Okay, so we've had a minor set back in terms of our house (for those yearning for an Amelia fix, scroll down). While I was away and in Florida, it rained. Brad went to the house and found puddles in the house (living, master bed and Amelia's room). The tip off point was when Brad couldn't get into the house through the front door. Turns out there was a bad leak from the front window over our door and the door had swelled nearly to the point where we could not open the front door. The front foyer hardwood floors were soaked, there's dirty water marks running down the walls. After calling the company supervisor, an emergency team got out to the house and set up dryers. So we had dryers upstairs and downstairs. Ugh! They also tore some of the sheetrock off the walls and had to retarp the roof. So that's a set back. However, we are moving forward with the house. The bathroom is all framed. The electrician came and reinstalled lights, fans and moved electrical outlets. The plumber also came and moved the toilet hole, drain for the shower and the drainage/piping for the bathtub. We're really excited. We've picked out our shower fixtures and new fixtures for the tub (they were getting old and wearing out). Then yesterday, the roofers came and put the tar paper on the roof... and today, they were shingling the roof! Hooray! I've put together a slideshow of the house fix.
In other news... my sis-in-law (Natalie) and bro (Jay) had a beautiful baby girl, Amanda Jayne on Wednesday, April 15. She weighed in at 8 1/2 pounds. Mom had to be induced. I hear that everyone is doing well!
In Amelia news, she's now a crawler. She's got a good solid 7 teeth. Everyone is remarking that she's such a happy baby. I got the comments from random people at the airport. Makes me feel good because I know that she's taken care of and others are noticing. Umm... Amelia also loves to walk. She had a great Easter. Grandma Evelyn gave her an Easter basket filled with goldfish crackers, toddler finger snacks, a Dr. Seuss crib sheet, Easter chicken that plays music, candy and a swimsuit. MoMo gave Amelia two cute 12 month outfits. Super cute! (had to fit in a suitcase). She also got an outfit from her Auntie Debbie & Uncle Ronny and toys for the bathtub from Jejja. She made out like a bandit.
