Uncle Lee comes to visit!!!


The first pic was taken yesterday, and that is a watermelon he is sitting on! He didn't quite know what to think of it; he wanted to play with it, like a ball, only it was too heavy...so sitting on it was the next best idea! LOL Uncle Lee came out today, and he took Rowan out in the peddle boat...being the paranoid mom that I am, Rowan had to put on his floaty! LOL


IN NEED OF YOUR HELP!!!

So, as it gets closer for us to move into our new house, I am a little but...uh, stressed may be a good word! Jamie and I have a full house of new, beautiful furniture in GERMANY, and the damn Army REFUSES to send it to us until OCTOBER OF '09 AT THE EARLIEST!!!!!!!! I have two children and an EMPTY house!!! I seriously want to just cry b/c there is no way we can afford to buy new furnishings for our home. Kyle is coming to live with us in ONE week! I have been searching frantically for used furniture, but if it is in decent condition, they want way too much for it. PLEASE, if you have anything that we can BORROW until next year, or something you would be willing to sell for a low price, PLEASE contact me! Here is what we still need, with the most important listed first:

couch for our livingroom (as well as other furniture for the LR, but a couch would be a great place to start!)
bed for Kyle's room
I have NO dressers for any of our rooms!
Crib and mattress for Rowan's room
book shelves

the rest, I am going to just get wherever I can for now. But these three things are most important right now!

STRESSING OUT!!!!
