Progress

Progress because we now have a sidewalk in front of our house.  However we still cannot get in our driveway.  Next Friday they will pour the driveway! :D  Oh can you tell that it is raining again!

When??

When will we be able to use our driveway?  When will we have our new sidewalk?  The answer to these questions still cannot be answered.  Although we are excited about the new driveway and we are happy that we haven't had to use our air conditioner yet . . .When the skies stop looking like this our driveway and sidewalk can be poured.  Then we won't have to have our cars parked everywhere but in our driveway!  One thing I love, love, love about the rain is that the flowers are so beautiful even if there is a lot of weeds!

Empty House

Our house is empty and lonely this week!  McKenzie is at Girl's Camp, Austin is working, and sadly, very sadly Erik has returned home to Sweden.  We will miss him a lot!  I am sure he is happy to be home but we wish he could have stayed or that he lived closer.  Robbie told him to tell his dad to move here!  Hopefully we will visit Sweden soon and he will have the opportunity to visit here again!

Forty, flirty, flakey??, fabulous!

So I turned forty today!  Whew I made it.  My friend saw this picture this week and he commented about how much James has changed but that I look exactly the same!  Minus the big hair, I think he is right!  I sure look twenty, right?  Maybe but I am grateful for all the things I have learned and been blessed with in the twenty years since this picture!
