things have been so busy, this week especially! We went to my sisters and cut down a tree that was up right next to their house on sunday, well, I didn't actually help cut it down, but I did pray hard while it was falling and then help split and stack, it was so nerve racking, It was too close to falling on their house. It did fall on the well cover and cracked it, but that is a cheaper fix than the house. Hubby and I have been working hard at splitting and stacking our own wood! Trying to get ready for the dreaded winter. We had a sad Tuesday as we had to put our 5 year old american staffordshire terrier to sleep. that is never easy! She was our kid. I feel so bad for my rottie mix, she is so lonely without her, as are we! Hubbys sister is home from Arizona for a few days so its trying to find time to get together with her! And our church has the annual winter coat drive this saturday, so I have been VERY busy helping sort and set up clothes and coats! People are SO generous with donations. It is such a blessing! My daughter got her shots (a total of 5 needle pricks) and that was so hard, although she did better than I did! She is a whopping 9lbs 7oz. YEAH! Still not average on the growth chart, but MUCH closer! She is growing like a weed and for the most part is a happy healthy baby! She does have an occasional cranky day, but hey, don't we all? And so far we are still able to avoid medicine for the reflux, she has good and bad days but the cereal is helping, we thank God for that!
Have had company 1 day for lunch and 1 day for supper, that was fun, is nice to be able to spend time with friends I never got to see when I was working 2 jobs, but I do miss the friends I hardly ever get to see now that I'm not working! Hubby has been working a lot of overtime which we are thankful for seeing as home owners and car insurances are due next month. (YUCK!)
I also just bought 2 bushel of apples to can, make applesauce and apple pie filling out of. Gotta find some time in there to do that! My other sister and brother in law is adding on majorly to their house so hubby has been up there helping as well. Time is flying so quickly! I can't believe the holidays are just around the corner! I worried about being bored when I quit, boy did I worry for nothing! It's great! we are so blessed!
