Family Update


Hey all! It's been a while since I visited the blog, sorry! We are doing well in our house. The basement working is coming SLOWLY but surely. The major hurdle will be getting the egress window in. The electrical has been *almost* done for several weeks now. At least the insulation, etc has been moved in the basement so Joseph can start putting it in soon! I told he has until the end of October to get it done and he thinks he can do it. I wish I could believe that! ;) Although I do think he can have everything done except the bathroom by then, so at least I could start decorating, etc.

Baby and I are doing fine too. This little one was very lazy for two weeks, to the point I was worried one day because I hadn't felt him/her move for a while so I had things checked out. As soon as the monitors were strapped on the baby started kicking them... stinker... could have saved us a trip by doing that earlier! Haha! I guess the last three or four days baby found a new place to hang out because he/she has been moving like crazy again. Yesterday I decided he/she was doing the chicken dance! I felt an elbow going up and down, up and down my side and then something bigger would push on that side, like its bum. (Do the chicken dance once and you'll understand what I mean!) I think I've registered for everything we need/want and am finalizing a shower invite list. Should be fun!

My job is going all right. I was constantly butting heads with one agent to the point I was job searching (and I really need a bigger paycheck when daycare expense kicks in). Unfortunately he passed away about two weeks ago so things have been a bit different around here. I never wanted that to be the way we stopped working together... so I did feel a bit guilty (and completely shocked) when I heard the news. Actually, this is the agent that showed Tim & Ilene around Grand Forks when they were looking at moving here. He was great with customers and other agents, but for whatever reason he and I just didn't get along.

Joseph's job is going the same as usual... he's the only surveyor and they keep him very busy! He is currently out of town for a few days.

I thought you may like to see my latest picture, taken Friday the 21st. I am FAR too amused by my outtie. HAHA!

Oh goodness! Even after proofing my entry twice I still have major errors. One would think I can't speak good! ;) Haha! Sorry about that!

Catherine, you look marvelous! Where are you registered? I want to get a gift for the baby soon. I'm glad both of you are doing well. Time goes by so fast. Soon there will be a new little bundle of joy to bless your lives.
Take care, love Aunt Karen

Good luck on the basement, I'm sure theis will bea great learning experience. As for the baby, looks like he/she will be the life of the party! Afterall he/she is able to do the chicken dance before being born. Take care, love you two -- Eric.
