When will he be here?


I think tomorrow is Tatiana's due date. Will Cruz come when they predict or will he be late? Can't wait to see what he looks like!

Redoing Nik's backyard!!

 
Friday Nik and I decided to put in sod in her backyard. Great Idea!! We had no idea how hard it was going to be. I will never wonder why alot of the housing has no grass. Their dirt is cement. It was like digging in set clay. We almost gave up a couple of times but perservered and the result is a nice little plot of grass. It took us about 6 hours and some help from Dad when he got off work, two trips to the sod farm, a couple limeaides from Sonic, lot's of water, a phone call from Bill, lemonaide from Sarah and Mia, encouragement from Nik with the words " a little at a time and we'll get it done."

Happy New Year!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas...missed those that weren't here and missed the snow but had a great time. Spent New Year's Eve at Nikki's playing Wii..... It has been a relaxing holiday and now I suppose time to move on with the New Year. The older I get the more I just want to hang on to the old year. I'm just not into change as much as I used to be. Hopefully dad will find a new job this year. Keep him in your prayers.
