Random Stuff

Since it's been a few days, here are some here-and-there thoughts:

• The bathroom is finally working!!! I moved all my stuff in last night, though it kind of felt weird to be using it again. The one plus of the other bathroom is that when I'm getting ready in the mornings, I can keep an eye on the boys and make sure they aren't escaping downstairs without me. But...nothing beats a bathroom attached to your own bedroom. It also made me think how excited the family in the Dominican Republic will be once their new home is completed in just over a week.
• On one of the blogs I read, a mom shared that she brings in snow from the outside and lets her kids play with it in the kitchen sink which occupies them for quite some time. With the abundance of snow and low energy on my part, this seems like a great idea.
• Brie started her music/singing class this week. Will look forward to May when we can see what she's been learning.
• Luke is starting to make himself understood much more...it's great being able to understand exactly what he wants, to hear him "singing" the lyrics to his favorite songs (the "yellow" Veggie Tales CD is his current favorite) and reading Brown Bear, Brown Bear
• Dave now has an office with a window and heat
• Reese has been in mischief mode lately - probably too much time in the house, so I'm praying he'll be able to be at school two days a week for the next several weeks (the past few weeks he missed a day for various reasons)
• We've been watching video footage of the kids on our video camera - all three are getting a kick out of seeing themselves as wee wee ones. We realize Luke has so gotten gipped out of the camera spotlight, but then, when you have three, Dave and Irealized, it's really hard to train the camera on one child for more than 30 seconds at a time.
• We can't wait to see everyone at the wedding - praying God is getting all the snow out of the way before the big week.
