Life for the Brockmans

Clay came home from work yesterday and said that I was in trouble. One of his co-workers (who is a friend of mine and reads this blog) wanted to know why it hadn't been updated since 3/16. My quick response was that I didn't have anything to blog about.

Now I guess that's not entirely true so here goes.

Life for the Brockmans can be described as a busy routine right now. Weeks are flying by and weekends are a blur. Both Clay and I are fairly busy at work with different projects. My calendar is filled with meetings and leaves me wondering when I will ever actually be at my desk to get any work done. Our nights go just as quickly. After work and picking up Kenley we figure out dinner and have either been trying to enjoy the recent warm weather with wagon rides or trips out to the lot to check on the house. Then it's usually bathtime and bedtime before we know it. And after getting Kenley in bed, Clay and I haven't been too far behind. I don't know if we are still recovering from the time change or just feeling the wrath of long days.

On Kenley's side of things... all 4 of her molars finally popped through! YIPPIE! She doesn't really let me see in there but occasionally I can sneak a finger in there to feel their sharp points coming through. She is sleeping well again at night but still has a bit of a rattle. She just needs to learn how to clear her throat. I wonder when kids learn to do that? Her hair is going curly and it's super cute but VERY UNRULEY (is that spelled right?)  Even after I brush it she has random curls shooting out over her ears or on the back of her head. I'll try to get a new picture to show it. It's also getting long enough that it hangs in her eyes sometimes. I tried to do piggies last weekend but she wanted nothing to do with it so I let it be.  She is enjoying the warmer weather and wants to constantly be outside if she can. She will even forgo a nap to play outside so we may have a long grumpy summer ahead of us.

On the home front, our box is coming along. They have the interior framed and were working on the Envirodry yesterday and should be doing the roof soon too. Clay and I are starting to get into decision mode and picking out doors, windows, siding, brick, flooring, cabinets. You name it and we have to pick it at some point I'm sure. We are also shopping for new bedding for everyone so that we can pick out new paint colors. I think we will do Kenley's room in either yellows or purples. Those seem to be the colors I'm gravitating towards. Our bedroom is still up in the air (if you ask me).  We make a few trips out there each week for pictures and updates. Kenley LOVES running around and ducking through the "walls." She also likes going up the stairs like a big girl.

So I guess I've bounced all over the place here. I do have one picture of "our little box" and its progress to share. Stay tuned for more...
