Well -- never a dull moment here, as you already know! The last couple of weeks have been busy. Ryan coming home with all of our CA belongings was a mess, the girls' dance recital was a laborious yet worthwhile event, my van has had ongoing but finally resolved issues, and I've been having some strange stress & allergy-related medical issues that have resulted in my being banned from putting anything cosmetic on my face or hair for three weeks til I (1) get allergic reactions under control and (2) get back in for a patch test to see what I'm allergic to. At least my tension headaches seem to be gone for now.
Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
SO NOT THRILLED about going make-up-less and hair-dye-less. I feel like an old lady hag. But, it's better than my eyelids looking like they had third-degree burns! (Did you know that regardless of what kind of product you're allergic to, even shampoo, etc, it is most likely to show up on your eyelids?)
The good news of course is that Ryan started his new job last Monday and that seems to be going well. It is strange but nice to have him around and the kids are a bit confused. Ava can't figure out where he is and what he's doing and if we're getting in the car to pick him up at the airport, or what. :)
==============================================
My girlies in their stage make-up, ready to head out for the recital!

In my old hag glory:
My attempt to get the queen bed frame from my bedroom to the new guest bedroom without taking it apart hit a bit of a snag:
(This one's for Misty!)
Upcoming projects: painting girls' bedroom, putting girls' beds together and rearranging/organizing their bedroom, getting the fence up in the backyard, and getting Ava's birthday present built -- a backyard playhouse! Many projects to follow all of that, but that'll keep me busy for now. :-D
Wow! Delaney looks just like you! I didn't know about your allergic reactions. Hope you get it all under control! Let me know if you need anything! Hugs!

A suggestion for the playhouse... big open spaces in the walls so that little persons don't suffocate in the lovely warm of most of the year in Kyle and oriented so that you can keep an eye on the play from your windows... oh... to look like that kind of hag... ;-)
