Here is the latest picture of our darling baby boy! Isn’t he the cutest!?  He is such a little love bug.  He loves to smile and cuddle.  His brothers and sister give him plenty of opportunity to do so!  He is slightly built, but really long.  I think he is taking after my side of  the family.  He looks a lot like his Uncle Fred.

Ben and Aaron are both on the swim team, Ivan and Naomi are both doing gymnastics, and Micah is still our little tough guy!

We are living in the basement of the house now.  We have a lot of painting to do upstairs, and most of the patch work is done.  Paul (our carpenter/drywall man) still has to do the kitchen area, but he has to wait until we get the new kitchen window in, as we are making it smaller to allow for more cabinets.  The new windows upstairs are supposed to be put in on Tuesday next week, so we will see if dh is able to get the old window out and the framing all done this weekend.  Dh is  going to try to get all of the old windows out and put down Ice and Water shield before the new windows get installed to make it much better and more sealed.

Dh, Timmy and I, are going to Seattle this week as well!  Dh has to go for work, so  his ticket and hotel are all paid, and we had a companion ticket that was just about to expire, so I get to go along for practically nothing!  I told dh that I just want to sit in the hotel room and read and sleep!  I haven’t figured out what else to do, but I am sure I can pass the time while dh is working.  Then we will have the evenings to do things together. I am looking forward to four days away.  Three kids are going to a church friends house, and two are going to visit dh’s parents.

Tonight: I’m taking Naomi to a local scrapbooking store to make a cute little paper bag craft
Friday: Swimming for older boys, a suprise birthday party to attend in Anchorage
Saturday: Dh will work on windows, I will pack everyone, and we have an NRA dinner at 6pm.
Sunday: Family breakfast (we have church in the afternoon), church, take two kids to in-laws.
Monday: Take three kids to a friend’s and we leave for Seattle, Paul textures the upstairs
Tuesday: Upstairs windows get installed, tile in the bathrooms and panty gets laid (dh is going to do the wood flooring in the rest of the house, but figured we would leave the tiling to professionals.
Wednesday: 2nd day of tiling (it’s supposed to be finished today)
Thursday: We get home late, pick up three kids, go home.
Friday: Go to in-laws to pick up other two kids, swimming for older boys, Family Fun night with church families.

Now you know why I never have time to write on my blog!  HAHA!  I have missed writing though, and am hoping to get back into a regular habit of it.  My computer is still down, but I have plenty of access to the kids computer now.

God bless, and I have hearing from everyone!
