primsong: (penguin question)
Wow, what a year amiright? I was stuck in my old house until September with my hubby holed up in the new house because he wanted to isolate while he worked on it and on his online job. This was okay, actually, if frustrating for me as I fretted over the new house's yard getting overgrown and whined about not getting to see the spring or summer flowers so I still don't really know what this yard has in it. BUT I was with my daughter and son-in-law in the old house which also needed work, and got to be there for her through her Expectation, as we are expecting a wee one in just a couple weeks here.

In Sept my hubby decided to head back to our little condo in CA to continue his hermitage so I was finally able to move furniture in and be Home. For about a week. Then our state caught fire and I had to go back to the old house which had a functional climate system unlike the unfinished new one. A couple weeks later, I could finally return so I've really only been "Home" for 2 months though we bought the house over a year ago.

Got a lot of work done on it in that time, and there's more in progress (the saga of the bathroom floor, the epic tale of the woeful furnace ducting, the gripping tale of the bedroom ceiling...)

And now we find they may induce my daughter a little early (still very close to due though, so not preemie time) meaning I am lurching into Grand level life very soon indeed. Next weekend, if all goes as planned (or as planned as such things can be). Time to roll up my sleeves and help a clueless young couple figure out which way is up on a baby!

Hope all is well with everyone out there, I've barely been online so I feel like I've lost track of a lot of you, bless you all.

Found out a young lady who lived with us for some time so she could finish High School and who then met a wonderful fellow and married him a couple years ago has now just brought a wee little boy into the world.  Yay yay yay... we all feel like honorary relatives, aunties and uncles or something here, welcome to the world little Gavin.

They had a great idea for their baby shower, btw, a diaper raffle where people got a ticket for every 25 diapers they brought with drawings for things like movie tickets and starbucks cards.  They have a LOT of diapers and are well stocked. Love it.

Icarus posted a little while ago now that he was at the hospital and Rosie was bringing Baby #8 into this beautiful world... Hoping all is well, and everyone is healthy.

Anyone ever planted a porcelain vine? I was captured by their beauty this past fall and finally brought one home to plant today - little tag says they can reach up to 12 feet! I'm eyeballing my 6-foot fence I was going to put it along and wondering if it will overwhelm it.

Looks like the baby shower we had here was just in the nick of time - My friend wasn't due til the 21st, but we got the phone call today that she had her little girl, Carolyn, at 4 am this morning! We went to the hospital to see her, such a beautiful little girl with lots of babyfine hair. She was a "surprise" baby, but you know, many of the best people I've ever met were all "surprises" to their parents, special deliveries from God.

Little hands and feet soooo teeny! You forget how little they really are when they are so new.
