exciting news!

well, my sister is in labor as we speak! That means we're going to have a new nephew by the end of the day, and a new cousin for lana! YEAH! pray for my sis and her family in this transition--it'll be their third son with all 3 under 5 yrs old. 

drew is officially out of school....which means i officially hate my job. it's hard going to work since i'm coming off maternity leave, but even harder when i know drew is just hanging out at home. i'm glad he's getting a much deserved break though.

lana is doing super. she's adjusting to daycare well, and i have lunch with her every day. it's a lot of fun. she's already learning so many new things. and last week she did her first art project! they stripped the babies down to their diapers, laid them on white paper, put a water color brush in their hands, and let them do their thing. it is 100% done by lana and only lana. adorable. i can't wait to hang it on the fridge. and the pictures they took are precious. but i'm not in possession of those just yet. i'll post them as soon as i am. she got a little bit of water color on her face...at first i thought she'd had an 'incident'. but no biggie. came right off. she's also talking so much...it's music to my ears. i could just sit and listen to her and watch her all day. crazy how life changes.

last weekend we had a bit of an 'incident' ourselves. saturday afternoon we were all taking naps. drew got up to take care of lana and thought it was super hot in the house. he checked the thermostat and it said 80. hmmm...weird. whatever. it's hot outside. well, about an hour or two passed and we finally realized that this was a problem. we called the a/c people to come out and they looked around. decided it was the circuit board, but told us nothing could be done until tuesday--they had to order the part. we were going to tough it out, but at midnight it was still 82 in the house. windows open, box fans going, still unbearable for little lana. she was getting sick. so we packed up and headed to the embassy suites. we stayed there saturday and sunday night. and although i didn't want to be paying money for a place to say, it was so fun! like a little mini vacation! so, monday & tuesday nights our friend bambi let us stay with her. luckily, everything was fixed by wednesday night. i'll spare you the details. basically, we had shorted wires, blown transformer, and a shorted circuit board. i had a dream last night that the bill was $2500...hopefully that won't be the case. we're still waiting on the invoice! :(

anyway, that's all for now. our house is cool and we're getting ready to head to rockwall to meet little noah for the first time. pictures to come! happy weekend!!!!

that's so cool that Lana will have a cousin so close to her age. They'll be the same year in school. Neato. Glad that y'all didn't burn up in the house and very glad that it's fixed. Hang in there at work! Talk to you soon.
