Those are the highlights of May, June and July. Written mostly so I can look back and remember!
Both my husband and I enjoy your updates! This Old House is an absolute favorite here, too. Our first baby is one month older than Ceclia and we spend much of our evenings after she is in bed watching. 🙂 We'd much rather learn to do things ourselves than pay someone to do it for us; even if they aren't doing projects we want to do, it's still fascinating!
Thanks for the update! Your baby is precious!
