What we've been up to

I tried to take some pictures of Mallory before church last Sunday because I thought she looked SO pretty.  She was having a good hair day...perfect little waves :)  I'm jealous of her wavy hair since mine is stick straight.  However, as usual, she was NOT into having her picture made.  I never could get her to look at the camera to get a decent pic so the following is the best I could do.  Loved her little dress too!

 Sunday was also Grandma Jean's 77th birthday.  Mom & Dad cooked dinner - BBQ chicken, squash, onions, zucchini, peppers and asparagus (all cooked on the grill), broccoli casserole, new potatoes, rolls and Italian cream cake for dessert.  It was all SO good!!

This woman though is the BEST cook ever in my opinion.  Next time she cooks fried chicken, she is supposed to be calling me so I can go & (hopefully) learn from her.  Once I master that, I need to learn her biscuits.

The work week has been CRAZY.  Bunco was Monday night, so that was a late night and then last night and tonight we have met with Jamie to go over house stuff.  There is so much going on right now with the house.  The electricians and plumbers finished today.  Heating and AC will be finished tomorrow and shingles will be starting tomorrow or Friday.  After an inspection, sheet rock will start next week.  We picked out all plumbing fixtures yesterday.  I went with all oil rubbed bronze...love it.  Today, we finalized shingle color and shutter color and got the go ahead to pick out appliances.  Don't get me wrong, I wanted this house to go up fast, but I feel like it is FLYING!  Every little decision is stressful and Jamie has already told me that I'm over-thinking everything, but it's such a big deal to me...I don't want to mess anything up!
