It has been a fairly uneventful week around here.
My classes have really picked up speed, so they've been keeping me pretty busy. I'm several weeks in, but still trying to drill in good habits with my homework (and still struggling to stay on task - a lot). It has been a little difficult to stay focused and just knock them out. When I remember that this could be my last big semester, though, it encourages me to stick with it!
We have enjoyed watching several of the teens in the youth group in their various activities lately. A couple of them wrapped up basketball season, softball and baseball are starting up, and we even caught a few track events yesterday. We've enjoyed getting to go to their games and watch them (and if I'm being honest, watching the softball games makes me want to get out there and play again!).
I made homemade butter this week. I had seen tutorials online about how easy it was, so I thought I'd give it a shot. It is ESPECIALLY easy if you have a KitchenAid mixer (no, I didn't do it the old-fashioned way!). I didn't notice a big difference in taste, but it was kind of neat to make our own.
Matt is close to being finished with the dresser he is fixing up for the nursery. The weather hasn't been very cooperative for finishing up (either too cold for the paint and/or stain, or rainy). There are chances of rain through the weekend, but I'm hoping it holds off and leaves a few hours so he can finish up. It looks BEAUTIFUL and I am so proud of him. I'm excited to share before and after pictures on the blog once it is finished. Now I'm trying to convince him to work on another piece to match... I should confess that I've been guilty of giving him sweet eyes and saying, "The baby would love it... knowing her dad fixed these up for her." Is it bad that I'm already using this baby to get what I want??? :)
Nothing much new to report about the pregnancy. We go back to the doctor next week to check on the baby's growth, so you can all be praying that she's growing at a good pace just to avoid any concern.
I guess I haven't done an update on Penny lately! That stinker has started climbing the fence again. She quit doing it for a while after Matt caught her and blew an air horn at her (she is pretty sensitive to loud noises) but she is back at it. I think Matt spent a good chunk of his morning today hiding and waiting for her to try to climb over, and of course she didn't even try today. She got out a little over a week ago and when we got home, we saw her out in the field behind our house staring up a tree as focused as could be. We called her back home and she looked at us, then the tree, then at us, then finally decided she'd come back home (though she really seemed to have a put out look on her face for us pulling her away from whatever she was chasing). Thankfully she doesn't go far when she gets out, but we still worry about her since there is a busy road nearby. I'll try to get a few pictures of Penny for a later update.
So that's our life right now. Nothing too exciting has happened in the past week.
