round two......

yes it is true
the rumor of that plump woman walking with sadie is pregnant
we are on to round two!
what can i say we thought sadie needed a puppy to play with but than say hey why not a little brother or sister?
so now the blog has turned into
pregnant/sadie lovin/horror house repair stories!
had to keep our reading audience in tranced enough to stay with us through another3000 pictures of BABY!
aaron, sadie and i are very very excited and the nice thing is we have ALL the baby containment untis so we do not need to rush with that nor do we have to put walls up
that means a relaxing mellow pregnancy right?
so here is the story:
i am about 18 or 19 weeks to be honest i continually loss track but we find out next week if its a boy or girl
which means we will have a valentine day baby!
how fun is that!
sadie is totally excited and understands
she kisses my belly every night and says baby she also loves to zerbert but i think that is for her own amusement and not her siblings though when #2 comes out he/she will be expecting non-stop zerberts for sure
so what are we doing to prepare for the non-stop bonniewood love fest?
well we are still waiting to re-roof the garage since we have had all these storms come through poor aaron and bumpa got to skip two weekends of working on the house
they were so sad......
we have a shopping list started for IKEA which means organization and de-cluttering galore
so if you have been to the house and have been eye balling an item please let me know you more than likely can have it except for sadie she's not up for grabs we like her and want to keep her around
we have a long list of little things: curtains for the entire house now that we have windows we need curtains right? we need to do some touch up painting here and there
mimi is working on the mural which has been a joy to watch as a butterfly or bunny rabbit peeps out behind the furniture
yes i am still in school and will be waddling to classes and fingers crossed i will only take a week off in feb after #2 arrivals
GOT TO FINISH
i don't want to be labeled one of those never ending students
so get this....
just b/c we love to keep things interesting here i will be starting yet another new job in oct
yes you heard it here first
i think i worked the shortest amount of time on a job ever 5 months to move onto a gov job working for the federal reserve bank of cleveland as yes the project coordinator of public information....what does that mean
i will be testing people on what they think of the website and coming up with solutions by studying the analytical data
sounds fancy doesn't it....
well it has good benefits really really good benefits and we are a growing family in need of good benefits.....
on the sadie agenda: she is speaking lots and lots and not gibberish she says bean, rain, woof, pea, mommy (non-stop), corn.....do you see a food theme here?
she is growing up so fast it is amazing
so that is the news on the bonniewood street front.....
we will be shopping for no not a mini van but a station wagon so if anyone is interested in a really cool sports car let us know.....we are offering a good deal: new tires, new exhaust, a little attitude, a really good price and of course you will look cool
enjoy the days

the world of elmo and beyond

the trip to RI went well
sadie went swimming or actually jumping in the ocean and saw a hermit crab
she played in the sand and watched her cousin emily eat sand
the flight went smoothly no issues except sadie is getting a little big to be curling up into anyones lap for a nap so she spread out across both our laps for a short nap back
overall the trip was short but lots of fun
sadie learned or started to learn about sharing and we have discovered she is not really ready to share when it comes to elmo









might not happen for many many years.......
lets see.....we flew on a plane, played in the ocean, squealed miro and nelson (grandma & grandpa's dogs) and we ate a lot of corn....not bad for a labor day weekend
whats going on now:
well i am back in school and the nice thing is i only have to show up for two classes which means no LONG LONG drive though i did get a really good book on tape so i sort of bummed
aaron and paul are ripping the roof off our lean toooooo this weekend and i know they are excited!
than maybe than we can start addressing some of the interior issues like......well you know the long list no need to repeat it
the sun is setting earlier and the air has a crisp edge to it in the eve but we still take our walk to the lake every night to collect rocks and "lake" glass
this has been a good summer but we are looking forward to fall
big antique tractor show, bbq barnyard bash with square dancin and the works and a corn fest!
sadie is growing up so quickly it is hard to watch
she can say: bean, pea, corn, woof or arf, meow, bumpa (which she likes to scream) bubba (for aaron) and a few more which i can't remember
anyways i have updated the pictures www.bristolarts.com/sadie
with probably 100 some more exciting fun filled action shoots of sadie on the go so enjoy
until next week

architect?

not much going on here.......
just the usual work, sleep, eat and lots and lots of laundry......
aunt heidi and robert came through town this week and got to play with sadie which was great fun
sadie told them ALL about elmo and sang them the elmo theme song and read them her elmo book
you noticing an obsessive quality..........
anyways aside from that mimi has been coming over to the house and working on the mural
sadie has taken to paints herself and enjoys painting the floor, the stairs, the mirrors just about everything
good thing our house is brightly colored and has various patterns of splattered paint throughout
this weekend we are heading to RI to visit cousin emily and country grandma & grandpa
so until than enjoy the weekend
eat some corn put your feet up and relax it is labor day weekend
ps. last night sadie woke up at 3:00 am and declared in a very loud voice that it was time to dance with that she starting clapping her hands and dancin'.....maybe not architect perhaps we have a dancer?
