Our wonderful church family will be celebrating Caleb's birth tonight with a baby shower for us! Isn't that nice? We're hoping to receive some boy clothes, so that he doesn't have to wear Grace's pink clothes. We'll see! :-)
Luke's birthday was great! He took the day off, and we had a nice, relaxing day. I got him a guitar stand (for either his acoustic at home or his bass at church) and a Monster cable for church. Then we went shopping, and he got a nice wheelbarrow and a shovel. Manly toys. He got to use them on Saturday at our church workday and at home, where he cleaned up the yard some more.
Speaking of the yard, if anyone wants to come help plant us a lawn, you're more than welcome! It needs to be done! The weeds and grass are starting to pop up in patches, and we'd rather have a nice, green, weedless lawn. (Or as close to that as you can get by planting your own.)
We have some obstacles to planting a lawn (besides money and equipment): (1) We have a groundhog. He digs holes. I guess we could still plant our lawn, but it will have holes in it. Silly groundhog. (2 - the bigger problem) Our phone line still isn't buried. Luke called on it, and they said they'd come bury it between April and July sometime. Nice timeframe, huh? But a guy was out here yesterday marking our electrical line, so maybe that's a good sign that SBC will be here soon. Otherwise, we may have to plant around the phone line, and fill in that strip of lawn later! How sad!
I'm pretty sure we didn't say this before, so CONGRATULATIONS to Emily and Dan! They were recently engaged, and are planning a September 16 wedding! YAY! Now I'll have my first brother-in-law-in-law (two "in-law"s because he'll be marrying my sister-in-law - make sense?). We're geeked for them, and are happy to welcome Dan into the Rumley clan. (Does he know what he's getting himself into? hehehehohoho)
Well, not a whole lot more going on in our lives. Spring Splash is this weekend. All the cool kids will be there.
Bye!

i don't know what geeked means. nope. not at all. what's spring splash? sounds...springy and fun.
i'll be concerting it up this weekend at rose; "engineers in concert"...it's a school tradition. we're last :( so we have to sit through 2 hours or so of other performances. they should be good performances, but still...
you guys are cool! i wanna come up and get dirty with y'all, but i won't be up there until em's graduation. if you're still planting then, let me know and i'll come plow a field with you. :D say hi to the kiddos for me.
I don't think you want our brown thumbs in your yard, but we are at least willing helpers. Thanks for putting the boards in your driveway. That helps a lot. Wish we would win the lottery, then you would have a deck, driveway, lawn, flowers, bushes, and a finished basement. But, alas, they won't let us win.
RoundUp is the greatest gardening tool ever. Just spray it on green things and they die. It cuts out all that extra work of fertilizing, cultivating, pruning, etc. before they die.
