I should probably update . . .

I think most of you who read this blog already know that we have our new addition. Victoria Catherine Joanna was born March 30, 2009 at approx. 9:10 pm. I say approimately because with the drama of her entry no one really thought to look at the clock for the exact time. ;) I won't go over the details again of that eventful night but needless to say it was a very original birth story and Tori has a connection to her Daddy that none of the others have.

And life moves rapidly forward doesn't it?! Here we are almost exactly three weeks later. Tori is growing well. At our dr.'s visit yesterday she was 7 lbs 8 ozs and 19.25 cm. At birth she was 7 lbs 19 cm. She's still a bit of a peanut at the 5th and 10th percentile respectively. She's usually pretty relaxed although she has her moments but she's a pretty calm baby. I think I see a pattern forming . . . Matthew had colic and was very high maintenance, Mia was quiet and calm, Gillian had colic and was(is) very high maintenance which I guess is another good reason to stop having babies while we are ahead.

We also had Mia's dr. checkup. I was expecting to get all her shors but the dr. really wants to hold out for as close to age 5 as possible. Well, Mia was none the wiser as I didn't dare say anything to her about shots. I just hope Mia's school doesn't give us grief about the shots. Oh and my big girl is literally getting big! Where is this height coming from? She is 43.5 inches tall and 39 lbs! Those are both in the 90th percentile. WOW! I wondering if she got some of the tall genes on my side . . . my mom was tall (5"11) and my brother is 6"0. I know Gillian is another tall one. She wasn't officially measured and weighed but at 2 she is not far off from her big sister in height and I'm pretty sure weight too. That girl is heavy! I can barely carry her anymore.

Todd started back to work today after taking three weeks off following the birth of Tori. It was nice in a way but can I just say that it's also nice when he is working too? I love him but sometimes . . . . I just need to be alone to do my own thing. He was thinking about taking some paternity leave in the summer but I fear he will drive me crazy. lol

It's been so long . . .

but I've got some random thoughts to share.

This pregnancy is beginning to wind down and I guess I'm sad. Being pregnant makes me extremely emotional as it is but knowing that this is it makes me more so. I do love being pregnant despite the exhaustion, the perpetual cold(it started in October and never left), oh and then there's the whole leaking pee thing. Yeah that's not fun but I'll still miss it when it's over. I finally had a dream the other night about this baby. In my dream the baby was a boy and of course we named him Liam as we have already planned. I used to believe these dreams whole-heartedly. They were right for Matthew and Amelia. But Gillian broke the whole trend. She was 'supposed' to be a boy. My dream had said so. I was convinced. So I'm not banking on the whole boy thing. We still have not agreed on a girl name but I will not be caught off guard like we were with Gillian. I just thank God now that I've come to love Gillian's name as much as I do now. At the time I was not sure about it at all.

I am scheduled to work for three more weeks(exactly 14 more days). That's 7 more kindie days. I really kinda dread those days now because they take the most out of me. Teaching 20 four and five year olds all day(some with severe behavioural issues) just drains me. I'm thinking I may need to take a couple more mental/physical health days before I go on mat. leave.

I washed some baby clothes yesterday and that's the most I've done to get ready for this baby. I definitely hope I will be more prepared than I was with Gillian. She was almost 4 weeks early. Totally threw us for a loop. Todd still has to get all the car seats arranged and in place. Mia is moving to the back with Matthew and the new baby will take her place but the van is a mess and it's been too cold to give it a good cleaning. Don't want to put a new little baby in that crazy mess!

So that's the latest pretty much. My life is never too dramatic and that's probably a good thing. Todd got a new job within his police service that will put him closer to home which is great especially with my quick labours. He currently works almost two hours away from home. Not good if I go into labour. His transfer is supposed to be in May but because of the situation it may be pushed to early March. I REALLY hope it is. If not I'm going to have to be extra cautious and pay a lot more attention to any ctxs. With G, we arrived at the hospital at 7 am and had her at 8:27 am. Can't afford to cut it that close with this one.

So no trip for me . . .

Isn't she cute?? Yeah well . . .

