August 2006

August 13 -- Well...we sold the truck...and the car...So, we need to buy a vehicle for Beth. I think we're going to get an '01 Volvo. The one we're looking at is in great shape-immaculate inside and out. Hopefully, we'll get all of that taken care of this next week. It's hard to get around without a vehicle when you've got a small child.

It is so HOT. I don't even want to be outside. The yard is dead and I'm trying to keep the trees alive. There are so many things that I need to get accomplished on the house this fall. Painting the windows (or replacing them entirely), landscaping (sodding) the yard, adding a front porch, and re-roofing are the things I'm trying to pick between. Of course, cost is the major issue. It always boils down to money. Funny how that works.

Lauren weighs about 16lbs now. She is chunky--or as Beth just put it, rolley, because chunky sounds fat. She rolls over on her tummy and holds her head up really well. We've also got her sitting up by herself in the boppie. It's so amazing to see her interacting with her surroundings. She is developing so fast.

I'm so glad she has a gentle disposition. It's nice to be able to go places because she is so well-behaved. I hope she stays that way! She sleeps about 12 hours a night, which is good for mommy and daddy too.
