New Carpet

Just love this picture . . . .Drew is checking out our new carpet!
New carpet was installed on Tuesday. By midnight Monday night, we finally had all of the furniture moved out of the living room and master bedroom. I love the room with out all of the clutter, therefore we have not moved everything back in yet. Drew just didn't know what to think. He took off crawling everywhere.

God's Artwork

Wow, another beautiful evening! It stormed a little bit this early evening and we got a good rain. After things settled down there was a rainbow right in front of the house. You could actually see both ends of it and follow it all the way around. I was out on the front porch taking pictures of it and Richard hollered at me to look out the back. So I ran around back and snapped this picture. I wish I had been a little earlier and been in a better spot. But it was gorgeous outside, such a bright orange!

I have had a wonderful Saturday. Kayla called this morning and wanted to know if I wanted to go to Springfield with her. She needed to go to State Beauty Supply. I rode along. We ate lunch at the Olive Garden and little Drew was so good. He really is such a good baby. She has wanted to start scrapbooking so we stopped at Scrapbook Generations and Hobby Lobby. We bought some paper and started on it as soon as we got home.

Quite Time

Finally it's Friday. I have waited for Friday since Monday! This has been a hard week. Brian took Hannah out tonight. Richard hasn't made it home yet. We are going to go to Branson after while and eat supper.

My house is so quite. I remember when I longed for some quite time or just an hour or so by myself. With three small children those times were very rare. And now there are so many things I miss. . . . . .

I miss our supper meals together.
I miss softball and basketball games.
I miss just talking to my girls.
I miss hearing about their days.
I miss hearing "Mom"
In a weird way, I miss the busyness of having kids in the house.

I can't wait until Drew is running around here and has some brothers or sisters or cousins to join him!

Summer Day

Here is a picture of my Mom and Dad's hay meadow. This is from their back yard. Again, it is so pretty.
Here is Richard and my dad, discussing things.

That is a good looking bale of hay! Brian loves this job!

And here are a couple of pictures of the sunset tonight! It was an amazing beautiful evening. It rained a little bit when I got home , then cleared off and was, again, beautiful.

Sick

I am sick and have been for the past couple of days. Really bad sore throat, now a stuffy and runny nose, how can that be! Boo :(

I so wish I had daily updates to post about Drew. And pictures of just everyday stuff. I really wanted this to be about his first year of life. Oh well, doing the best I can.

Richard and Brian started cutting dad's hay yesterday. They have a lot of hay down right now. Richard and I went down there this afternoon when I got home for work. My dad has such a pretty place. He has poured his life into that farm and it shows. It is beautiful! I will post pictures later.
