updates

I keep thinking I need to save a big chunk of time to update, but I had better just start writing and get something down before I start getting the dreaded snarky comments on my last post. . .
Jeff had picked up a part time job in the mornings during the week. Many reasons for this, experience, financial, opportunities etc. He will be helping PhD students with their research projects.
He is now mudding and taping the drywall in our rooms. I had better settle on the colors I want asap. I just can't decide!
Work has been keeping me very busy. Year end reviews will occur next week sometime, I'm nervous, I feel like I can't get ahead and that will be reflected in my review. I even came in Friday for four hours to try and catch up.
Alaina is growing to fast. She likes to put up her letter and number magnets on the fridge. I realized last night that she knows the letter H because whenever she pulls it out of the container, she has to hug it tightly before putting it up because of course, H stands for Hugs! We went out to eat with The darlings last night, it was a great time!
I found out we have been over paying daycare since Dec, her rates went down she she moved up to the 18 month- 24 month room. Can you believe in four months she'll be two? Yikes! She needs to stop growing, her pjs don't fit as it is!
I was Stacey's date to her work formal on Saturday. It was awesome. Nice to get out of the house, have a few drinks and socialize with adults. I know a few of her co-workers, so I walked around chatting and one of them is married to an old school friend so I got to see him too! Anyway, I'll try to get some new pics up of the house and such soon. Maybe I need to do wordless Wednesdays to get my pics flowing!
