The days have just been flying by - June 10? Is it really? Our week was jam packed, or so it seems. Jake and I each made separate trips to Fort Smith, not easy on the gas bill! My trip was to see the Dr., his, to mow the lawn. We now are in agreement that perhaps a lawn service is cheaper than driving for a short 1.5hr stay? And that was my last (already paid for Dr.)
Anyhow - we have really been enjoying being SO close to a shopping center. Jake says he is this big country man, but I know he likes this too - maybe not long term, but he didn't object to a walk to Paradise donuts this morning. heehe. We have walked to the grocery store, Starbucks, a restaraunt called Nothing but Noodles, Paradise Donuts and even Petco and Kohls. The double stroller is getting good use! I love it.
Things with our house purchase here are still in progress. Our inspections were completed only to find out there are some termites and carpener ants - for $1100 or so worth or repairs and the pool is uneven. So the termite thing will get taken care of but the pool is under further scrutiny. We have to get a structural enginner out to determine if the slope is due to initial settling or a leak and erosion or what. If it ends up being a serious problem we will not purchase the house, we just can't afford to take that on. If it was an initial settling and looks unchanged then no big deal.
What else...um...free toilet paper! Yep, a whole CARTON, over 48rolls of Kleenex Cottenelle, for free! Perks of working at KC. I had a 3hr nap today, much needed. Okay, starting to get into the thankful list, so let me start numbering them.
1. A LOOONG nap, that was way overdue - thank you honey.
2. Erin - thank you for coming to Tulsa, enduring the 4hr ride to Fort Smith (and yes it should have been 2, I got lost, don't ask, that is a story for another time). I don't know what I would have done without her company and it was so fun to get to know her better.
3. Getting cute pics from shutterfly in my hands of Bo (and Anna too) it is nice to have some of him around our place.
4. Starbucks (within walking distance)
5. Jake shuttling me to various stores that I need to run into and don't want to go alone and/or haul kids to
6. Carl's Jr. it is sooooo good to be back in a land where I can get a Western Bacon Cheeseburger and no that isn't healthy or good for my diet, but it is good going down!
7. The USPS FINALLY getting their act together and delivering my mail, took 2.5weeks for me to receive ANYTHING, 1 in house visit and 2 phone calls - morons (pardon the language).
8. Finding out that 3, yes 3 different families (or members of those families), from our HOME group in Boise, will be in Tulsa this coming week. Mind you we only had 6 families in total, and one of those was us. What are the odds?
9. Having Wilson back under our roof
10. Hearing that Amy AND both kids will be here Wed. to visit!!!
Re: Wilson - for 3 weeks all was well at Aunt Carrie's house, her 2 dogs and Wilson were getting along great. We have no idea what happened but yesterday morning her dogs attacked him. He is fine, a little torn up but nothing serious. Anyhow, we have him here at our apt. and though it is a tad cramped and a pain to put him on a leash to go outside etc. it has been GREAT for Anna's spirits. She is having a rough time knowing where HOME is and this is a blessing. And yes, we are still SO thankful that she kept him for 3 weeks.
And before I close, some new pics. Happy Saturday!
Anna and her cousin Malory last weekend
Our little man starting to grin (6weeks old)
Get a load of the double chin! Anna's new thing is telling Bo, "Sit with me"...so here they are sitting together

I still can't believe you are back in Tulsa. Our trip this summer isn't going to happen, but maybe sometime soon. I can't wait to see you again and meet Aeriel's handsome husband to be. :) Cute pictures of your little ones. Oh, and within walking distance of Starbucks??? How jealous am I?
Take care, love ya and miss ya!
