Hope in the tub tonight, I just like that girl.

This is what I found when I went to get Hope out of her bed this morning. She pulled herself to standing today. She has been crawling for about 2 weeks...I mean she would take one "crawl" if you know what I mean. But, not tonight. She crawled half the length of the room to "get me". Oh that girl.



Lots of pictures tonight. Before our trip, I discovered a leak coming from my bathroom shower...leaking into the office...through the ceiling. Lovely. We had a plumber come out that day, but they couldn't do it until the day before we left...and we just opted to wait and have it fixed when we got home. We just couldn't use that shower, that's all. Until today. The leak has been fixed and I now have a huge hole in my ceiling. Isn't it lovely? The plumber doesn't fix the hole, he just makes it. So, on top of the arm and leg we paid him to MAKE that hole, we have to pay somebody to fix it. Although, our friend David and Scott think they can fix it???? Maybe.


That being said, Scott installed our new dishwasher last night by himself. It took him until midnight, but hey, it's in and looks great. We ordered up our new fridge today, that should be in 10 days from now. Can't wait!! I got the LG fridge with the french doors on...oh heck I'll just put a picture in here.
Oh you know what else I bought today?? New towels. The last time my Dad was here, he kept using the rags...they are clearly on another shelf...what was the problem? I think he thought they looked better than my towels. hehehe! So, right now my washer/dryer are humming with fluffy, new towels. I'm just going to ditch the old towels. Maybe some are fit to be used as rags...
Shoot, I might as well show you the new dishwasher too. I'm excited, can you tell?

Oh boy, I am loving your fridge and dishwasher!! Very nice. I have a leak right now too. Some coil in the A/C is broken and so the condensation from the A/c is dripping through a light fixture and into the tub. The A/C guy came and said it would take a week to get the part in. Luckily the A/C is still working. So far the leak is just going straight through the light, I am hoping it won't damage the ceiling. Sorry about your leak too. What a pain!

oh how exciting!!! i love the new appliances. and i love that hopey crawled... i saw bits and pieces. she'd do one or two crawls, but not too much. but she moved. it was kinda strange. and - love those tub pictures. i have a few of her in the tub here & she was adorable. i was going to post about 'em, but now i might not - don't want to be redundant about her adorableness... but i guess i can't avoid it. i think it everyday!

Fun stuff! I love new things that help us do our jobs- And look good too! I'll have to catch up in a week or so when we get back connected. See ya Heather!

Hope is so so cute! Love those pics -- and what a fun stage she's at right now. And I LOVE the new appliances -- I laugh every time I get excited about new appliances. It's funny to want that more than anything -- tells you you're not a kid anymore!

Oh...I love bath time so fun. Hope is darling. Isn't just like a repair man to fix one thing only to break another(not by choice) Love the appliances!

Hope is crawling and standing up? I need to get my arms around that girl before she is walking. She is just a beautiful baby. Hugs and kisses to my Hope. Sounds like you are getting lots done around the house. That was great Scott could put in the dishwasher. I love the fridge, too. Your hole is not major. Your dad has repaired many a hole in the drywall. My favorite repair was when he was in the attic getting out Christmas and came through the living room ceiling and straddled a beam. Ouch, he was quiet for a while but when he was moving again he started throwing the packages down at me because I was laughing looking at those two dangling legs.

Your new appliances look a lot like my new appliances! You will love them. Get the method stainless cleaner, it works wonders. And use a microfiber cloth. I can't believe Hopey is already pulling herself up. She's so adorable.

Dad said...

I took those towels because I didn't want to get the good ones dirty.

Sorry about the leak, Heather! That sucks, but on the bright side: I love your new fridge and dishwasher! Very cute! And Hope could not be any cuter if she tried. She's such a doll. And I love her bedding!