It's just not going to work. I left Gillian with Todd just for an hour at home while I took Mia with me to the store. She went NUTS! AND she was at home AND she was with her daddy! It doesn't get any better than that. So yeah we are not going to be leaving her with a complete stranger(to her). Gramma will likely go crazy and I don't want to be responsible for that! lol

Gillian is also coming down with a cold too so that doesn't help her. She was totally miserable yesterday too. Crying for little to no reason ie. wrong cup, tripping, dropping her snack - stuff that normally doesn't bother her. We should have known to stay home but silly me thought, Maybe if we go out she'll be happier!!! Works sometimes. But not this time. She just screamed her head off in the van nearly the whole time. Even Mia who isn't fazed by her noise was asking why she was crying so much and telling her to stop crying. We sang, tried snacks, drinks, books and again the usual stuff that entertains her was just not doing it's thing.

Todd made the unfortunate mistake of going an hour and a half away for a picnic. Once we got there we had to stuff our faces really fast as the wind was picking up and a storm was coming in! Wow it got cold fast. However once Gillian was out of the van and outside she was great. Very happy. She LOVES the great outdoors. Even when she was a baby and we couldn't settle down her crying . . . going outside always worked. She'd shut off like a lightswitch.

We had to race back to the van to load everything up. Before we left we popped into a cute little candy store. Gillian was doing great! Then we buckled her in and went on our way. Of course that is when the crying resumed and yup, it lasted for pretty much the entire ride back. We stopped once so I could do a check(maybe she pooped? nope) and then it started again as I was buckling her in.

So after much discussion(well maybe not MUCH because we are on the same page here) I'm going to stay home with the kids and Todd's going up to Ottawa with his friend. Oh no no no! I am very happy with this outcome!! I could have brought the kids up to the ils like we were going to and then stay there but why would I want to put myself through that?? Their place is not babyproofed, Gillian will likely be off even with me there, I won't sleep well because I'm weird like that(I have the worst time sleeping places other than at home in my bed which btw, is getting better so why turn around and make it worse?). I'm happy. We will go out and have fun so don't worry about us!

*yawn*

Oh I'm so tired. I know, a pregnant woman tired? How cliche! I don't think it's as much physiological but mental like "Holy crap! We are going to have FOUR kids!!" I'm tired but as soon as I go to bed I'm wide awake. Then I lay there for hours. I think about how I'm going to manage the kindergarten class this year without a prep all day. I opted instead for a double prep on my non-kindie days . . . now I'm not so sure that was wise. I'm super worried about telling people. I don't want to see the looks or hear the comments. I'm wondering how long I can go before having to tell people because my belly is just making it too obvious. We haven't told anyone - not even the kids. They would just end up telling everyone and I don't want that either.

Oh yeah and just to update how I told Todd. I got a bouquet of pink and blue balloons with a mylar balloon on the top that said new baby. Then I attached the positive hpt to it. I told Todd I had something to show him. He loved the balloons but didn't quite get the significance . . . he read "New Baby" as "Now Baby". Silly guy! Once he figured it out he was very happy and of course in shock just like me. I think he liked the way I shared the news.

Todd wants to go away to Ottawa this weekend. He says his mom will take the take the kids and I know Matt and Mia will be fine but Gilliebean . . . well she's a challenge on most days. She's super needy. Some days she needs to be held constantly. Sometimes I'll cry her out so I can get stuff done. Other days I'll just sit and hold her and hold her and hold her. I don't want Todd's mom to have to deal with that. It's so frustrating. So I'm on the fence about what to do . . . on the one hand I would love a mini-vacation just with Todd but on the other I'm just worried Todd's mom won't be able to handle G-bean. I think I'll gve her a call tonight and talk it over with her just to make sure she knows what she is getting herself into.

Sooooooo how should I tell him??

Yup a big FAT positive. No doubts about that sucker. Todd has NO IDEA. None. Not a clue. I've dropped no hints. I've not said a word. With the exception of Matthew(yeah he was a BIG exception) the others were planned. We always figured that eventually that bfp would come, it was just a matter of when.

Todd worked all day so he was not privy to my poas adventure. He is home now and I still haven't said anything. Bad huh? Just trying to find my words. This most certainly will be the last. We are not going to be leaving anything else to chance again. Four is my limit . . . well I was starting to think three was my limit but I guess not.

