The good news...and the bad news...

The good news is...our kitchen is finally done. Whoo-hoo! I love it! There was a bit of a problem with the stove though. We used to have an original 's Chambers stove. It was great and it was cool looking. If you've ever watched Rachel Ray on the Food Network, you've probably noticed her stove. Ours was just like that except ours was white and it had a shelf and timer on the back. I have a picture of ours that I haven't downloaded yet, I'll try to post it later. Anyway, like I said, we used to have a Chambers, but when it came time to move it, it didn't fit into the new space between the cabinets. Which is weird, because I think about four or five different people measure it before hand and we all got 36in. So I don't know what went wrong. So moving day came and we were SOL as far as a stove goes. Well we decided instead of trying to make the space fit the stove, we were just gonna say goodbye to our beloved Chambers and get a new stove. {Sigh} So the next morning, Ken headed to the only store that actually had a 36in gas range in stock. About an hour later, we were cookin' ... literally...on our new, modern, gas stove. And I love it! It is so wonderful to finally get settled in and get back into a routine.
We also aquired a new vehicle. Another one. Last week I told you about our new Motor Coach we bought... "HOWhee". It's still rollin' strong and we're trying to get familiar with it. Anyway, we bought another vehicle. A Honda Accord. It's a 2000, but it's in really good shape. And the price couldn't be better. So, this will be my running around vehicle when I only have two of the kiddos or I'm by myself. Now we just have to get rid of the suburban cause our yard looks like a parking lot.
Other than that, things are going well. All of the kiddos are doing well and growing fast. Our house and lives are finally getting back in order after two years of construction. We still have some rearranging to do...ie...swapping the bedroom for a playroom and vice-versa. That's a biggy with me cause I want the playroom on this side of the house away from the babies' room.
We have planned a trip to the Valley next month. And barring any unforscene incidents...knock on wood...we hope to get down there.
That's about all I have time for now. I'll try to get some new pics uploaded in the next few days.
Namaste.

I've been trying to keep up...

...with this blog every week. Unfortunately, about two weeks ago, I got pretty sick. Ended up in the E.R. with a sinus infection, inner ear infection and strep. So, I hadn't much felt like blogging. But, I've started feeling a little better and thought it was time to get online and catch up.
Well, Ken bought this new laptop...which I'm using right. Only cause I wanted to get this done and watch Law & Order at the same time. Yes, I'm addicted to L&O. Anyway, he got this thing...and...I don't know...I think I like the desktops better. But it will be fun when traveling.
So things here have been nonstop as usual. The boys are over whatever little bug they caught. Thank goodness. And our busy schedule is pretty much back on track. Nile & Noah have their four year checkup coming up and James and Jonah have their four month checkup coming up.
We bought a new vehicle...a motor coach. It's very nice. It has a stove, sink, bathroom, microwave, tv/dvd...etc. I've driven it once to therapy and it was pretty easy to drive. It's slightly larger than the suburban, taller really, but it drives like a car. This will be my "appointment" vehicle when I have to take all four kiddos with me. When It's just me or just a couple of the kiddos, Ken has planned on buying a used Honda. Suppose to be in pretty good condition. The motorcoach, or "HOWhee" as we have nicknamed it, (Short for "House On Wheels" LOL That's what mom calls it. LOL ) will be wonderful to have on trips to Houston and the Valley. Or anywhere for that matter.
Let's see...our countertops are suppose to be installed tomorrow. I hope it gets done and done right. I'm tired of having a half done kitchen. We are so ready.
My brain is so tired right now I can't think. I'll have to write more later.
Nite.
