Long Time No Blog

Summer always seems to keep us busy over here. Work has been crazy busy but I like it that way and it is making the last few weeks of this pregnancy go by quickly. The heat has been a bit of a pain for me this time around (I don't seem to remember myself being so hot all the time with Emily) but at least we have central air. Greg has been working non-stop, either at work or at home. Emily's new bedroom (gotta make way for baby) is coming along great. Greg ripped out the wood paneling, re-insulated, put up new vapour barrier, drywalled, painted and the carpet got put in this morning. It's looking really nice and all that is left is the ceiling, some electrical work, the baseboards and trim and some shelving in the closet. I'll post pictures of that once its all done (before and after).

And now, here are some random pictures...

Apparantly this is what happens when you are pregnant and hungry!

Are You Ready To Have A Baby?

The Mess Test:
Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Now rub your hands in the wet flower bed and rub on the walls. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer. Obtain a 55 gallon box of Legos (if Legos are not available, you may substitute roofing tacks or broken bottles). Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream (this could wake a child at night).

The Grocery Store Test:
Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop at the grocery store. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.

The Dressing Test:
Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net bag making sure that all arms and legs stay inside.

The Feeding Test:
Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a stout cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal (such as Fruit Loops or Cheerios) into the mouth of the jug while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.
