Happy Birthday Chris.

Chris and I had a fantastic weekend. The boys had four games between them and they won all of them. Yeah. A friend of ours had all three boys over for a sleepover. Chris and I went to the movies, woke up, made breakfast and played a little Tiger Woods golf before picking up the boys. Chris worked on the permit set of the house while the boys played baseball. All in all it was a nice weekend.

When its my bday, I always write my favorite things. I thought I could do the same for Chris.

1. He is a the best kind of Man.

Furniture

Oh, what a day we had yesteday. We woke up early to get out of the way of the contractor. We took the boys for pancakes and then begin one heck of a day of shopping. We ordered our tables/chairs and our bedroom furniture. We then went and picked out a couch and chairs. Chris's "chair is on order as is our table, chairs and bedroom furniture. They should arrive in 6-8 weeks. (well some of it will be longer). I am excited about what we have now. I still need end tables and a few odds and ends here and there. After furniture shopping, Jonah had a practice, then we desperately needed groceries. We came home piled on the couch and watched a movie. Chris and I fell asleep almost immediately.
I am not sure what is on the agenda today, I don't think I can handle two shopping days in a row. However, I do need to start replacing blenders, toasters, waffle iron etc. etc. I think I will wait til next week. Afterall, if I have a waffle iron, the boys will make me make them waffles. I am just too tired. Hope you enjoy the pics.

The move home went well. Several people from the library came over to help. They were Fantastic. After church we had another three families stop by to carry things from one house to the other. Chris's parents came up for the weekend. They went shopping and ran errands with Chris while I worked. We had a lovely dinner out and then they helped us move on Sunday. My goodness we got a lot done and a tone of friends to help. It was great.

The piano was delivered today. Chris and Christian went right to playing some tunes together. After about 20 min or so, I recorded this. The piano is beautiful and the boys are so thrilled to have it back. Once it came, it felt like we were home again. Max's room is super cool. Its like a little bachelor pad, it cracks me up. Christian and Jonah are happy in their new Husky bedroom. I was unsure about the colors but they are growing on me.

I am thrilled to be home and looking forward to a couple days off from work. Chris took the week off to spend with the boys over spring break. I have to work most of it but it is nice having him home. Things are definately getting back to normal and I love it.
