As we struggle to get settled into our new house and get it ready for our anniversary party the first week of August, I'm am conscious of the abundance of blessings we have. The past week has been very busy with both inside and outside work. Progress is being made thanks to the very generous help of our kids. Brush has been cleared, rocks removed and the yard has been prepared for sod where gardens were removed. Inside we have finished painting the family room, installed the dishwasher, fixed a plumbing problem, fixed a fire hazard electrical problem and completed many small tasks. Our oldest has been staying with us for the past couple of weeks to help wherever he can. This has given us some valuable and much needed bonding time before he moves to Wisconsin. It's wonderful to just be able to enjoy his company! Last week's blessings include:
- family!!!!!
- baby giggles and coos on the phone
- good friends
- very friendly new neighbours (even went to a neighbourhood party, music was a live band!)
- good DIY skills and the knowledge to know when to call professionals
- a serious potential electrical fire hazard averted (read about it here)
- a 6 hour plumbing repair (done by our plumber) - Hey, it could have been longer and more costly!
- learning to fine tune my patience - Paint only dries so fast and getting things done for our schedule, well ... my patience has been tested but that's a good thing!
- down time with Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows while sitting in the glow of the setting sun on the dock
- a visit last night from a maundering skunk
