Not dead yet, just procrastinating

as it's been 1 month already since my last post, i tried to blurt something out last night but my browser crashed and i lost my text so procrastination won again.

i feel like not much worth mentionning has happened lately. Vivian turned 1 year old, we got her a few gifts but Owen plays more with them then she does.

She doesn't walk yet, she mastered the art of scooting on hands and knees by now and she graduated from holding 2 hands to walk to holding only 1 hand. i'm hoping the hand free deal will come soon.

we have a leaky roof, hopefully will find sufficient help soon to get the roof redone asap. and yes we still have ants. we've been making a more persistent effort at keeping the floor crumbless, don't always succede but it's getting better.

i went in town today to signe some legal papers for the sale of the house and hand the keys over. i think our lawyer is funny. he calculated the split of money up and as much as i'd like the extra money, couldn't believe it to be true. he then added up the figures and it didn't work but he assured us he would end up making it work. i guess it did, he's the one with the calculator and the big salary hehe. so 2 more days and we'll have the funds to start renovating, yay!!! although at time i'm wondering if we'll need to borrow more to take care of the most important repairs.

so far, we have met a family that live 1 km up the street a few times. very nice talking to them, they have a 5 year old boy who seem to get along quite good with our 3 year old. i wish we had more time to visit them. and finaly one day, i had to chasse Owen, who had decided to cross the street and gave me an occasion to say hi to our front neybours. it took sometimes to have first contact with them but now that it's done, we've had more occasions to chat and experience their eagerness to help.

I feel very blessed to have neybors like them. so far, he has cut down the front ceaders that were against the house that i had started cutting branches the hard way. he lent us his ride on mower so we could get the whole lawn cut in one day as oposed to part of it in a week or more. and helped Andy get the big bay window out of the van and stored by the garage. full of usefull advice and info, i am very gratefull for having good neibors like them. i feel less anonimous and a sense of belonging to the comunity building up. hopefully we'll be able to return the favor and contribute to the livelyness of the area.

i guess i better go to sleep now, as i'm dead tired and often feel brainless. nighty nite all and hopefully that procrastinating mood will fade away soon
