front steps

We finally are getting our front steps fixed. When the house was being built they poured the cement for the steps while it was raining. It doing that of course the rain ruined the pour so they later came back and put a thin layer of cement to cover it. Now the cement has been coming off in big chunks. Yesterday they came and demolished the steps and the connecting piece of sidewalk. I was worried about how Piper would react to the loud sounds. She went to sleep just before they arrived and miracle of all miracles she slept until about 15 minutes before they finished. At first every time the jack hammer started pounding her eyes would flutter and she would appear to be waking up. She stayed sleeping and was such a good little girl through the whole thing. We now have a huge hole in front of our front door and people if they want to visit have to go through the garage. Hopefully they will get the new steps in next week.

summer is here

Well I think summer is officially here. I love being out side in the warm weather and enjoying the fresh air. I am working a few hours a week for EITC interpreting for different classes. Wednesday we went for a walk over to a local non-profit organization. What a beautiful day it was to be out walking. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing, and the walk was so enjoyable.

Piper had her 2 month check up and is doing very well. She now weighs 10.5 and is 21 inches long. She is smiling, laughing, and so much fun to watch and play with. It is so amazing watching her grow and develop. Tuesday was the first time she was able to pick up and hold on to something for a moment. It was so amazing as her mother to watch her experience all those firsts. She had spit out her pacifier and then picked it up and waved it around. She loves her bath time and always hates getting out of the water. Piper is the joy of our lives and we would not change her for anything in the world.

My yard is green the flower beds have greened up and things outside look so inviting. What a wonderful world we live in that offers so many things to look forward to.

Wes is loving his job. After memorial day they can wear polo shirts to work so he has put away his white shirt and tie for a few months. What a relief to not have to wear that tie all day.

Hello blogger world

Hi,
We have now joined the world of bloggers, now what do I do with it? I have absolutely no idea. We are going to try to keep it up and let people know what is happening at the Jones house hold.
It is Mother's Day today. I in celebration of the day as a new mother was able to spend my day keeping busy. Between many feedings i had to find time to prepare and teach a Sunday School lesson, occupy a screaming baby during Relief Society, make lunch clean the kitchen and plan dinner.
