Paint swatches, trips to the furniture stores, and acquiring furniture inherited from our grandmothers; this house will start to feel more like home in the coming months. As of now it looks just like we did when we bought it. We are at a place in our schedules where we have a little more time and energy (well that could be debated) to think of how we can make this a home to us and our likings. It's fun to imagine. So the coming months will be full of changes, but good ones that aren't too stressful. :)
Ella Jane was peering into my eyes this morning and she told me that my eyes looked different. I knew what was coming but humored her and asked what looked different. She told me they were red. I laughed and said, "yes, mama is tired." Tired but able to see changes in Sara that are fun. She's falling into a ryhthm all her own. Still a bit of a sleeper during the day; very peaceful, and then up once at night. She's smiling now and it's so funny to just stare at her because she thinks it's the greatest thing in the world.
Matthew starts a preschool nature program tomorrow which I hope he's as excited about as I am. It sounds just like something he would love; hikes, snacks, playing outside etc. He'll be among 20 or so other kids for the remainder of the week for 2hrs. in the morning.
As many of you have asked let me just say that we are fine in regards to the weather. Dubuque is dry and not flooded. Cedar Rapids is underwater however and that is just 90min. away. Dubuque sits on the edge of the Mississippi which separates us from Wisconsin and Illinois. The river is definately higher and technically at flood level but overall it does not affect the city. We've enjoyed two days in a row of sunshine now and I think it's something we could get used to!
