Lately

On Friday we had a sprinkler system put in in hopes of saving our quickly dying yard. Sullivan's did a great job. This is what the front yard looked like in the middle of the process, but without a sign in the front yard, you'd never know once they were finished. It rained the 3 days before the installation and even with water restrictions we are allowed to water due to the work. You should see our yard now. There's actually some green in places we never thought we'd see grass. So hopefully we got this done just in time. The point was to spend the money now and then not have to put the system in in the spring PLUS new sod.

Not sure if you can see, but Connor has the dust buster in his hand. He loves this thing. He calls it "Nean, nean, nean" or "Clean, clean, clean" and loves to have it run. Unfortunately most of the time when I need it, it has no power left because he plays with it daily.

We had pancakes and eggs for dinner last night. He ate two pancakes and all his eggs using the utensils from his new kitchen. Whatever...at least he ate!

I just found him like this a few minutes ago. All his clothes just came out of the laundry and weren't in his drawers yet so that explains the naked, but this new face is another thing. Each time I get out the camera he makes this face. He used to do so well and just smile, but now he makes this silly face and then screams for the camera because he wants to see. Silly boy!

So I try to get him to say something else to get a normal picture.

Right this minute he is being stalked by the dogs. He's got a bowl of goldfish in his shopping cart that he's pushing around and they're following waiting for him to drop some or leave it unattended. No wonder the kid is losing weight and the dogs are gaining weight...he has to fight them for every snack. Don't feel too sorry for him though, he's learned to chase Sophie with a variety of objects that she's afraid of. It makes all of us laugh...except Sophie!

Evan is growing larger every day. Only 3 more weeks and he'll be here. Not sure if I'll make it though. I had a rough night last night. He decided to crawl up and sit on my ribs. It's pretty painful. He should be 7 lbs by the end of this week! I'm going to have to take all the 0-3 month clothes out of his dresser and put 3-6 month clothes in instead!
