Not Much Yet

So far Leland and I haven't really been doing much, mostly helping with gardening chores and the occasional 40 minute drive down the mountain into civilization. On Saturday I picked peaches and mushed some up for Leland then Mom and I made peach cobbler, yesterday we made banana bread. I'm going to need some serious exercise or I'll be gaining some pounds with all these treats! Tomorrow we will be taking that trip down the mountain again to pick up my Dads tux for my brothers wedding and I will get a few things in preparation as well.
Dave and Caleb are in Chicago until the 28th(the day of the wedding). Dave calls me everyday to tell me how Caleb is doing, most of the time he is good but wants to get into things like most 3 year olds. I try to talk to him on the phone but I don't get a lot out of him, maybe just a "hi" and a couple "yes" or "no" answers. I wonder what he will do when he sees me at the wedding???
Leland is doing a little better with sleeping. Today was the longest he slept, close to 12 hours. I will probably have lots more to tell after the wedding and when we actually venture out more and maybe go to Sea World or the beach!
Love you all!

Our First Day In California

Our fight was good, Leland did very well on the plane. He got a little fussy on our two hour drive to my parents house but he feel asleep for part of it. I put him to bed about 9pm California time but this morning he was still stuck to his normal schedule eastern time and woke up at FIVE. My Dad got him out of bed so there was no chance of getting him back to sleep. Hopefully I can get him to adjust to a new time zone in the next couple days.
We haven't done much yet, just hanging around the house but it is fun here. There are lots of peach trees on my parents property, apple tree and fig tree that need picking a huge garden to weed (I offered to do this chore since my Mom can't really get down on her knees too long). I'm not sure when or if I will be able to put any pictures on here since his computer neither has the software or any other way to put pictures from my camera to the computer. I will keep you all up to date on our house selling or any other adventures we may have.

The Painting is Done... On The Inside Anyway

Finally we are done with most of the painting, Dave will have to do the deck and porch himself while I am gone but those should be fairly easy. Tomorrow the house goes on the market so we are doing a little more packing and cleaning.

Okay, okay its a little bright but its a small bathroom that gets no natural sunlight so it needs some cheeriness to it.


The upstairs bathroom. Very neutral!

Sleepy Eyes

A few days ago I was busy upstairs with something while Dave was feeding Leland breakfast. I hear some crying for a minute or two then silence. Turns out Leland was really tired and feel asleep after eating.

So precious


Hey dude why are you waking me up?


Back to sleep again.


A little blurry but stunning blue eyes.

Getting There

Yesterday Dave took the day off so we could get the kitchen finished. We are pleased with the outcome and are bummed that we didn't paint in here a long time ago, now it looks so nice and someone else will enjoy it instead of us. I'm okay with that though if it will get the house to sell faster.


No more ugly maroon, so much better!


It looks so much bigger with out everything in it.


Oh, check out the sunflowers on the table straight
from the backyard.
