Well, hello there!
I feel like I should introduce myself! It's been an absolutely insane summer of non stop working on our house. I am so glad and relieved to say our house is done (for the most part), and we can finally relax a little and enjoy what's left of the summer. I'm hoping to start getting the blog caught up a bit, and also get caught up on reading other blogs!

Conversation
I spent almost two hours this morning (while Jaymes was napping) pulling all the weeds in our landscaping and trimming bushes (I'm addicted to trimming our bushes and have to do it every other week, don't ask me why!). While I was out there, Isabella stood there the entire time and chatted my ear off. The entire conversation revolved around this:
Isabella: Did you know I have kids, I have A LOT of kids, so many kids I had to sell my car and get a van.
Mommy: Really!? What are your kids' names, and just how many do you have?
Isabella: Well, I have like one, two, three kids. Their names are Cindy, she's a baby. The next one's name is Microphone, and the other one is Shotsy.
Mommy: Those are some interesting names!
Isabella: Well, you know I really didn't name them that, their Daddy wanted to name them that, and I was like, well okay, if you say so!
Mommy: Their Daddy is your husband I hope! What's his name?
Isabella: Yes, he's my husband, his name is Monte of course! He helps me with them when he's not at work, but you know I just have SO many kids, it's really hard for me to take care of them! Plus, you know, I have a granddaughter too! She's four. Anyway, all my kids had to go to the doctor today for checkups. And excuse me ma'am, but don't you have a baby? Because if there's ever anything wrong with him, I can fix him. Well, you know, I'm not a doctor, though, just a fixer lady.
Finally after about an hour of talking about her kids, she realized she left them all in her van! So I had to go check on these imaginary kids in her imaginary van. Thank goodness they all seemed okay since she did remember to leave the air conditioning on!
I really need to stop and remember these one on one moments with her more often. It was so much fun.
