Mid June
Looks like it's been about a month since I posted. Here's a quick update -
I've been in training for the past week and a half, and it's been ok. Mostly learning about what other parts of the organization do.
Today I finally fixed the front of our silverware drawer, which had come off a while ago.
Yesterday
dlatimer and I decided we could "jog" to work with the girls in their jogging strollers since daycare is so close to the office. We all made it, but last night measured that is was close to 3.25 miles each way! I'm quite sore today.
We spent last weekend swimming at the Timms' pool at their condo. Amelia loves the pool! And Eloise is getting more and more comfortable in the water.
The weekend before, June 6-7, my parents came to visit and to watch the girls on Saturday while dlatimer and I went wine tasting to celebrate our 6th anniversary. We spent Saturday night up in Leesburg, and even joined the wine club at Breaux vineyards.
The weekend before that we built a sandbox with the Timms' help. It's made from two tiers of 4x4 timbers, and a rock and dirt base with a tarp cover. The girls love it! That day I made burgers on the grill, as well as grilled mini thin crust pizzas using refrigerated Indian bread, seasoned canned tomatoes and a slice of provolone. They turned out so good!
Over memorial day weekend we went to my parents' house in Ohio. We also got a chance to visit my grandmother in the nursing home. She got an impromptu song and dance performance by the girls of Mary Had A Little Lamb - Eloise "sang" and Amelia "danced". dlatimer and I also spent a day in Pittsburgh scraping the porch and painting the inside steps. Many, many thanks to mrpeck and ka3ytl There's no way we could have done so much without you!
