Finally!

We moved into this house one year ago and yesterday I finally found furniture for the front family room. I am so excited! I love it and even better it was a great deal. I found it at a garage sale and it really looks brand new. the chairs I already had and was happy that they matched the sofas. So now I am enjoying my new sofas and for now, it is clean and free of toys : ) The same women is selling a canopy bed that I am going to go look at for Kat. If it is in the same condition as the sofas/tables I will be buying it. Even though she is not ready for a bed yet her room is big enough for the crib and the bed.


It has been a while so I guess I should update you on the family.

Sean has finished his speech therapy for the summer. I still don't know how much it helped but it didn't hurt. He has made improvements, but not sure if I can credit therapy or just his own progression. Starting in the fall he is enrolled in Countryside Montessori 5 afternoons a week and will be going to speech therapy 2 mornings a week. We will have to wait and see how this goes. I think two full days will be hard for him so we may cut back later.

Katherine is getting more and more independent and also has a bit of an attitude. She know exactly to get what she wants from Daddy, and if I tell her no she will run crying to him. She is cutting all her molars at once and has been miserable all week. Poor girl. Sean and I have been working on teaching her signs, but she has not been interested. Until I showed her the sign for shoes! She started doing that immediately. And yesterday at Meijers she saw me put milk in the cart and made the sign for milk. I love it!! Now if I could just talk Justin into letting me take the instructors course so I could teach baby signs.

Justin has been working really hard still. He is taking one class this semester and since it is a summer course it is very condensed. He has done a few "hotel buys" and no he is not buying hotels. He rents a conference room at a hotel and puts an ad in the paper that he is buying; gold, silver, coins, antiques, anything collectible. Usually for 3 days and people bring him what they have. He buys it and then sends most of it to the smelters and sells the rest on ebay or in the store. He would like to do one a month, but we will see.

I am doing fine. I went to a scrapbook class and made a mini book to display the family beach pictures that we took in Hawaii when Sean was 6 months old! I am really happy with the way it turned out. I will post pictures soon. I will be doing more of these mini books.

Well I think I am going to do some laundry.

Enjoy your day.
