Catching up again

My what a busy few weeks we have had here.  We have made many decisions on the new house and it's starting to move along again. Today we had windows and they were working on the siding.

I'm hoping that tomorrow when we go back out there that even more will be done ;o) Today we went out to settle the biggest stress we have had thus far with the new Hotel Brockman. We discovered last weekend that they put the sliding door in the wrong spot and cut our living room short by about 5 ft. Needless to say this did not make us happy and I have stressed over it this past week. However yesterday they fixed it immediately and all is well. The living room window was also cut differently but after today's discussion we are leaving it the same which will allow more wall space for the couch and still allow all the light.  The electrician does have some more work since he now has to move all the living room lights and the exterior lights from the patio door as well as the "eat in" area and a few other things, but I am much happier now that it is fixed and we should be on the smooth sailing track again!!

In other news, my wonderful in-laws have returned from wintering in FL. They spent a few days in town and babysat Kenley. Clay and I aren't sure who had more fun, grandma and grandpa or Kenley. They took a lot of walks and few trips to the park to enjoy the lovely weather we have been having lately. Kenley enjoys the swings still and is starting to really like the slides. (In the last picture, Kenley was picking me some pretty purple flowers.)

It sure is nice to have them back in IL! We missed them over the winter!!!

And finally for your complete entertainment, we were watching TV the other night and watching the show "Bert the Conqueror." (Good show!)  Bert was going to participate in the wife carrying contest in Maine. I joked that I wanted Clay to try to carry me like they did for that competition. He said he couldn't do it and I figured he could so we tried it. My in-laws were there to catch the action. Without further adieu, I give you the Estonian wife carry in 3 shots: (WARNING! the first shot isn't my best angle)

I was laughing so hard I could have peed my pants and Clay was worried he threw his back out, but it was all in good fun. We decided we weren't quite ready for the competition and would definitely have to start practicing. After all what man doesn't want to win his wife's weight in beer and 5x her weight in cash? Who wants to trek to ME next year for the contest?

I guess there is never a dull moment at the Hotel Brockman, so as always, stay tuned!
