We are doing bits & pieces on our house every day.  We’ve taken down trees & bushes, swept & mowed, cleaned and installed stuff.  The house is looking better, but we often sit back and wonder how the former owners were able to live in the house the way it was, for so many years.  Isn’t it normal to like things to be kept nice & in good working order? 

Elizabeth is loving her new surroundings.  We can see her getting stronger every day…. she’s starting to kinda scoot around the floor a bit.  Also, we’ve started saying “nananana” and today, we’ve noticed the occassional “dadada” and “mamama”.  Yesterday, Paul looked over to see her having a full on conversation with her toys.
