E-I-E-I-O...

Matt and I are starting to think we bought our house on the property of a "drive-through zoo." While we know that really isn't true, we have had our fair share of animal encounters! On 3 separate occasions driving in to the hospital Matt met animals in the middle of the road...first, a bunch of turkeys; second, a deer; and third (and by far the best), a COW! Plus, two nights ago I was driving into the city of Greenville and almost hit several geese and their babies! I have to mention that when my parents lived in this area several years ago my mom found a pig in their front yard. What is it with South Carolina and wild animals?
On another note, I took this picture of Dane this morning trying very hard to pull to stand. He gets up on his feet, then tries to bounce so he ends up plopping on his bottom. He is on the move! What am I going to do when they are both tearing up my house!


So, Matt just finished up a 70-hour week. Yesterday was a 16-hour day! Nuts! We are still looking for someone to paint the interior of our house and I am hoping that someone will give us a quote that DOESN'T make me pass out! We are not at all used to hiring out for projects, but as you can see with Matt's schedule nothing is going to get done if we don't. As for the fence, they tried to adjust it today to fit what our HOA wants. In our opinion they made it worse, so we are still dealing with that mess. Hope you are all having a great weekend. My goal is to just get to the grocery store :)

Hey Beth, I don't know if there are Safeway's in South Carolina, but if there are, they deliver! I've been ordering my groceries online at night, and they are delivered the next morning! The first delivery is free after that they send coupons in your email and so you can usually get free delivery. If no coupons are available, it is totally worth the $10.00 delivery fee so I don't have to take three kids to the store. Hope this helps as you settle into your new home.
