our past week or so

we've been busy! we had a lot of stuff happening at fellowship: green meeting, green movie night - during which i won a prize for my fused plastic bag creation. it was a place mat. we've had some building dreams meetings and finally unveiled the first plans to the congregation. if all goes as planned, this time next year we will be finished with all construction. that will be so cool!

colin is almost done with his newest website, for PTMW. it's great! he's taught himself some new cool flash for this one. his good friend eric padilla got married last saturday. we got a chance to hang out with some of his friends, including gravy, rusty and elaine. we don't see a lot of our pre-baby friends much.

we went to the farmer's market last week. i'm hoping to plant our garden this week. i had grandiose plans of starting my seeds inside this year, but i couldn't figure out how to keep the cats out of them. oh well. our rosemary, onions, strawberries and mint are already back. we're planting basil, cilantro, parsley, carrots, green beans, dill and marigolds. the marigolds are supposedly to help keep the rabbits away. we'll see.

colin finished my clothes line. i haven't broken it in yet, but i feel the day will be here soon! i'm really excited. liam loves being outside. we like to rock on the porch swing together and take walks in the neighborhood after dinner. last night we walked over to colin's mom's house. it only took about 20 minutes or so. we used the stroller and liam fell asleep on the way home. he's totally crawling now! it's really cute. he's still not completely proficient, but it's just a matter of time.

i started watching baby willow for the marables this week. she is so stinkin' cute! it's a little taxing. since liam is still practically exclusively nursing, it gets a little dicey at times. i don't know how people with twins do it!

finally, our most exciting news this week is this:
this is colin's father's day present. it's a cordless electric mower. no more gas here, thank you! it is being delivered today. we still have to go buy a little storage shed for it to live in. his old mower was a manual push reel mower. he said the other men in the neighborhood made fun of him. it is a great mower, but only if you use it all the time. colin's stoked to have a bag so he can feed our compost all of our grass clippings.

we're putting colin's car in auto trader next week. i'll post some pics after we get it all detailed. it's a great car and i don't think we'll have any problem selling it. we don't have to rush, so we can wait on a good offer. then, look out, sallie mae! you're next ;)
