Progress but no REAL PROGRESS...




Chris has been working like a mad man over the past few days trying to get the shower tiled. The top two pictures show the hardibacker board he installed. Our carpenter, John, completed the mudding. The installation was rather tricky as our bathroom is not so level and working around the window presented a huge challenge. It looked great. Thursday he began tiling. I am quite impressed. He is completing this project on his own with supervisory input from me. (I'm sure he'd rather do without that too, but he is taking it in stride.) He did finish putting up the whole tiles diagonally on the longest wall, but has many intricate cuts to make to finish it off. He is not looking forward to that. Hopefully he'll get the rest of the tiles up and move onto the floor. I love to see the progress. As far as my own progress....not as apparent. I am officially tired of being pregnant. I decided yesterday that she should be born 7/7/07. However, she apparently has a different idea in her mind as nothing is happening. Short of drinking cator oil, I have tried everything! We went for a walk, tried to stimluate by pumping, cleaned on my hands and knees, and tonight we are eating spicy food. I have tried it all and unless something happens quickly, I will be the first to say we have no control of when our babies arrive. For a control freak, this is a difficult concept to grasp. Hopefully I won't have to....

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
