Catching Up

I'm sorry that I have not been posting very much lately. Here is just a quick update on some of the things we have been up to. Charlotte had her 18 month check up a week and a half ago. She weighs 27 lbs 2 oz (85%) and is 31 1/4 in tall (50%) and her head is 19 1/4 in (upwards 97%). My kids heads have always been big but I kinda laughed to myself at that measurement. I just measured her chest to make her a dress, her chest in 20 inches!

Clint and Lyndon have been doing a lot of yardwork. They cut out all the big bushes out of our front and back yard and decorated the sidewalk with some lovely chalk. They also raked up 14 bags of leaves! We now have a couple of tomato plants and a bell pepper plant growing in some pots out front. I'm very excited for them to grow!

I've had a lot of fun selling things on Craigslist. We have done it before in Lubbock, but it was not the same in Dallas. After 30 minutes of posting things, my inbox was flooded with a little over 50 emails! I guess if you are just wanting to get rid of stuff and selling them for super cheap you'll get a lot of hits. I sold our old bedroom suite (that was in the guest bedroom), our old tv, 3 old ceiling fans and an old chandelier. It was fun, and now I walk around the house wondering what else I can sell.

Clint strained his back pretty bad 2 weekends ago. He previously had been lifting heavy boxes (see previous post) which had left him sore. A week later, Saturday, he was home with just the kids and went to stand up from the fireplace hearth and collapsed from pain. I was out getting my hair cut and did not come home until an hour and a half later. I found him on the couch unable to move. Lyndon got goldfish down for him and Charlotte for lunch. He also got Clint his cell phone and took care of him. He was Daddy's big helper while I wasn't there. Clint ended up missing work on Monday and Tuesday before he was able to walk again. He received a blessing and was able to also go the the doctor and chiropractor and is doing much better now. Thank goodness!
