So for the past few months life has been busy, crazy and fun. We are chipping away at house work. Mark is just about finished the floor in the basement. That makes all the flooring in the house done, except the kitchen, which we are re-doing in the spring and the upstairs hallway which just needs to be re-situated >>? Evie just got over he first stomach virus. That was really tough for me. Asa had the same thing a few days before. She has mastered the army crawl and can crawl "for real" for short periods of time. She's getting really big too at 6 months she's 16.14 lbs(50-75%) and 27.25 inches(90-95%) tall.
I am so glad the election is over. No more hoping or caring. Now we know and don't need to discuss anything anymore. I didn't vote for Obama but I am at peace with him being our president. God is ultimately in charge anyway. I voted for a Libertarian who I thought would be an excellent choice for Auditor General, but he didn't even come close. I blame that on ignorance more than anything. I think a lot of people vote straight party because they haven't researched the candidates. I am actually guilty of this in the past. Enough of the political talk though!
I still haven't hung anything on the walls yet. Evie's room no longer has a lamp either( i knocked it over and broke the glass) We are still kinda camping, but really settled in as well. I want to get a sectional for my basement and two bookshelves. There is a built in book shelf down there and I want to turn it into a office space, like a built in computer desk and my files can go above it in the shelves. It will be very streamlined and space conscious. I am excited about that. My brother came over and helped us put the light up in the powder room. Now all we have to do to that room is patch the drywall, sand and paint. The flooring in that room will be replaced with the kitchen floor.
We had Empire Today come and put our carpet on the stairs. They did it as quickly as the ads say and at a better price then a local carpet store with remnants, I was impressed!
Our family had some fun outings as the pictures suggest below. Last weekend we went to Strasburg Railroad for FREE!! We got tickets from a friend and some more from my mom and some other tickets for the Choo Choo barn. It was a perfect day for the trip and maybe we can make it an annual event.
The week before that we went to Highland Orchards and also had a great time. I bought this hummus called Bobbi's, I have to say I think it's the best I've ever had! They also had milk there with re-useable bottles. I wish my local stores sold milk like that. I wish we never stopped being so less wasteful like in the past. Everything is about convenience now--but I believe that really comes at a bigger price!
My township just upped their recyling program and will now take plastic #'s 1-7 and all kinds of papers and cardboards and even empty tin cans and aerosol cans plus all the regular stuff like glass and aluminum. Last week we had only two kitchen bags full of trash to throw out. I was so proud :) That is definitely my new goal to have 2 or less bags of trash a week.
Tyler had his hair dyed for the Phillies if you are wondering from the pictures. He got to go to the parade too. Sounded like a lot of fun! Very excited about the phillies. But I am kinda a bad fan who only watches them when they hit the World Series. Oh well!
Thats All for now!
