Lotsa Updates

Jill | August 30, 2008

I’ve been quite busy lately. It’s late, but I wanted to post an update of the goings-on of the week before it all escapes my memory.
Mac
Mac has learned quite a bit this week. Since his check-up, we have tried some new foods since the doctor said he can have just about anything [...]

The Big Move

Jill | August 20, 2008

I realize I have quite a few days to catch up on…
Last Friday, Mac’s carpet was installed right away the in the morning.  It turned out great!  Then I had to sing at church then went to the house to get some things done.  When Jeremy got home from work, we all headed to the [...]

Progress and The Final Push

Jill | August 14, 2008

Let’s see… What day is it again?
The last couple of days, Jeremy has worked during the day, so I’ve had Mac while trying to still get some things accomplished. I’d say I’ve been moderately successful. Tuesday I tried to get a little work done at the condo (work work, not moving work) while [...]

Getting Closer

Jill | August 11, 2008

The last two days have been more about finishing than starting.  We finished the floor in our bedroom and have closed it off now until we move the bedroom furniture on Sunday.  Mac’s room is finished except for getting carpet installed.  The only rooms we haven’t touched are the living room and guest room, which [...]

Paint & Poly

Jill | August 9, 2008

Today was a bit less intense than the last few have been. Mac slept until 8:30, so we got to sleep in too. Jeremy got started with the touch-ups in our room then the second coat in Mac’s room while I played with Mac. It was time for Jeremy to leave for [...]

Painting

Jill | August 8, 2008

Today we picked up CJ and after a short stop at the house went to Home Depot to get paint and supplies to start on the bedrooms.
I am admittedly VERY picky about painting, but in the interest of time and gratefulness for the help, I worked on letting go of a little of that today. [...]

More Moving

Jill | August 7, 2008

Jeremy worked today and I had to sing at a funeral this morning. I picked up Mac at Jane’s after that and headed to the house. He slept for a while and I had some lunch and started scrubbing the layers of grime off the stove grates. It was slow-going to be on [...]

Home Sweet Home

Jill | August 6, 2008

I tried posting this from my phone this morning, but the app wasn’t working, so I’ll have to sum up our two days tonight…
Yesterday was an early morning after not much sleep for either of us.  We got home from New Mexico, and Jeremy headed straight to work and didn’t get home until late, and [...]

‘Corner’ Under Construction

Jill | July 27, 2008

For those of you who may be trying to access “In My Own Little Corner,” I have not locked you out.  I upgraded and now the plugin that authenticates users is not working.  Unfortunately, I won’t really have a chance to work on it until we get back from New Mexico.  Until then, here is [...]
