I can see by my blog stats that there are some faithful folks out there who continue to check back despite the record stream of inactivity. And for that I say, “Wow, you must be really bored.” No, seriously, thank you for checking back. And my apologies for my blogging slackerness. So – we have had a few glasses of wine on our newly furnished back patio………..and here is a mini update.
We FINALLY bit the bullet and upgraded the back patio furniture several steps above the plastic green chairs that Randy has toted along with us since his townhouse on Glebe Road in Arlington…….pictures will be posted soon.
Randy spotted a rat investigating our garbage. How lovely.
Kristen (Randy’s sister) has been staying with us since mid-may when she graduated from Clemson. Today she officially moved into her new apartment in Smyrna/Vinings and we already miss her terribly. There are few people that could crash at our small house for multiple weeks and not drive us insane………she is one of those rare birds.
Nate is growing like a weed. He is rolling over in both directions, eating cereal, loving Fatsby, laughing, and greeting us every morning with a huge smile. We continue to be amazed that the two of us produced such an easy going baby and are grateful for every day. He truly is a Joy.
Randy’s Mom gave him a webcam for his birthday. We somehow managed to get it up and running and have had three successful video chats with her. So if any of you out there have a skype account and want to give us a ring………feel free!
We have lost all control over Chops. He INSISTS on sleeping on the kitchen island and I am tired of shoving him off of it. The other day he jumped up 4 times in the same minute after being pushed off / scolded each time. He is one persistent cat and can usually be found sleeping on the island or in Nate’s high chair. We give up.
If you haven’t already checked out the Robert Plant / Allison Krauss CD – give it a listen. Four thumbs up from this household.
I’m still reading! Got your announcement in the mail the other day! VERY cute! Thanks for sending it on!
Loved the update…sounds like things are going well for you guys!!
Still reading too-must say glad to see the update and I don’t have to read about my visit from April anymore. Enjoying the new pictures too!
P.S. I want a Fatsby too!
Okay, so I am checking it too – but only because GPO added it to my favorites and I know how to get to it!! We are having a terrible time with Woody – he thinks he can sleep in the middle of the kitchen table (just like Chops and the island). I try swatting him off but he continues to come back – I don’t think he is afraid of me!!!
