Ahhhh, life

We have been chugging right along, but not doing much of anything exciting. Calvin has been working on the house (I wish I had been taking "before" pics). He got the hallway painted and is working on the trim and new baseboards next. After that we are starting on our living room...new flooring, paint, trim, baseboards, and hopefully a new front door. I told him he has til 5/27 to get this done. That is B's first birthday and I want to have it finished before her party.

Speaking of B...today she is 9 months old. She is getting more and more active and making us smile all of the time. She doesn't like to be held as much because she wants down on the floor to explore. She is pulling up and cruising along everything. She LOVES the dogs but Maggie loves her more than Max does. She is babbling about eerything but mostly everything is just "dadadadada". She only says mama when she is crying...of course. Oh, I joined a Playdate group. It's in Baytown. So far we have just met for lunch but I am hoping to get more involved this next week. I really want Bella to have some kids to play with. I have also checked into putting her in Kindermusik classes.

Calvin and I are headed out on our first real date since Bella was born. Joanna is coming over to stay the night and watch her. We are headed out for an early dinner and then going to the BBQ cookoff and the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo.

And now a few pics...
