Yes! We made it to March!

We have been in our house just a few days shy of 6 months!  Can you believe it?
I still have no less than 6 pictures leaning against a wall waiting to be hung, three shelves piled here and  there waiting to find their place on a wall and two curtain rods hoping to someday be hung.  Not to mention about 10 other things that need tweaking prior to hanging. Lame.
The drainage issue on our side yard hasn't been fixed yet by the builder, the leaking roof was fixed by the warranty guy but he never came back to put the wall up, and we have a leak in our gutter that I haven't even bothered calling about yet.  Inside and outside this place is a mess!
What am I doing with my time?
Some positive notes:
A family with three boys just moved in down the street.  Two of the kids are my boys' ages and I now have 4 loud, dirty boys playing in the yard.  I'm so happy.
Matt's job is proving to be a great experience for him.  He is working really hard, not so fun, but also being recognized for his awesomeness.  He is learning to fly a new aircraft which seems to be a wee bit stressful for him but mostly just exciting and he is still chipping away at those last few classes toward his degree.  His quest for his B.S. in Aeronautics reminds me of Andy Dufresne in his quest to break out of Shawshank.  Hopefully, he doesn't have to swim through any ditches full of poop to get to freedom.  I do the laundry around here, and I can't say that I could handle that.
I'm still trying to find my place around here but the good news is that there seems to be a lot of different opportunities for me to plug in, I've just been so busy decorating the house....er um hmmm or maybe just dragging my feet.  But lets focus on the positive... lots of opportunity when I decide to seize it!
This is our last weekend of basketball.  I'm a bit sad.  I have grown to love the 36 minutes (they are abbreviated games) of pure excitement. We are gearing up for baseball which is freaking me out a little.  This is a serious league and I'm not sure I'm ready for serious.  Eli and Matt are excited.  Practice is three times a week.  I better get a good book. However, since two of the practice times are on the weekends, I fully intend to pass off my baseball mom duties to baseball dad as much as possible!
Gabe wants to ballroom dance.  I cannot find a studio that offers ballroom dancing around here, so he may try tap.  We'll see how that goes.  I'm sure it will be simply awesome to have him stomping around the wood floor all the time. I'm absolutely missing traveling every month on a long weekend, but having the boys involved in fun weekend sports does make up for it a little.  It is great to see the boys having fun...even if that means I'm sitting on the sidelines surfing for summer vacation ideas while the boys are "matching up" and "rebounding".
March is going to be busy!  I have a feeling these next few weeks are going to fly by.  Or maybe that is wishful thinking?
I have a grand plan of taking some updated house photos.  Before I do that, I better peel the price tags off those frames I recently bought, and finish hanging the wall art.
