I'm breathing again :)

Finally--Thursday wasn't nearly as busy as the past week has been. It feels good to breathe again ;)
Ben has learned to crawl up & reach high for things. (notice Emmalee "loving" him)
Look Mom--I can kneel. All by myself!!
What is on this chair? The newspaper--I want it!!

Rusty took this morning off--and he wasn't sick! He rarely takes any time off, unless he is "in bed" sick!

Why did he take time off???




His pigeons came this morning!


I haven't taken any pictures of our pigeons yet, so these are just from the Internet. But he got 2 pairs--black & white ones & tan/yellow ones.


They are part of his "mid-life crisis" projects--to go with his bird dog he hopes to get this summer.

So what did I do today??? (Besides breathing). I did a couple loads of laundry, put away all the clean clothes, put some groceries away, and cleaned out our freezer shed. We have a chest freezer in one of our shed (it was supposed to be a workshop, but has food storage in it), and we needed to make room for an upright freezer.
That freezer has been in Grandpa's bunkhouse (our back yards connect, so it is really convenient to go to Grandpa's freezer to get our food). Grandpa has 2 freezers--one that they use, and one that I started out using just a couple of shelves, but then Grandpa said since they only need room for 2 of them, we could use the freezer for our family.
So we packed all the food into coolers, moved the freezer to the backyard, defrosted it, and then moved it into our "freezer" shed. Then I took a break to watch "Survivor" and then re-stocked/cleaned/organized both freezers.
It looks great! (Too bad my house isn't clean & organized like the freezers & the shed).
Friday is another day in town--Ethan has physical therapy for his knee, and then he will help watch Benjamin while I shop, shop, shop (and fill up our freezers).
