21 Weeks Today: Friday April 4th

Dear 21st week.... YOU SUCK!

OK, lemme apologize in advance for the no pic this week as we have been a lil' pre-occupied to say the least with this house of ours! It being an older home, we knew there would be updates we needed to make and trust me we had a long list. We've done pretty well with our allowed budget from the beginning but the ONE thing we "splurged" on was our hard wood floors! Beautiful "hand scraped" true wood floors all over the house and up the stairs...

Yea, that lasted about 3 days before a good ol' copper pipe in the kitchen busted on a Saturday morning. I was walking downstairs to take Cooper out and heard a "SHHHHHhhhhhhhhh". My first though was a window was left open and it was the sound of our palm trees swaying in the morning breeze! I then basically had to swim to my kitchen (ok... lil dramatic, but not really) Let's just say Niagara Falls was filling my my kitchen/living room/front walkway with 3 inches of water.

Yall.. WATER can do some DAMAGE! So of course I yell for Tyler and we spend the next couple days ripping up and drying out wood floor. Then, as if it wasn't bad enough comes the insurance claims, industrial fans, water vacuums and my favorite.. MOLD

With having to deal with all that, at the end of the day we have to remember: We are Alive, We are Healthy, We still have a roof over our head and food on the table..

(even if that means outside on a TV tray)

So we ended the day with love and snuggles from our first child, Brownley "COOPER" Clay Holmes!

I'm pretty sure he knows somethin' is up and things are about to drastically change. He won't be the "only child" anymore, but the BEST big brother ever!
