We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Billy Steve, AKA Baby Will, Ed Jr.'s first boy cousin. He will LIKELY be born on Friday morning. We are heading over to meet him. So exciting! I will be sure to post photos.
We are also anxiously awaiting the arrival of Hank, AKA Henry Roberts. His birth day is up in the air but is eminent. Now if I can just get off my tuckus and send off his gifts. . .
Also, the house update. We pulled the plug on new home shopping. Sigh. It has sucked to be broke for the last year with my part time paycheck. Don't get me wrong, we weren't destitute, but the extra spending cash was noticeably absent. A higher mortgage payment in our new dream house would guarantee that we would be broke for a long time to come. We have decided to stay put, but to redo our minuscule kitchen to add more storage. Mikey created a drawing, I think you can check it out here. I hope I don't get into trouble for posting. Anyway, I know that it isn't going to add diddly squat to the value of our house, but if we have to live here for a few more years, SOMETHING has got to give with that effing kitchen. We are refinancing to pay for it and with the lower interest rates and no more mortgage insurance, our monthly payments are the same, so it seems like it is free money, even though I know there is no such thing.
Now, who wants to come over and help me paint our bedroom? Ed calls it a disaster.
As you can see above we ripped out the "flower garden" out front and planted sod. While having a beautiful flower garden was my dream, sod is more my reality.

I don't see where the fridge will go. Can you expand the wall facing the front? I'm confus-ed.
Looking forward to news of the boy cousin. As for Henry Evett Roberts, the Great Oppressors may just go with that LOTR theme (Fangorn Saruman Evenstar Roberts).
