It's only been a week

you'd think it had been much longer than that, but I'm hearing all those asking where the updates are.  This past weekend John and the dogs visited - woo woo!  Funny how much mom claims to love Sophie until she learns that our dog is actually part kangaroo.  She got a bit frustrated with the puppy part of her, but then those big eyes look up at her and all is (almost) forgiven.  I do believe her offer of "any time you want to ship her to me" has been rescinded.  lol

Mom is very proud that we were able to go buy the cribs for the kiddos.  So, they have cribs, mattresses (probably better than my own), car seats, and two stroller options.  My sister got us a chair and ottoman, another big plus.  Now John needs to get started on cleaning out the room for all the furniture to go into.  I do not begrudge him that task at all!

Mom and I have hit two quilt stores.  She finally picked up some fireweed fabric.  We've also almost finished all the squares for the quilt top we are making.  Will probably finish that tonight, then the laying out of the squares starts.  The Lord will definitely need to help us not argue during that as we are both picky (aka perfectionists)!

John and mom did agree to dress up some and go to Simon's for dinner last Saturday.  Yummy food, especially the desserts.  Cheesecake for John/mom and lemon sorbet for me.

Today had us going to Bed, Bath and Beyond to pick up a shower seat.  Shockingly, all they had was teak - the cheapest of wood right?!  Where are those 20% off coupons you see in every magazine when you need one? 

That's about it for updates.  Mom has been taking tons of pictures, some of which surely need to be deleted.  Hopefully we'll be able to get some up on fb and here soon.
