Grampa's Plow Demo

Chris and I went to watch Grampa Uhlenhake in the antique tractor plow demo this morning. When we got there he was doing something with the plow. It was fun to watch him and hear him talk tractors and BS with the other old farmers.

BSing with a farmer!

Grampa is the second tractor.

Going out for another round.

Unexpected Addition

When I got home from work tonight I looked in the baby's room and noticed the valances magically appeared! Mom "broke into" the house this afternoon and put them up for us! I guess she tried to have them up yesterday, but when she tried to put them up the curtain pocket was too small. She had to rip the stitching out and make it bigger. We LOVE them! Thanks mom!

We picked up the new glider for the room last week on Friday. Chris has been practicing rocking in it! :)

School Season

I went back to work last Tuesday to begin inservices. We had open house on Thursday night. We didn't have to report on Friday, but Kaitlin and I went in so we could put all the kids' school supplies away before they start. Tomorrow will be the last day off before the kids start on Tuesday. I'm hoping for another good school year!

It's a Mystery!

Chris and I went to Franklin this afternoon for a get together at one of his co-worker's homes. We got home and I looked out the window to find these beautiful flowers. There wasn't a note, so we have no idea who left them! I think it could have been the little girls next door, but I'm not sure. They look nice on the kitchen table!

Baby Shower

This weekend Chris's family had a baby shower for us in Minnesota. His mom made this cute diaper cake for us.

I had to make sure to get a close up of the cake before we took it apart.

Completely Finished!

The bathroom is officially complete! Chris and I put up the wall transfer last night to complete everything.

Childcare for Baby Passe...Check!!

Chris and I went and met a woman last night for childcare. I talked to her in April when I was off of work and she seemed perfect for us. She and her daughter run the daycare out of her home and both have early childhood degrees. They can have no more that 8 children at once. Her daughter, Katie, is due at the beginning of Sept, so her baby and ours will be the only babies there. Her vacations work out perfect with my school schedule, so we won't have to pay for care when I'm home or find alternate care because she's on vacation! We were also really happy to find Ruth because she was one of few that didn't have state violations and that was open early enough for Chris and I to drop off and get to work. It was also an added bonus that there are two people there, so we shouldn't have to worry about her calling us that she's sick. Another thing is checked off the "baby-to-do" list.
