Water Problems

In the renovation of our bathroom we needed the pipes moved so that our new vanity would be centered. No one in my immediate family felt that they were qualified to take on such a project and I was more than happy to hire a professional to do it correctly. The last thing I needed was someone cutting huge holes in my wall and the $250 saved by not hiring a plumber would go to a drywall person.

Well, that thought process didn't really pan out because the PROFESSIONAL ended up doing this....



and I didn't even take a picture of the hole in my bedroom wall!!! While he was trying to fix the pipe he broke he busted through to our bedroom. Oy vey.

Yesterday I took a small break from work to help Josh dye Easter eggs. The kind I bought this year had you put the eggs in little plastic bags and "rub on" the dye. It was not nearly as messy as usual and definitely more "hands on" for Joshua.



We only had a few casualties and Lauren was very impressed with Josh's handy work.





Lauren had her 9 month check on Friday. I thought she was a big girl but the stats from Friday only confirmed my suspicions. She weighs a little over 25 pounds and is 30 1/2 inches long!!! She was in the 99th percentile for height and weight. The poor girl has to stay in the rear facing seat until she's one and she has to sit criss-cross because he legs are too long to have them straight out!

With the way the girl eats it's no wonder she's so "healthy"!!





This was from dinner last night...shortly afterwards I ran her up to the bathtub and hosed her down. Josh was disgusted by the floating noodles in his bath tub and Lauren was busy trying to grab them and finish eating them.

That's my girl!!

Dustin's first day back at work is today. He's on "light duty" for now. Yesterday was rough for him. I think the anxiety of returning to the scene of the accident was causing most of his hesitation. That and I know he's going to miss spending so much time with the kids.

Have a great week!
