blogger slackers

Soooo sorry to anyone who checks this blog at all - it's been way too long since I've updated! The end of our summer when by quickly, between mentor/mentee meetings and the usual professional development before the kids come back to school. Nevertheless, we found time to paint and carpet the nursery (although we are still working on finding a home for all the office stuff that used to occupy the spare bedroom)! Will post pictures later, as I've been using the nursery as "Gift-Wrapping Central" as I try to get the nieces' and nephews' birthday gifts ready to go. Aunt Erica isn't the greatest at getting those things done unless it's all done at once. :) Kevin also escaped a car accident almost completely unscathed, and has since purchased hardwood flooring that he wants to lay in the dining room and kitchen sometime in the next few weeks. Like the thoughtful guy he is, he asked if I'd like to help... seeing as how I can barely bend over to tie my shoes, I politely declined the offer to spend a weekend on my hands and knees installing flooring. :)
