New furniture


We finally got the rest of our new furniture this week. We LOVE it! It's so comfortable and warm feeling. We also ordered a modern piece of artwork to hang above the couch. As soon as we get that, we can pick out curtains and paint. We're very excited! The house definitely has a nice "warm" feeling to it. We can't wait for people to come down or out to visit. (especially our family members... hint, hint!!)

We also are enjoying our online subscription to Blockbuster. It's VERY nice. We especially like the fact that we can go into Blockbuster and exchange the movies. That way, we don't have to wait for them to receive it. Plus, we get a free coupon every month to rent either a game or another movie for free. We've found that we've been watching more movies lately. That's probably the only downfall of these types of things. You want to make sure you get your money's worth but you don't want to spend all your time in front of the TV.

This week has been so nice outside. Gretchen picked Zach up from school, came home and took him on a nice long bike ride. He has 2 bikes to ride. One is for kids just learning how to ride and he has another that is a regular bike with training wheels. We've been really trying to get him to ride the bigger bike. The more he rides it, the less scared of it he will be. He did it. He was on the bigger bike a good bit around the neighborhood. Then, Gretchen fixed him a sandwich and chocolate milk so he could have something to eat and drink while she took him on a wagon ride. He LOVED that. It's so nice to be home during the day while all the kids are at school and while there isn't as much traffic going through the neighborhood. Now, we just can't wait to get a fence. :)

You have been busy making that house a home! It must look realy nice!

We've found that with the online rental stuff, you get to a point where you have caught up on all the movies you want to see. We are about to drop down to one at a time. Usually we just have the rentals in the Winter time anyway.

Spring is finally here for us! HOORAY! I think we are having weather later this week more typical of what you have year round.
