(see film contest below!)
I'm back and the asbestos didn't kill us off! So I should start off by stating my inconsistent blogging nature is do to lack of time and energy and not my desire to blog! I know I said I would post all these pictures of the attic remodel and I will, but I've definitely been a bit stressed out with the new baby, the attic and my sweet husband working around the clock! Things are looking up though! Penny is so sweet. She is eating well and sleeping pretty well... about a 5-6 hour stretch. She smiles all the time and is rolling to her side. She grabs her feet and eats her fists. Her eyes are definitely blue and she is balding a bit in the back. Graham is adjusting okay. He is "The Boss" around here and depending on the day and my energy level, he visits time-out a few times a day. He loves Penny and rubs her head and says, "She is sooooo cute!" He is a great helper and brings me diapers and Penny's binky when I ask. We recently discovered he is also allergic to fish which is such a bummer. So that means he is allergic to nuts, eggs and fish. He has been swimming a lot this summer and can jump off the side and swim back to the stairs. He thinks he is awesome and so do I!
The attic is about 90% done. We still need the railing for the stairs, shelving in the closets, door hardware and the bathroom cabinet, but we are close! I'm looking at furniture and that is fun, but also a bit overwhelming. I like a lot of different styles so it is hard for me to make up my mind. But I'm enjoying the process!
Marty has been working on Turning Point... his television series all day and night lately. You can watch the pilot episode here. (If that didn't work, go to byutv.org and go under "Shows" on the second page) It is an amazing show that we are proud to be involved in. Enjoy!
I've been feeling pretty good. Last week with both of our families in town I got extra run down. I started feeling "potsy" and knew I need to calm down. (And my doctor gave me a nice lecture about how I don't bounce back like normal people) I'm doing a little better today because I have no where to go and nothing I have to do. I'm tired, but happy. So life is good, really good actually!
