while Mommy has been busy getting this and that done, Henry and Emma have been "helping" or playing in the same room. We've hung new curtain rods in Mommy and Daddy's bedroom, moved furniture in the family room, hung pictures around the house, fixed some toys and other items around the house, helped cook meals, learned to drive a race car, helped cut down some trees, and doe some other yard work with Mommy and Daddy. Almost all of the little projects are done and it feels good to have them out of the way.

We were outside for a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon working in the front yard. The bushes by our front porch needed a trim badly. So while I did that, the kids brought out some of their tractors and trucks and a few other toys and dug in the dirt and got nice and dirty:) And then we went out again this morning with the intention of getting half the backyard mowed for Daddy, but Mommy couldn't get the mower going. So instead, I worked on breaking down the small tree that Jason had already cut down into smaller lengths for bundles. I was going to work on the larger limbs needing to be cut down as well, but poor Henry was being eaten alive by mosquitoes. So we came in and had a nice shower and got everyone cleaned up. I anted to get more done before tomorrow when supposedly we are to get more rain. And because our social schedule is about to get really busy.

We have some major events coming up very soon. This weekend(Saturday), we will be going to the State Fair of Texas for the first time. And then on Monday, Granny Henriksen flies in for a visit to Aunt Lisa and Uncle Brian's and us. And then a few days after that or maybe before, our new baby cousin will be born!!! And in between those events, we'll go to Uncle Kevin and Aunt Julie's wedding reception. And then soon after that we'll go up to meet our new baby cousin and visit with Aunt Lisa and Uncle Brian and Granny.
