Okay, no postings because nothing blog-worthy is going on around here (not even menu planning, sadly!) Hopefully this is the last week of Charlotte's splint/deadly weapon. She's going to be 18 months tomorrow! Time flies...
We may be traveling with my MIL and her exchange student tomorrow to pick up my SIL at the airport for a visit (of course, I am just there to bring the girls...)
Hubby is working a very weird schedule today, so we'll see when he gets home...
I still need to call the clinic and set up an appointment for Charlie, hopefully to get x-rays and her 18 month checkup done all at the same time.
We finally scheduled our first NFP class series...though we still don't know where we are going to have the classes...I guess worst case scenario, we do them in our house!
Payday is this Friday (which I am really looking forward to!) and we also should be getting our economic stimulus check direct deposited that day, too. This paycheck is one of the two extra ones per year (we get three pay periods this month) so, there aren't any major expenses coming out of this one...hopefully it will help put us back on track for our savings goal (probably not to where I hoped we would be--$5500 saved, but still, having the money saved up is a good thing anyway.)
Hubby's tuxedo came in the mail yesterday...he is making his 4th degree for the Knights of Columbus in June. I pinned up the pants for hemming, and now I need to decide if I dare risk his pants with my sewing skill, or if I find a seamstress to take them up.
It was a really nice day here yesterday...we spent a good chunk of it outside. Hopefully today will be nice, too...but there has been talk of snow near Denver, so we might not get such great weather today.

Eva and Charlotte: two prayers answered!
Contributors
Cast of Characters
Majellamom is a city girl turned farm wife, a Catholic convert of 13 years, and homeschooling mom of two adorable girls.
Bret K. is a farmer. Spends most of his time in a feed truck (or loader) listening to talk radio...a political and news junky, he has a college degree in Sociology with Peace and Justice and Philosophy minors. Proud owner of dumb Pug. Also blogs over at Rural Republic.
Eva is 7 and spunky. Too smart for our own good, she loves to dance and sing. She has a tendency to be very serious and very funny almost at the same time.
Charlotte is 5! She wants to be a ballerina and singer. She love princesses, and love to dance, and sing, and talk, talk, talk. Her favorite color is white because it is the color of a wedding dress.
MIL is Bret's mom. She lives a little over a mile away, drives like a maniac, and likes to be involved in everything. She's a great cook and baker, but tells me that she thought you had to fry hamburgers in butter when she got married.
FIL is Bret's dad...and boss...(el jefe) He loves his little granddaughters, and loves to buy cows. Going a little deaf, you can hear his cell phone conversations from 100 feet away.
BIL is Bret's younger brother and works with him and FIL on the farm. He's the mechanically inclined one, and actually went to college to study Ag. He's a couple of years out of college and a couple of years married. Lives about 2 miles from us.
Majellamom has several SILs...
Eldest SIL is two weeks younger than Majellamom and is Bret's first sister. Currently living in the nearest town big enough to have a Wal-Mart, she loves to play with the girls and sometimes gets extremely crafty.
Next SIL recently moved from the west coast to the east coast, but usually comes home to visit a couple of times a year. The girl's love her visits.
Final SIL is married to BIL and works in town. She loves to ride horses, plans to teach the girls to ride someday, and is the person Eva most wants to be like.
Majellamom has family too...just not as much...there's mom and dad, who live in the mountains...mom retired from teaching this year and dad is still driving down the mountain to teach. She also has an older brother, who currently lives in the house she grew up in.

The Asian seamstresses where I live do little jobs (think: repairing church dresses of little girls) for way under $10.
