Well the kitchen remodel is coming along. We now have all appliances hooked up and running. Wait...the dishwasher isn't hooked up but who cares? At least I have a sink to wash the dishes in, I know longer have to bend over the side of the bathtub to wash a pan. And I finally have an oven and stove. We are going to get so fat with all the cooking I have been doing. Derek probably wishes he had done something sooner. I am sure the newness will wear off soon and there won't be so many home-cooked meals but for now I am loving it. I will have to post pics soon. We don't have the floor in and there are still about 12 cabinet doors that need to be installed. These are things I can live without. When you go for nearly 3 years without an oven a floor is least of your problems.
Denver is playing soccer. He really likes it. It is so much fun to watch them. You all know I tend to get a little competitive so this is teaching me a serious lesson. I don't think we have won a game yet. We had a tie score last week so that is good. Denver scored 3 goals, that's not to say he didn't have help from other members of the team but he was the one that got to kick it in the goal. I wish I had pics to post of that but my camera is out in the car.
Averi fell last Sunday after church and I guess it's the first time she has been really hurt. She scraped both of her knees pretty badly. She cried for about 2 hours after the fall. She would finally calm down then the minute she looked at her knees she remembered she was hurt and the tears would come again. She was still milking it at 9:00 that night. It was so funny to watch her walk. She kept her knees bent and her bottom sticking out. She looked just like a little old granny with poor posture. I am sure this is God's way of making me more patient. I finally told her she was just going to have to shake it off. Is this something moms should say to their daughters? Probably not.
Hope all is well with everyone. Maybe some pictures will accompany the next post.
All the members of our team are very competitive and do the very best we can when in a competition. However, one runner stands out above the rest. You see LeeAnn and I bowing down to him and his 36 minute 6.5 mile run. It was fun and now I have to prepare myself for the whole marathon in December. Yippee!!!
