WEEKEND WORK


           

Amanda and I went to Church Sunday. There was hardly anyone there....I think it may have been 14 people. I told the preacher that I decide to come to church and the others stay away!  He said he noticed that too! lol ( I hope he was joking! ;)

She has been having trouble sleeping lately, so she got up early Sunday morning and crawled into my bed with me....like old times when she was a little girl and couldn't sleep. She use to have nightmares every once in a while and would could running and leap into the bed with me and Danny...wiggling like a little worm until she got in between the middle of us! lol That was her "safe spot"!

Amanda has been having a lot of trouble with carpal tunnel (SP?) lately. Both her hands and wrists ache really bad. Her OBGYN says it is natural for pregnant women.....but I swear I do not remember having it. But then, maybe that is something I chose to forget! She goes back to the doctor tomorrow.

After Church, we painted  some of the rooms of the house that they are going to move into. We got  the baby's room and the living room painted with two coats each and now have to trim them out. Kelvin stippled (sp?) the ceilings and they look so nice! He and his dad did them while Amanda and I were at Church.

     

                  living room

His mom and dad have really worked hard helping to fix the house up...His mama came over while Amanda  and I were at work and helped Kelvin all day one Saturday....She is a very hard worker and I believe she can outwork most men! She also  helped us paint the underside of the house and the porch.

         

    the nursery...it will have baby looney tunes border, etc.

Kelvin gets his skills from his dad, who is an excellent carpenter by trade. His Dad even got on the roof with Kelvin helping to replace the shingles and re-placing several parts of the roof. The house had leaks in every room ....so they also had to replace the ceiling sheet rock and re-sand  it and also some of the walls inside. It is a lot more work than we ever imagined...seems like a house just dies when no one lives in it...We are keeping our fingers crossed that everything is ready before little Wyatt gets here. They still have to get a queen size mattress set and living room furniture...not to mention a crib etc!

         

My rhododendron finally bloomed! I have had it since before Danny died and it would not bloom though it would have leaves on it...So I was so surprised and happy to see some blooms on it this morning! It had been so long that I had forgotten what color it was! (white) lol

Whew! This was a long entry....

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
