We have been having a wonderful few days! It's so rare that John gets a weekend off, so when he does, we really, really enjoy ourselves. I actually feel like a normal family that goes to church and relaxes together over the weekend. Crazy! I often wonder how it will work out when our kids are older. Sporting events and other activities with the kids will be difficult. However, I have many years until I have to even think about that, so I'm not going to give it a second thought now!
Our last couple of days have been comprised of movies, Super Mario Brothers, and many silly moments with Brooke. She has been so vibrant and alert lately.She talks so much and squeals when she gets excited. I know I say this over and over again, but man, I just cannot believe how special she is to us and how very, very much we love her.
Tonight we went to Lowes to price some things for our home. As I have said before, we want to sell our house, so we have a list of things we are now working on fixing. We have three major things on our list. First of all, we want to stain our deck. I'm thinking that it's not going to be fun because it's a very large deck. However, it needs to be done and it will look so much more appealing to people. Next, we want to replace our bathtub and the wall surrounding it. John's dad is handy man who has done this before, so he has agreed to help us with that. Last, but not least, we want to seal our driveway. It was newly paved when we moved in, but they never sealed it. Weird! Other than those things, our house has new carpets, ceramic tile in the bathroom, new floors in the kitchen, fresh paint on most of the walls, and the exterior is really cute. It was perfect for us when we didn't have Brooke, but now we are just growing out of it so quickly. We are praying that God will give us His direction and show us what house to be and when to buy it. It's a HUGE decision that we obviously want to make the right way.
Well, I just put the princess to sleep, so now I am off to play my husband in Super Mario Brothers... Yet again! My only question is why he always gets to be Mario and I have to be dumb Luigi? Lol! Oh well.. Life goes on, I suppose:-)

So glad you had such a nice, relaxing weekend!! You two are just nuts with that Super Mario Brothers! I do have to admit that I'm kind of jealous :)
I can't wait to see the bathroom when it's all finished!
Selling your house is such a big task isn't?? Let us know if we can be of any help in any way because I know how it is! We also sold our house ourselves to save some money so I have all of the legal forms if you need them. Hmm...I wonder if the Lord would move you a little closer to us!?!? haha. Just picking...no pressure! :0)
To answer your question from your comment to me, my car is black!! my favorite color :0) We will have to make plans soon! We were thinking of possibly going up to the state fair some weekend? It's kind of busy but it might be fun! Let us know if you are up for it! Talk to you soon!