I'm still in shock. That might be part of why I haven't said anything yet. I mean, we had sex maybe one time and unless I'm way off it wasn't close to ovulation at all. All those months and months we tried and tried for Mia and Gillian and then boom this happens. This will be my THIRD April baby. What is up with that??? It must be something about the summer where I am more relaxed than during the school year. It is definitely my fertile time. lol I don't think I can afford all these April birthdays.

I think I'm going to sit on this new found knowledge just for a day or two and think of a special way to share this last special surprise.

An apology . . .

To all my faithful blog readers!!

Please don't abandon me!

I just can't get my act together lately . . . I miss posting. I miss reading all of YOUR posts. I miss commenting on them. I just can't do it. I'm tired . . . no more than that. EXHAUSTED.

Moving day is January 25. I am working on packing but not much happens during the week. The evenings are too busy and I am just too tired. But next week there are no excuses . . . it HAS to be done.

The house is looking FABULOUS!!!! That is at least something I can be excited about.

I will definitely be updating with pics when I can finally get a chance to just BE.

Thanks for checking in on me(Amy)!

Take down!

Bye ornaments!!!


Matthew's special ornament from Gramma

Bye tree!

So here we are in 2008! My how time flies . . . sometimes I wish it would move faster and then I get sad that it seems to be moving too fast. I'm never happy, huh?

The coming of the new year also means the take down of all things Christmas.

I love Christmas. By November I'm counting down the days until the tree can go up and all the Christmas trimmings can come out and play! But once boxing day is over I'm ready to move on but I force myself to keep the tree up until January 1st.

The kids had almost as good a time taking the tree down as they did putting it up! I think they are ready to move on too. We got many new ornaments this year. I will be delighted to see them again next Christmas I'm sure! hehehe With my memory how it is I'm sure I'll have forgotten about many of them.

This is a special one from a special friend . . . thank you Ellie!!! I love it!

It's New Year's Eve

and here I sit cradling my youngest who refuses to go to sleep and my oldest is sitting with his father watching him play a video game. My middle daughter has long since gone to bed. Ahhhh the life of a mother.

I haven't done anything for NYE since 1999. Yup, the big one. The one everyone was worried about. The one that was supposed to ring in the end of the world. The one many people were preparing like crazy for. The end of life as we knew it.

I was at a house party with some teacher friends. I was a bit tipsy but not THAT bad. I watched with baded breath as a nearby TV monitored the progress of "The Ball" and then raised my glass as it reached 0 ready to call out "Happy New Year!!!". But in that instant the lights went out and the words died on my lips. My heart pounded and I thought it was over. Everything. Over. Then my WONDERFUL friend put the lights back on that he shut off and laughed extremely hard at my expense. I can be so gullible. *sigh*

In those 8 years I went from a carefree young woman to a wife and middle-aged mother of three. Where did the time go??

So now I'm off to try and put my littlest angel to bed, chase the oldest to his bed and cuddle up to my husband and watch Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End. I probably won't see that ball drop. I actually haven't seen it since that big millenium drop. I honestly don't care. Life will go on for us. Iam good with that too. :)

Happy New Year to all my bloggy friends!!

Long time . . . no blog.

It's been so long since I blogged! I hate to go this long but so much has been going on lately . . . and then I've had that "where do I even begin" feeling that I've avoided posting anything anywhere. I get like that . . . I feel so behind that I don't even know where to start so I opt to do NOTHING. I'm trying to work my way back in. It's hard though because schedules are off and I just feel so behind. I hate that feeling. It just makes me want to crawl into my shell and hide. I don't really know why. I'm going to get back to normal though soon. I promise!

Anyway, I start with Christmas I guess. Or rather Christmas Eve. That was fun. Todd was working . . . k that part wasn't fun but Mia was so into everything this year so THAT was fun. We kept checking out Santa NORAD this year and you just HAVE to checkout the excitement coming from Mia this year . . .



Last year she hated Santa(I have the picture with the red eyes to prove it) and didn't want anything to do with him coming to our house. This year, she is LOVING it! The Santa visit was a big hit and she is soaking up everything Christmas. I should have scanned the Santa pic but I'm lazy and didn't but even Gillian likes Santa. She looks so much like Matt in the pic it's scary. I'm always amazed about how similar they are. Not only looks but temperment.

