Life Update...

I must aplologize for my lack of posts this week. (ah yes...the obigitory blogger's apology) My official excuse is that my digital camera's battery died, and I lost the charger (but I do have the camera on my phone, so that's not a great excuse). My husband also took a vacation week, and we were doing lots of household stuff, so I didn't get a whole lot of crafting done.

One thing that happened this week was that we finally got a stove/oven on Tuesday! We have been living without a stove/oven since we moved to this house in August. The house didn't come with any appliances and the appliances we had in the apartment belonged to our landlord. So for the past 7 months, we've been using a hot plate, toaster oven, rice cooker, crock pot, and other various appliances to cook our meals. You'd be surprised how well you can do without a stove/oven. But now we have one! Yay! I can bake again! I really missed baking during the winter...particularly around Christmas.
CJ also got me a new kitchen faucet (you can kind of see it in the first picture)...which makes doing the dishes a little bit less of a pain, since the faucet is a lot higher than the old one. And it's a whole lot prettier.

On Friday my Mom had a doctor's appointment in the morning that my Dad had to drive her to, so they both had the day off from work. So after Mom's appointment, Mom, Dad, and King all came out to visit. We decided it was okay to let King get on the couch. He's such a snuggler. Anyone who says all Rottweilers are mean and scary needs to see this picture!

Finally, here's a picture I took today of my friend Kim's week-old little girl with one of my Monster-Ear hats on. She's such a little peanut (6 pounds!) and the hat fit her perfectly!
It's so hard to believe that a week ago she was still in the womb!

So, that is my week in phone-camera taken pictures. I did find my camera's battary charger today (it was on my craft room floor...I don't know why, but I'm blaming the cat. She tends to jump up on my desk in the craft room and bat things around. Sometimes I'll find sweater scraps in the hallway upstairs). Hopefully I'll have more to blog about this week!
