The House of Blues...

We've had a few house issues as of late! Thankfully, almost everything is fixed and will be in working order soon, but whew! as I was washing dishes outside in my yard with a hose yesterday, I was feeling a bit of the blues! So,last week, we had some heavy rain and our basement basically flooded. Then, the dishwasher had been making terrible sounds, was not running water and was eventually deemed broken and finally, the water to our kitchen sink was leaking and had to be turned off until Lee could obtain a part and fix it. (And I must say that I am SO very impressed that Lee can fix plumbing! Wow!) Now the basement has drained, a new dishwasher is in route from Sears this week and Lee fixed the water to the sink. I now have a new appreciation for the simple ammenities like running water and a dishwasher!

In other news, Sullivan is getting more teeth these days and is learning more and more new words all the time. She loves to name everything around her and is quite particular about where things are, how she would like them and how she wears certain things. She is responding well to time-out these days, as we are working to eliminate certain behaviors like hitting, throwing, biting.

Hope all is well at your house! More recent pictures to come!

Lee & Catie:
I am happy to hear that all is back to normal now. Thank the Lord that yours is the "House of Joy" now. Also glad to hear that Sullivan is doing and feeling well. Friends of ours recently had a problem, and didn't have running water for 1 whole week. Well, glad it's past now for them and for you. So Mr. "fix it" did a good job eh? Nice! God bless as you enjoy the rest of the week. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming pics.
