Things have been a tad bit hectic, hence my lack of posts for the last month...
In the past month-
Michael's Grandpa passed away, which resulted in his Grandma moving back to Michigan from Arizona.
We stained all the skirting on the deck and began the second coat of stain on the 557 miles (maybe i'm exaggerating) of railing on the deck.
Michael got 5 trailer-fulls of dirt and shoveled them into the flower beds, while i worked on raking it out evenly (can you say blisters?!?).
We started our New Member Class at St Paul's Lutheran.
I started a new book and chapter with my Wednesday night girls.
I started a new book with my Tuesday morning girls.
Madeline turned a year old.
We celebrated a wonderful 4th of July with family.
Some weirdo in Grand Rapids went a bit crazy, shooting up the town, and my lil bro was on lock-down at his office.
Betty Ford passed away.
We had a big first birthday party for our little one. It was a HIT!
We got word that Grandpa Swan and Grammy Jan are coming to visit us in a couple of weeks!
I got invited to a Women's Weekend Retreat, in Arcadia, with some wonderful women from our church. I'm thrilled!!!!
There's probably more, but I'm two drinks into my friday night, and not feeling real poetic...
We're getting the girls pictures taken tomorrow and I'm super stoked! Can't wait to see how they cooperate... Fingers crossed...
My blessings? See above.
Michael started setting up a budget... should be interesting...
