Happy Easter

A huge mess and a baby shower

This past week has been a complete mess. It started out last week clearing the dining room and popping up the old hardwood floors. I lived with every type of rug and towel covering the plywood so Jackson would not get a huge splinter in his foot. Next came clearing everything from our bedroom and den. Who knew I had so much "stuff" aka "junk"? Next Michael and his dad ripped out all of the carpet. Lucky for me I got to pull down wallpaper which believe it or not I actually loved doing! In the middle of all of this we notice our dishwasher was leaking and it has ruined our kitchen floor. Fun, Fun, Fun! Now we have to deal with the insurance company as well as pick out new tile for the kitchen.

Jackson has had an absolute blast during all of this. He is getting spoiled ROTTEN by Boom and Pops - Michael's parents. We have moved in with them until our house is repaired! Thank goodness for parents! They have let us stay with them, washed our clothes and fed us! Heck- after all of this we may not want to move back home!

This past Saturday we had a baby shower for our friends John and Joy. They are going to welcome their second daughter this week. Congrats John and Joy! Here's a picture of three of the four kids. Baby Jake was in the exersauser. When they are ages 3, 2 and 16 months it is very hard to get a good picture of all of them! Adam and Denise had the jumping castle up for them. It was a huge hit! Thanks for such a good time!

Are there some sort of Child Labor Law in SC? Luckily my mom rescued Jackson this day! Poor guy missed all of the fun!

Don't worry - we put him to work later in the week!
