Easter Sunday

Our family has had a lot to do these past weeks. There has been very little downtime and we don't leave the front door without an agenda of 3 or more things to accomplish. Well, with baby #2 due in 11 days, today was the last official day of scheduled events...and was it an event! We attended our church on a beautiful Northern Virginia day to celebrate in full force, the ressurection of Jesus. The boiling and hiding of eggs will have to happen this evening since all other disposable time was spent preparing the various extra-familial events in which we are involved. We were able, however, to snap an auto-timed photo of ourselves before we changed out of our Easter garb. Now it's time for a beautiful Easter nap!

The New Refrigerator

Well, we did it. We finally bought our first stainless steel appliance. We got an amazing deal on a returned item (returned due to a buyer who neglected to measure the available space the unit needed to fit into, thus, it was too big). Since it was in stock, they (Lowe's) were able to deliver it the very next day! Great start, huh?
Well, after it was delivered ahead of schedule on Saturday morning and plugged in, throughout the day the temperature went from 61 degrees in the unit, to 63. Our beautiful new appliance, was broken.
I am happy to report that all is operational after John, the very lovely GE repairman, visited our home this morning to fix a crack in a sealing system and added some more Freon. Lowe's has even promised to kindly replace $125 of our lost food. Thank you Nicole and Grayson (managers).
I have 15 days from date of purchasing the appliance, to purchase the additional 5-year Extended Warranty. I'll be visiting there tomorrow!

JUMP BACK: 2 Months Old

I was trying to organize and clean out our pictures/videos folder on our computer today which is currently over 20GB. We have most of them (except for the newest editions) stored on an external hard drive; I just can't seem to erase them from the computer.
I can't even imagine what will happen with Long Baby #2. I decided to give you lucky viewers a video from when Isaac was 2 months old. SO SWEET! It makes me even more excited for next month at this time when we'll have our little girl with us. I hope you enjoy it!

new discoveries

At age 2 years and one month, the bottom shelf of the pantry is no longer the best place to store chocolate chips. I wish I had a picture, but I don't. I'm sure your imagination will do an adequate job!

A day before the snow...

I think he's a natural.

Pictures of the Snow

Grandpa was visiting and left the chase lounge out. I thought it was a funny picture.
