So, we took a little trip to the Seabird Santuary out on the beach this past Friday and the kids had a blast. We met up with Zachary and Emily (Avonlea's two best buds) and the kids enjoyed looking at the birds. It was such a nice day out due to the fact that we received a lot of wind from the (almost) tropical storm that was circling us. After the sanctuary, we all went over to a nearby playground and as the kiddos were playing, us moms got some time to chat and relax.
As for the construction, let's just say that so far, I'm not impressed with American Housing Corp. They haven't gotten hardly a thing done!!! They're supposed to show up Monday for the major demo, but I'll belive it when I see it. So far, this construction project has panned out like all the remodeling shows we see on tv. Contractors are only after the almighty buck and don't care about being on time. Urgh!!! I'm sure this is just another learning experience the Lord is putting us through to see how we persevere. With every phone call I make (I've got to keep these guys in line!), I just have to remember that I represent Jesus Christ, so keep me accountable friends/family okay?
Rob won Bucs tickets through his work and we're going to the game tomorrow (mom and dad are watching the kiddos). We're very excited because we haven't been out on a date in awhile. The last "date" was drive through dinner at Chick-Fil-A and a visit to Home Depot and Lowe's looking for bathroom vanities, appliances and faucets. Don't get me wrong, we were just happy to be out alone without little ones for a night (thanks Grandma G.G.!).
Avonlea has officially moved up to the two's class at church and although she always enjoyed church before, she REALLY loves it now. We went to church tonight (since we'll be cheering on our Bucs tomorrow) and Avonlea didn't want to leave, meanwhile her brother was screaming his head off in the baby nursery (he was exhaused and is used to me rocking him to sleep which the nursery worker didn't know about).
Lincoln is 3 and 1/2 months old now, weighs 17 pounds and is really starting to bud a personality. He laughs, "talks" and smiles all the time now which is really neat. Me...I'm still trying to loose the baby weight. I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight and have been for weeks, but I'm really hoping that I can get back down to where I was before having Avonlea. Having two babies in the past two years has really done a number on me, but I'll just have to keep up with the Winsor Pilates I guess!
Avonlea's birthday is next weekend and we're very excited about it. She's having a Sesame Street birthday party complete with a pinata and pin the nose on Elmo game. It's at a nearby park (literally 3 minutes away) and I'm pumped about that seeing as I might forget something and it's only a 3-minute drive home to get something.
Oh yeah, Happy Birthday to all my cousins...Abigail, Madelynn and Isabella!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Remember to thank the Lord for all your blessings He has given you this day. We have so much to be thankful for!!!
