Hello....Hello

Just in case anyone is out there still...I think it is safe to say that I've been on a blogging hiatus.  So much has happened in the last 2 years, I don't even know where to begin.

Doug and I just celebrated our 17th anniversary.  We went out last the evening with strict orders from Miranda to not return until 10 pm.  She assured us that she would get the younger boys in bed.  Of course, she did as promised and even got them to bed early.

As we were out and about, we laughed at all the crazy looks I received.  You'd think that pregnant women are an endangered species around here.  Perhaps they were afraid that I would deliver right then and there.  I took a trip to the ladies room, where there was a full length mirror and realized that I do indeed look HUGE!
No wonder people were staring.

We have been keeping ourselves very busy for the past month with a kitchen redo.  We ripped out the original 60's era cabinets along with the soffits so that we could put in taller cabinets.  What a mess!  The soffits had served as a highway to a thriving community of small rodents over the years.  Demolition is always an exciting chore.  The project is not completely finished, but we're getting there.  I'm just glad to have a sink and countertop again.  Hauling hot water to my outside sink wasn't my favorite chore.  Indoor plumbing is a blessed thing.  Thank goodness I didn't live a 100 years ago.

Pictures to be posted later.  I might have to take a refresher course on how to download pics.

All the dirt is driving me to insanity.

My children love, love, LOVE the dirt.

Tomorrow it won't bother me.

It keeps them busy.

It keeps them happy.

(Nothing has changed in 2 years...they still love dirt)