SO Todd came home Chri9stmas morning at 6 am and waited for everyone to get up. Matthew was up first of course and we had a hard time holding him off. We actually had to wake Mia up at 7:30 because she was not waking on her know very well despite our noise.

The kids enjoyed opening all their gifts. Mia had so much fun opening her gifts. Matthew enjoyed his as well but it's important to note that according to a relative he described his gifts as not being everything he asked for but pretty good just the same. I spent a vast majority of Christmas day opening this and that and trying very hard to keep the house looking like a bomb went off in it.

The stockings:



The Christmas tree after Santa came:


I bought special Santa wrap for each child . . . Mia was the blue, Matt was the green and Gillian was the red. Poor Gillian got the shaft this year. There was only two under the tree for her . . . but a day or so later I realized I had forget about a gift so she actually got three presents. Not that she cared because she looked like this the whole time:



Yup she was my happy girl. She enjoyed her toys . . so did Mia and Matt. It's funny to see how much they enjoy other toys as much as their own. :)

The gingerbread house

Waiting for fifteen minutes . . .house needs to set. Unfortunately, even though we waited the precribed amount of time, we still had house 'issues' .







Cute kid . . .bad picture. Unfortunately every time I take a pic with Matthew an use a flash, this is what I get.

Mia's favourite part was tasting it.

The latest on . . . THE HOUSE!!!!

Here's what I'm so excited about!!! This is the kids' playroom in the basement.We talked about having it finished with the builder and he preferred not to because of the drying process the basement needed to go through. He liked to give it a year before finishing the basement. So I figured we would still use the space as a playroom albeit unfinished. Though I was bummed I understood. This picture we took on Wednesday. I figured he was just "prepping" the room for future finishing until today when we went to take pics and saw this . . .



The basement playroom was drywalled!!!! Oh my goodness I'm so excited!! I'm glad that the kids are actually going to have a nice space to have their toys in!





The house with it's newest window(second floor octagonal window :)



The back door/laundry room



The kitchen


The family room


The dinette to the right








This is what the house looks like from the back at least. We opted for red reclaimed brick as it was $10-15,000 less. I'm actually very pleased by the way it is looking!

Another cheermonger post!

I've been tagged by AJ! Thanks sweetie!! I just love these kind of posts!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? I prefer wrapping paper for the kids(nothing like seeing them eagerly ripping into presents on Christmas morning) and gift bags for pretty much everyone else. Oh but I usually do wrapping paper for most kids unless the gift is like insanely hard to wrap then gift bags. lol

2. Real tree or artificial? Definitely artificial. Actually pre-lit which in theory is a great idea but in practice . . . not so much. Hard to the find the ONE freakin bulb that blew! grrrrrrrr

3. When do you put up the tree? First weekend of December.

4. When do you take the tree down? New Year's Day

5. Do you like eggnog? I like some eggnog. I like MOST eggnog with rum. Yum!

6. Favorite gift received as a child? My Holly Hobbie Kitchen. That was the best Christmas present ever!

7. Do you have a nativity scene? I don't. We did have one growing up and I wish I had that one. I should ask Dad about it next time I talk to him . . .
8. Hardest person to buy for? Other people's kids. I never know what they have or what they want.
9. Easiest person to buy for? Matthew(he gives me tons of ideas . . . daily) Mia and Gillian. Although poor Gillian isn't getting all that much this year. Sucks to be a baby and have an older sister pretty close in age! hehehe :P

10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Todd gets me these weird appliances that I do NOT ask for and would most certainly never make my list. One year he got me this rotating brush curling iron that tangled the crap out of my hair. Oh my it was awful!

11. Mail or email Christmas cards? Oh I've been so bad this year . . . I usually mail them but I only managed to get out the ones to friends and none to family! Ummmm oops!

12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Gosh I love all the OLD Christmas cartoons like Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer and the original How The Grinch Stole Christmas. There is this one Christmas cartoon I'd love to see again but it hasn't been on in years. I think it was called 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. It was about this mouse who writes a mean letter to Santa Claus and then Santa is offended and decides not to come to his town on Christmas. The town gets the clockmaker to make this big clock that sings a song to get Santa to come back. Does anyone remember that show?

13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? With three kids now I try very hard to start Christmas shopping early. This year I started buying some things in September and got the kids all done by mid-November. However I will be shopping to the very end as I still have a lot of gifts to buy for the rest of the family.

