Not much going on around here - lazy summer days! I have been taking Quinn to the library and he loves that he can pick out videos all on his own. I then have to go back and do my browsing later or just reserve online, because he isn't patient enough to wait while I look around. I think he will get better with it once he's in school and they do the library in class. He's pretty good right now, he doesn't run around or be loud, just doesn't want to wait on me!

We always get a little 3 ring pool and set up out back so he has something to splash around in and cool off without me having to take him to the "big" pool. I set that up this morning and by the time he got home it was ready to go with warm water and all. I'm sunburned, he's sunburned and daddy gets the shade. Not really fair, but he did work all day so I'll let it slide. Maybe we will go to the pool over the weekend - they have a big slide (wide, not tall) that Quinn loves to go down and since the pool is a zero entry it's easy on all of us and we don't have to worry about him getting into too deep water.

Still waiting on the grandbaby - she's due the 22nd, but Christina has an appointment today and the Dr. said last week that if things hadn't progressed a lot further she would like to induce. I don't see why they need to do that, since the baby isn't getting "too" big - I think they should just let nature take it's own time. I mean, women have been doing this for thousands of years all by themselves right?

Finally........

Quinn finally decided it was warm enough to play with the present Santa left at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Here is a little video of him.

Up until yesterday, he wouldn't have anything to do with this car. Suddenly he wanted to drive it and he ended up going through some large puddles with it, even though Grandpa told him not to!

More Wedding

Here are some more pictures from the wedding.

Chris & Christina's Wedding

Saturday was the big day for Chris and Christina. We were worried about the forecast all week, but it turned out to be a nice "dry" day. The temps were nice, no rain and it stayed a little overcast, but overall it was about perfect! They were married in Creve Coeur Park at a shelter overlooking the lake.

Here is the bride and her girls before the wedding.

The wedding itself.

My beautiful step-daughter Miranda.

And here's one of mom and dad - neither of which wanted their picture taken!

Quinn sings at church

Here is Quinn singing at church yesterday. He had such a good time, and was practicing his song for 2 weeks - singing at the top of his lungs! Doesn't he look handsome in his suit and tie?

Bathroom Progress

We have been working on our bathroom for awhile now (I'm too embarrassed to say how long it actually is), and I finally feel like we are making some progress. We completely gutted the thing down to bare studs and sub floor so we had a lot of work to get it back usable.

Needless to say, it's not done yet, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! The walls are up, taped, mudded, sanded and primed (sealed) and all they need is the real color and that's done. The tub/shower is in and working (has been for awhile) and all it needs is the new shower head on. Then we need the tile floor , medicine cabinet, vanity and toilet and we will be fully functional and done. With that bathroom - then we need to start the other one.

But, I've decided not to start that project until Quinn starts kindergarten in July. It's much easier to get things done when he isn't here! So, here are some pictures of our progress.

This is what the tub walls looked like before. That's tape over a hole in the wall behind Quinn's head.

Bare studs and floor, but the tub is in and insulation is up.

Different view.

Drywall up, taped, mudded and sanded.

Primer on the walls, finally!

New Camera

Not much going on around here these days, except the ordinary stuff. Our bathroom is ready to paint - all I need is some time alone to get it done. I will have to put on a primer coat and then the color plus seal the ceiling and paint it also.

I finally got my new camera and took a few pictures today, so that is what you will see. This one takes much better pictures than my old one, and it takes more with longer battery life!

Quinn will sing in church on Easter and grandma got him a new suit, shirt and tie just for the occasion. He couldn't stand it, so I let him wear the dress shirt and tie last Sunday to church.

Lola doing what she does best - sleep!

A baby afghan I'm working on right now.

Lola likes to think the baby afghan is hers.
