We Are Very Boring...

Not too much going on here in the McCall house. We've had a fairly uneventful week so far. (Well, except for almost starting a kitchen fire while trying to make gravy for shepherd's pie from a pot roast I made on Saturday.) We don't have any funny stories to tell or words of wisdom or even interesting facts to impart...just same old, same old around here. Sometimes there is such contentment in the mundane.

Our house is coming along. It seems we've hit a point where there is a whole lot of little stuff going on...the trim guy is (finally) finishing up, the painter is caulking and cleaning to get ready to paint, the dirt guy is (still) scraping more dirt from the backyard to even it out and make a bigger, flatter driveway. For some reason, Brad is worried I'm going to back off the edge of the driveway and end up in the neighbor's yard. He has no confidence in my driving. I'm sure I've never done anything to make him worried! :) The only big things to be accomplished since last week are the staircase and the fireplace. I love them both!



Please notice the tiny fishing line running down the middle of the picture. Eli's fishing pole now lives in the attic at the new house and he was "fishing" off from the upstairs railing. We'll have to address that when we actually live there.

I think Phoebe is trying to get about three new teeth this week. She's been very cranky and it's hard to know why she is cranky since her vocabulary is so limited. Sometimes all I know to do is give her some Motrin and put her to bed. It certainly makes me feel better when I'm cranky. I took this picture on Sunday before church. It was good thing I did because she got ketchup on the dress at lunch and ranch in her hair!


Maybe by the next time I post, I'll have some really great story to tell!
