JUST CHECKING IN

It's been a busy couple of weeks.  Shelby and Mike are now completely moved in, and our "expanded" family seems to be doing well.  A few minor problems, but overall things are going smoothly.

We just found out that our older daughter Susan (Shelby's mom) will be moving in with her boyfriend about 5 miles from us.  Ashlie will finish the school year where she's going now, but will have to transfer next year.  I know she's not going to be happy about that, but there's nothing she can do about it.  She'll make new friends - it will just take a little bit of time.  Shelby had to make that adjustment when she moved in with us in her junior year and she did just fine.

Panda news - Lun Lun is now taking baby Po into the dayroom each morning.  She's been putting him in the hammock for nursing sessions and to nap.  He's starting to walk more too.  Now that the weather here is getting nicer, I see a zoo trip on the horizon.  Look at how cute mom and baby are:


I had a therapeutic deep tissue massage on my lower back and neck a few days ago.  It hurt, but seemed to help some.  I can actually turn my head a little further to each side.  I'm going back for a longer massage, mainly on my lower back.  This time I'm taking some Aleve before I go!

I posted a while ago about Donna's bathroom renovations.  It's slowly coming together.  They finally got the mirrors off the wall and will be doing the grout on the floor tomorrow.  Then some drywall repairs, baseboard and quarter round installation.  The vanities then will need to be installed, after some plumbing detours are made.  Painting and shower doors - and it will all be finished.  It turned out to be a much more involved project than Donna had expected and she has to rely on outside help to get it finished.

I guess that's about all that's been happening around here.  What's new in your neck of the woods?

I do love hearing about Po's progress.

I do love to hear about your progress too, I might add :)

Oh Lynne, Po is so cute!! I haven't seen a picture of him in a while. I love the hammock nursing and nap sessions-too cute!

Glad things are working out with Shelby and Mike living there.

Take care!
