So Much Going On

I have found myself with little free time lately... not a big change from the norm, but just a lot going on.  I did enjoy having an extra day off this past weekend.  I got caught up on a few things.  Then out hot water heater went out.  Of course it happened on a holiday and the part couldn't be ordered until today.  It is going to be overnighted and will be here tomorrow mid morning.  I am hoping to have hot water restored by tomorrow evening.  So for now I am heating water on the stove for bathing and washing dishes.  Good times.  That's a lot of hot water for a family of 5 to get clean.  This is when I plan one dish meals in the menu plan!

Eli is walking a lot more now.  He will be 13 months tomorrow.  I would say he is walking half the time.  It is so cute to watch him toddle around.  He is signing more and more to use the bathroom.  Such a big boy! 

Preschool has been going very well.  Enrollment for next fall is already over halfway full.  It opens to the public on March 1.  I don't think there will be many spots open.  We'll see how it all unfolds.  We are planning an elegant art show and silent auction for out yearly fundraiser.  It should be a fabulous time.  It will be a lot of work, but a fun event for everyone. 

There are lots of Doctor and Dentist appointments coming up.  Swim lessons don't start again until March 24, so that gives us a bit of a break from that. 

My parents were here over the long weekend to help celebrate Hannah's 7th birthday!  They also took the opportunity to look at houses.  Their home is on the market and they are getting ready to make the move over here. I am very excited to have them close by. 

As I said, Hannah turned 7 on the 14th!  We took cupcakes to her classroom and then in the evening she had an Almost Slumber Party.  The girls went home at 9pm.  It was a lot of fun.  Giggling everywhere!  We had pizza, cake, ice cream, games, gifts and a Barbie movie.  Everything was pink of course!  Isaac had a friend over too... just made things easier and less possibility for drama from the siblings! 

It is hard to believe that my little girl is 7 years old.  Where did these past 7 years go?  I am so proud of the person she is and the character she is developing.  She really is a beautiful girl inside and out!  I'll post birthday pictures when I get the chance!
