I like mulch

Here is the exciting News!!!

Blake accepted a job offer from Xerox! We are both excited! The job is in Oregon!

Crazy business!

So we are preparing our house to put up for sale. (Isn't it funny how quickly you can get tasks done with a quick deadline?)

Today we purchased mulch for our yard and gravel for our large dry well and side yard.

Blake did all the gravel. The sound of rock being scraped with a shovel into a wheel barrow reminds me of nails on a chalkboard. So I let Blake get to work while I entertained the babster. I got to shovel and spread the mulch. It was fun.

This evening as I was pushing a wheel barrow of mulch into the backyard and Blake was on a blanket with Sarger, and our next door neighbor follows me into our backyard with a wheel barrow filled with mulch. That was so nice of him! He helped us get all the mulch into the flower beds for over an hour. I like how he just pitched in without even asking if we needed help.

It brings a point up: How many times after visiting/home teaching do we ask the phrase "I there anything I can do for you?" And the recipient answers no and then I leave with nothing done. I want to jump into service.

Anyways,

Tonight I feed baby Sarger a new solid food: sweet potato. The verdict: I think he liked it, he didn't not like it.

He is turning 6 months in a few days... Where did the time go? It takes a million years to get pregnant and wait for the nine plus months. Then wham! After the baby gets here time flies (I like that part).

Ok I know this is going to sound crazy, but tonight is the first night I put him in his crib in his own room. Our pediatrician told me to have him sleep in our room for the first 6 months to prevent SIDS.

As I am writing this blog post on my phone its weird that I can't just look over at my sleeping boy.

At least I can see him on my tv screen and he's sleeping like a baby. Goodnight!
