Prayer

I'm saying a few of these this week :-)
I think if I am being honest I will admit I don't always embrace change in the way that I should. Change can be a very good thing, but also can be a little nerve-wracking. That being said, it is a very necessary thing unless you want to become stagnant in your life. I don't want to be that person who doesn't make changes because I am nervous/scared.
August should be a busy and interesting month for us. So far July is going pretty well- we got our lawn in, yippee!! We thought about seeding it ourselves, and then said to HECK WITH THAT, and got it hydroseeded. Muuucchh better; one hour as opposed to all day in terms of hours put in. NEVER AGAIN am I moving into a house which needs the entire yard torn out/replaced! Thank goodness the house is new and nice. I can't believe how much money we have spent just on dirt and animal manure- like, over a grand for sure. Total landscaping, a few grand EASY. Probably more. And it doesn't even look like we've done all that much! Bummer. But it is coming along...slowly. What is funny is that a lot of the people we've had do things on the house, like the inspector and hydroseeder for example, have been firefighters! As we know I'm a softie for firefighters and medics, kinda funny the coincidence there.
The girls are doing well, although Aili's going through a sassy/talking-back phase. And she thinks that Andie is HER baby. She dresses her up, tries to change her diaper, lugs her around the house...yeah, pretty much drives Jeff and I (and Andie!) crazy. Andie's a small baby. At 9 months, her weight is 5% (about 15.5 lbs), head circ 65%, height 55%. Funny for a kiddo who was quite large at birth! She is a delicate-looking girl. Oh well, makes her easier to lug around!
So here's hoping that the rest of the month can ride out without too many more changes- we have some fun stuff planned coming up, a camping trip or two, California, and Hawaii! Yea for vacations :-)
