At Long Last!


Sittin' pretty

This duck tastes great mom! Do you have the recipe?
So it's been a little while since I've posted. It seems that life has gotten in the way once again. Things have finally settled back down and are slowly returning to normal. Jon has been travelling extensively for the past 6 weeks and is home with us until the end of the school year in May. Grandma Ann came up for a visit a few weeks ago- pictures to be posted in the near future. There really isn't much news except for me getting a hair cut- same style just hadn't been cut in 8 months (I was still pregnant at the time) so I was in desperate need of a trim. I also went out and got some fantastic new jeans and got to get out of the house without little miss Geagen to have a child-free shopping trip with my friend Dawn. Jon picked out some new glasses and I'm doing the same on Tuesday. I did a little bit of browsing the selection already and can't decide between a swirly magenta pair or black and white glasses with cut-out temples.
It's kind of sad when you think that as busy as we have been that we probably lead the most boring life in existence. Today for example Jon and I read the ads for the local case-lot sales at the grocery stores and debated the merits of various types of food for our food storage as well as comparing prices. As if that wasn't stimulating enough we took apart our vacuum together since it wasn't working this evening. We discovered that with our purple dyson you're supposed to wash the filter every 6 months. We didn't get the memo- it'd never been cleaned in the 2 years we've had it. We also went to our niece Mikayla's 8th birthday party in Boise yesterday and took advantage of the opportunity to do a little shopping while we were at it. We ended up getting a new stereo so we can plug in Jorge (the ipod) and also listen to the radio with both speakers. Our old boom-box was dying a slow death one speaker at a time. We also looked at cordless phones and answering machines (you didn't believe me when I said boring did you?) and had no idea of all the complexities involved in making such a purchase- multiple handsets?, digital or analog?, color display? It was ultimately decided that it would be best to put off said purchase until more research had been completed. So that's our a life in a nutshell. More to follow as it unfolds.
