Trying to think less about babies this month, and more about finances and gettting the house fixed up. We have done a lot so far, but there are always projects when you are a homeowner. We decided to build a brick paver patio along the side of the deck in the backyard. We wanted a place to hang out with a fire pit and chairs and some tiki torches. A good place for family and friends to hang out on nice nights while we grill out, and eventually for the kids to play as well. It was good in theory, and we thought we could handle doing everything ourselves. Well 3 months later, it is about 1/2 way done. Getting these suckers to be level is the easy part, it is getting them level to each other that is driving us bonkers. But, we feel very accomplished when we get out there and lay 6 or so bricks, and we are doing it together, so that is some quality time too. I know we are going to love it once it is done, but the journey getting there has been arduous. We want it done by the fall, so we can enjoy it in the nice weather.
     Tonight we have dinner with Jenn's parents, which I am looking forward to. I am a family girl, and really enjoy spending time with ours. It will be nice to sit and have dinner with them and just catch up on what has been going on. They know nothing about the whole baby business, so there is no need to discuss it. In the back of my mind the hope is always there, and I have a countdown app on my phone that shows when I am ovulating and when my next period is, so it is hard to completely avoid it, but that is okay with me. 20 days until my next cycle. Until then, we wait... Disney in less than 2 weeks!
