Whew, I feel we need to dust the old blog off or something! I guess not blogging for a week isn't THAT bad, but I feel the posts before this were pretty quick. I was looking on the camera and seeing all kinds of pictures I'd taken that I want to share as well, so I'm going to put those on as well.

I'll start by giving you just a run down of the weekend. And then I'll be putting up various pictures and comments about them throughout the day–since the pictures seem to take longer. 

This weekend I got to go on my Reward for Being Done Teaching. I went on a weekend scrapbooking retreat. It was SO MUCH fun, I had a great time catching up with my friend Krisha, a great time eating yummy food, and of course, scrap booking! I got some great progress done on Alex's First Year book I'm doing for him. (He didn't get a baby book, just a calendar that I wrote his "stuff" on, so I'm making a first year book for him. Then I'll be back to just doing a general family book.)

James spent the weekend installing a dishwasher. Saturday he had to create the hole for it, which involved cutting out some drawers. Sunday he worked on hooking it up. There were some issues with parts not fitting and so he didn't get it done last night (the stores closed before he could get the final part he needed).  This morning he ran out and got that last part, hooked it up and I am typing as the dishwasher is washing its first load of dishes. Now my job is to rearrange the kitchen cupboards to get things in place to make unloading the dishwasher easier. AFTER I update the blog, of course!

In an effort to keep things in order (for future scrapbooking purposes) I'm going to put the next few posts below this one–so scroll down and check out what we've been up to for the last week or so!
