Catching Up

Ok, so I have been terrible about posting lately. We've had this little pesky problem come up, namely, well, pests. Yep, we have mice all of a sudden. They came with the house and apparently we will have to deal with them this time every year, as they seek out warmth. Yuk. You can imagine how my germaphobic brain is short circuiting at this point when I find mouse droppings up in my attic, on my window sills, etc. I sort of want to cry and move out until this whole problem is gone. We had an exterminator out yesterday, but when I called the health dept. about how to clean up after mice, they informed me that we have to seal up any hole that's as a big as a dime in our house. I had to laugh out loud - and you would know why if you have ever been to our house. So, Colin and I will spend the day (well, Colin will be doing the bleachy clean up because I am a bit too pregnant to be dealing with chemical and mouse poop) cleaning and putting our foodstuff in sealed containers. Fun for us! Anyway, here are a couple of random photos from the last couple of weeks. This was amazing to me - that Jude would fall asleep anywhere but his crib. He slept while my grandma swung him. It was such a sweet sight.

Here's Erin and Barb at the beach last weekend. One of these years I won't be pregnant and will actually get to go into the hot tub.

Samuel wanted me to take this picture of him yesterday "working". He took my clothes drying racks and pretended to saw them and put a roof on.

Speaking of roofing, I will have to post pictures soon of our garage. It's coming along nicely.
