a little person...

What we've been up to...

Both Tom and I joined a Bible Study group...my ladies Bible study meets on Tuesday nights and is studying Philipians. It is a Kay Arthur study and I am really enjoying digging into the Word in this way again. Tom's men's group meets on Mondays and he is also enjoying getting to know some of the men in our church a little bit better.

Kira is continuing to grow up too fast! She is a little ham and she knows how to "pose" for the camera when we tell her to "say cheese" she always obliges with some funny face!

Bath time fun!
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In other news, I took a little break from completing my project in the basement to work outside while the weather still allows it. Mom and Dad came over on Tuesday and helped me get started by edging out the front garden. Mom and I will be going to get a pretty flowering tree to put on the front corner of the house so I hope to put some pics up soon to show you what's going on there. This is truly a learn as I go process b/c I really know nothing about gardening but I am getting lots of good advice and encouragement from my folks so that helps me get motivated about it!

More of the basement...almost done!

No pics this time around but yesterday I painted another section of the unfinished side so now I have completed 2 out of 3 sections! Whohoo, almost done! I'll post a pic when I am completely finished.

Other than that, things have been semi-quiet here lately. Just puttering away on little projects with the house. Dad came over recently and finished the shelving for the hall closet so I was able to fill that up with my extra towels, linens and toiletries. Tom and I also worked on organizing what we call "the great room" in the basement on Sunday. It is at a good point now where we are both pleased with how it looks. No more cluttered unpacked boxes, everything has a place now and things that could go in storage were moved into the attic. Once I finish painting the floor on the unfinished side of the basement, our next big project will be the great room. We already talking about some ideas for that room and it is kind of fun to think about what it could be with a little TLC.

Had homecoming weekend at PBU over the weekend and got to see some friends I hadn't seen in a while.
