July 19th, 2008

This past week Chase, Clayton, Michelle and myself took a trip to Niabi Zoo. Clayton would have rode the train all day, Chase on the other hand loved the animals. He particularly liked the Bears and Tigers! I promise I will post pictures soon!

Chase continues to amaze me...... we are working on batting left handed (like Tyler Howe who played for the University of Kentucky) we are very curious (every time I talk on the phone, when I hang up he asks,"Who dat?" I tell him and he responds,"Oh!") we have grown hair (Craig shaved Chase's head about a month and a half ago, and his hair is coming in very thick and bleach blonde. He has a little tan with a shitty grin.) we tell white lies (Chase had an accident yesterday and when I asked who had an accident he proceeded to tell me "Papa", and then I stated that was interesting because Papa was not around, he then tried to blame Clayton, Baby Claire, and Daddy. He never ended up confessing, we just cleaned him up and went on working at the house.)

HOUSE UPDATE: Appliances and cabinets are in..... we are measuring for countertops today. We are close, and hopefully within the next couple of weeks we will be moving!!!!

July 6th, 2008

We had a great 4th of July and hope all of you did as well. Chase really enjoyed sparklers and loved to watch the fireworks from a distance. We went to the Dewitt parade and he came home with way too much candy.....especially since he is such a sweet tooth!

As for the house, we put the last coat of "chocolate" colored paint on the living room Friday night. Yes, I said chocolate.....at first I was very concerned it was too dark, but it actually looks awesome against the white ceilings and eventually white trim. Craig has tiled the guest bathroom, and we hope to get carpet laid soon. My cabinets are not in yet, but as soon as they are we will be putting them up. We are so close and I am so ready to be done with the process. I get a daily reminder from Craig to be patient, as I want to try to get everything done in one day. He is much more realistic on the situation and knows that I need to chill out and he is not afraid to tell me so. Guess that is why he is the contractor and I am the teacher!