14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? I have recycled chocolates for sure but honestly, how many boxes of chocolates does one family need?

15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? I love everything too! but I really love all the special treats everyone has been baking! I think I'm definitely going to make these Oreo balls and Peanut Butter Tartlets!

16. Clear lights or colored on the tree? Coloured!(note the correct spelling there . . . hehehe)

17. What is your favorite Christmas song? here again I have to say I just love all Christmas songs. When I was younger I used to love God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.

18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Well it really depends on whether Todd is working or not. We have spent Christmas at home on the years he worked(which really sucked) and also we have travelled to relatives on the years he didn't work. Unfortunately he works nights on Christmas Eve so he will get home at 6 am Christmas morning, stay up long enough to open presents and then sleep for a lot of the day. Bummer.

19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? Oh yeah for sure!!

20. Angel on the tree top or a star? We have a star!

21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Right now it's only on Christmas morning but in a few years who knows?

22. What I love most about Christmas? I have to agree that getting to together is the most important thing for me about Christmas. Presents are forgot but the memories of being surrounded by the love and warmth of family lasts a lifetime. :)

That was a blast!! Okay so I'm going to tag Amy, Kelly and Jessica!

Look at her eyes . . .

You can still see the evidence of tears too.

My attempt at craftiness(hehehe Kristen!)

Please excuse the fuzziness of this picture. I had to race to get my camera which was left in the van in the cold garage so it was fogging up when I started taking pics.

I made dough and was trying to get the kids to make Christmasy stuff . . . it lasted about 30 minutes so I guess I can't complain and they seemed to enjoy it! It's going to take forever to dry so we probably won't paint them until next weekend.

Yes Matthew made an army guy snowman . . . d'oh!

A boring winter's day

Today was the longest day ever! We were trapped indoors all day and not just indoors but religated to the downstairs only because Todd is on night shift so was sleeping all day. The snow was so bad I just didn't dare chance an excursion out in it.

Normally that's what we do to break up the day . . . we go out for a bit usually to a store but not always. We are always back in time for Mia's nap and then the rest of the day at home is easier to manage.

Even Gillian had a rougher than usual day but that's because she's teething like crazy and fighting a cold. Poor thing cried so much today it seemed and I was holding her most of the time too.

I managed to finally get Matthew outside to play in the snow by 4:30. He wanted to stay in his pjs all day and since we weren't going anywhere I didn't push it. He's funny. When the weekend comes around he adamantly refuses to go anywhere but by the afternoon he's asking to go out. He probably gets tired of our early morning rush and looks forwards to just chill-laxing on the weekends. I can hardly blame him.

When Todd went out to shovel, Mia was quite happy to tag along. She loves the snow! Yeah I should have taken pics but the batteries died and Gillie-bean was stuck on my hip as per usual.

Okay so if it's going to snow can you keep your fingers crossed that it continues and it's hard enough to close school tomorrow? I would actually brave the roads tomorrow to get in an impropmt to shopping trip in!

PEEK-A-BOO

I hope this video isn't too dark. Gillian is in her Jolly Jumper(I swear she LOVES that thing) and Matthew is playing peek-a-boo with her but he gets carried away as usual . . .

Make video montages at www.OneTrueMedia.com

He loves his baby sister. Can you believe this is the same kid who fell to the ground in tears when we called to tell him he has a new baby sister?? Yeah and they weren't tears of joy either! Now he is always up for some Gillie bean entertaining! hehehe

Oh and I wanted to sneak some more recent house pics in . . . I'm just getting so excited!

This is what you get . . .

when you try to coordinate three little kids to take one good picture. Yeah I took A LOT. All I wanted is ONE picture where they were all looking at the camera and smiling . . . why does that have to be so hard?!

Loose ends

Here's a pic of the kids visiting Santa's village. Mia didn't cry!! She loved it this year! Oh and Gillian looks so much like Matthew when he was a baby in this pic . . . it freaky!

I though I'd update a few things that have been kicking around although in some areas there isn't all that much to say!

Matthew:

We took him to the dr. on Tuesday and she asked us a bunch of questions and we basically outlined the issues we are having with Matthew at school. She thinks he may have a mild form of ADD/ADHD. There is such a huge spectrum and he may fall on the spectrum somewhere. She is going to refer us to a Behaviour Pedi. I didn't realize there was such a thing. Hopefully it won't be months and months before we see this person. I'll let you know.

