homeownership

My first FULL week back to work. So far so good to have this part of my brain working again! Teddy seems fine though his tummy doesn’t love something… either drinking from a bottle or the additional formula he gets while I’m away. Jesse seems to be enjoying the time alone with Teddy. We finally got furniture for the living room so now we all have a place to sit! No rug though. Our nanny, Savannah, is working out well – I spent quite a few days with her before coming back to work but now I never see her. She has similar snack tastes to Jesse: loves soda and chips.

Another nice long weekend coming up – and we’ll have houseguests for a portion of it. Hope the weather is incredible so we can kick-off the summer on the deck and celebrate one whole YEAR in our house. Which happens to be falling apart. Two weeks ago we had to replace the water heater. And then we got the water softener up and running so we don’t lose another water heater (my skin is grateful!) – apparently hard water can corrode things. We have really hard water from our 230-foot deep well. And then the friggin dishwasher died. Awesome. At least now we can replace it with one that actually works, and I guess figure out how to pay for it all later. Jesse has become quite the handyman with the constant coaching of brother John; I act more as a safety officer, ensuring that Jesse doesn't kill himself and that the house doesn't burn down.
