Busy...

It really feels like my life never stops moving...probably because it doesn't.  We have made great progress on the house but that means it's been busy, busy, busy...Saturday we finished up getting all the decking fastened to the walls, talked with a good friend (also a construction guy) about some of our roofing questions and some other things and got the house mostly wrapped in off brand tyvek.  Also I spent most of the day cleaning out one of the bedrooms upstairs of all of our stuff that belonged in a storage area, as it was for a long time our storage room as we couldn't put things in the basement...now we can!!  So, I moved everything down there so that in the next week or so when I move back with the girls they will have a room solely designated as their play room.  Sunday we finished attached the remainder of the tyvek like substance and installed our front door...I feel like I am missing something there, but I can't think of it at the moment.  This coming Friday they will start installing our new furnace and all the duct work.  The big thing I have left to do is clean the upstairs, kitchen and dining room so that we have those areas sanitary and functional so that me and the girls are able to live there again.  In theory, we probably could move back whenever, as I think the furnace is rehooked up upstairs already...so, as long as it gets cleaned soon...we should be back in business...well, atleast back in the house while the remainder of the work gets done.

What the girls are learning these days...Ari loves to share her cheerios with you...but share I mean walk over and feed them to you.  It is quite adorable, except for the fact that 90% of the time she picks one up, puts it half in her mouth and then tries to but it in your mouth.  She has also rediscovered her tongue...this comes in stages, she off and on decides to get back to the sticking it out stage.  Cordi has learned what sound an elephant makes...not sure how we learned that...but we learned it.  She also has discovered that mommy has a belly button and anytime I am laying on the floor playing with them I am promptly greeted with a baby on my belly lifting my shirt to poke at my belly button...again, not really sure where that came from, but it's there.  Ari is a walking machine...we hardly crawl anymore and she either has be carrying something or talking.  She is talking up a storm as well...not talking talking, but she for sure think she is saying things...it's more than just baby babble, it very deliberate and determined.  They both are more and more into reading books, you often times see Cordi sitting quietly talking softly turning pages...so cute.

Ari is still having night issues.  Off and on...everyone has their 2 cents as to what is causing it...but thus far nothing has stopped them.  It's tiring for everyone involved.  Thankfully when it happens on the weekends A is around to help out and do some of the cuddling...not that I mind cuddling, but it's nice to have another set of arms to carry the load.

The goal for this week...

• get another friend to look at our roof and help us think through the best way to go forward.
• finishing moving furniture and clean the upstairs
• possibly buy and install windows
• lay rubber roofing

So there you go...again I will post pics eventually.  A and I are sharing the camera at the moment, so I don't have it as often as I would like and therefore don't have things downloaded like I would like...but soon.