House:

The roof is on and it's finally enclosed! Phew! the weather here is just terrible lately and it makes me feel better to know that they can start to work on the inside more regardless of the weather outside.

Gillian:

Gillian is starting to sit more consistently now but funny girl doesn't seem to like it much. Her nights are the same . . . at some point she wakes up and I bring her to bed with me. Then she either goes back to sleep or rolls around FOREVER. She's loving her foods! Well baby food anyway. Not so much Mum Mums or the mesh feeder. But she really likes her morning cereal, jar of fruit and jar of veggies! Yes, she's a big eater!

Mia:

Still not potty trained and really still not interested in it. I don't know what I'm going to do with that girl! She's growing up in so many other ways but just not this one. *sigh*

Me:

Still no af. Seems I'm not alone in this department. I tyried temping but Gillian doesn't allow me to have the proper amount of sleep. I was nauseous last Saturday and then today but actually today I am think it was more the flu because I had the ache/shakes, pounding headache, diarrhea as well as nausea. I don't have any other symptoms. No sore boobs or bloated abdomen. I guess I could test but I'm just afraid. I keep hoping af will arrive anytime. I am usually irregular but like I said before I'm actually more "regular" once af returns. Them it slowly goes back to the way it "normally" is. I'm also cheap and hate to waste the money especially if I am not pg.

Report Cards

It's report card time! Report cards have changed so much since I was in school. We used to get a general comment of maybe one sentence on our report cards. Now report cards are a lengthy- consisting of comments for every subject which should comment on strengths, needs and next steps. And there is the all important learning skills comment at the end. That one is the kicker. Gosh they are time consuming and I am not convinced parents look at more than that instantly gratifying letter grade and ignore the rest. Most report card comments consist of the edu-ese qualifying statements like "rarely", "sometimes", "usually" and "always".





Anyway being up-to-date on current report card practises I was eager to see Matthew's. I knew the behaviour stuff was going to be on there. That was a given but I hoped to see more of how his learning was progressing. Alas I was a bit disappointed. Most teachers I know have difficulty fitting all they want to say in the small space. Unfortunately Matthew's teacher doesn't have that problem.



English:

Reading B-

Writing C+

Oral and Visual Communication C+



Comment: Matthew reads independently, with regular assistance and shows significant knowledge of the text. Journal writing and spelling strategies are developing, as journal entries are getting longer. He is working on relating material read to personal knowledge and experience.



Mathematics(there are 5 strands only 3 are reported on):

Number Sense and Numeration: B-

Measurement: B

Patterning and Algebra: B-



Science and Technology: B



Social Studies: B



Health and Physical Education: B-



The Arts:

Music- C

Visual Arts - B

Drama and Dance - C+



Learning Skills Comment:

Matthew is working to complete assignments on time but sometimes requires reinstruction and cueing to stay on task. He is starting to set some goals to improve work. Printing skills, neatness, and organization skills are starting to show some improvement as his fine motor skills are limited. Matthew needs work on positive strategies to resolve conflicts at recess. He continues to work on making "good" decisions in the classroom. Matthew is helpful and enjoys the many friendships in class.







Every subject area gets a comment but I didn't include them all. I think you get the idea. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before but Matthew gets OT for some fine motor issues. He's gotten it since SK and while it's gotten better, it's still an area of concern.

I don't disagree with the actual grades. While I'd love to see all A's I am a realist. Matthew puts forth an effort on some things but not on everything. I think he will "get" reading. He's almost there. Will he be a "reader"? Hmmmm jury is out on that one. I hope he will be and he'll buck the seemingly natural course of many boys. But, like I said, time will tell.


Oh and Matt's dr. appt is tomorrow after school. I'm interested to see what she says.

Second story

So the house isn't fully enclosed yet like they said but it's close. Definitely by the end of next week. The roof was going to go on Last Friday but it was too windy. Todd is going to go on a walk through with the builder on Mnday to talk about location of switches and stuff.

If you are wondering what this is . . . Todd wanted another small garage type door put in so that a trailor could be put in the backyard instead of taking up garage space.
