Hey Everyone!!

Figured I'd drop a few lines again. Nothing to exciting going on here as usual. I put Daniels resume online on monster.com and the very next morning he got a phone call and went to work last week. Only bad thing is hes working in Chesapeake VA which is about 2 hours from home. The company is giving him 100$ a day predeme though to pay for a hotel room and food. Also he got a phone call today from Local 72 I think it is (the Norfolk Local) and they are gonna let him join that ironworkers local. Its a good distance from here but the pay scale is higher. Which means we might just go ahead and get the hell out of here. :D Ain't nothing holding me here.

I've started Crocheting again. This time Im making Ean a baby blacket and I doing it with Granny Squares. Since Im still learning Im just gonna stick to White and Blue checkered blanket. Well see how it turns out. I only have about 6 squares made in Blue and I need 20 of each color. It looks like I can get about 4 squares made a skein so my guess it its gonna take me 5 skeins of each color. I've already about used two up. Anyways I'll post a picture of that when I get done with it.

I said this year I wasn't gonna plant near as much as I did last year but I think I lied. I have planted quiet a bit and then on top of it in my long flower bed I still have Sweet Williams from last year that are taking over half of the bed and then of course my two rose bushes.  Then I looked today and in my crappy little flower bed I have Zinnia coming up so I guess some seed from the plants hit the ground last year. Also I have those damn Chinese Lanterns coming up. I plucked all of those though cause they are invasive and I don't wanna be combating them for years and years to come.

Looks like were gonna have a garden again this year. Dad tilled the garden area and I planted a crap load of veggies in my starter cups.  Oh Oh and guess what else. We're finally gonna have grapes this year. Its been two years since we planted the vines and finally this year we're getting little grapes. Now its time to build the grape arbor. Also my strawberries are doing good this year and Im finally getting strawberries. My Rasberry plant has spung up two more plants beside it and Im getting rasberries on the mother plant. And the blueberry is finally producing blueberries. Yay!!

Maybe our soil isn't as bad as I thought after all. Now if I could just keep the birds from picking the stuff. So far I haven't had a problem with it but we faught the birds alot last year.

Ahh hrmm what else...

Ean is doing good. Hes now saying Pa Pa for his passy and his granddaddy. He says Bowl, Juice, Dye Dye for Bye Bye, Hey, Thank you (its not real clear though) ease for please, Mama and Dada of course, Kiss for Kris the neighbor, He can say ulie for Julie, erri for sherri, katie comes out pretty clear, not sure how he says Emily but he does say it, Grandmama is still a work in progress cause he comes out as just mama. I put all this down so that I can have something to count what he sez and kinda see his progress. Hes not a real talker he only says things when I tell him to. He still chooses to whine instead. He isn't afraid to say Mama, Dada, Juice and Bowl on his own though.  Thats one way to win Eans heart is with Food. If hes outside and I can't get him to come in without a fit all I have to say is lets go get some food or peanuts(thats his favorite) and hes more than happy to come right in the house. Hes so funny when it comes to food. Hes a hog! Hes a weird kid anyways.

Oh I got his blood work back again for his lead testing and it was at a 7 again which is high but not high enough for them to treat him to get the lead out. It was at a 7 last time to when he was 15 months and had it done.

Ahh I think thats it I have to say. You know me I could go on forever. But Im bored now and really don't think you cared to read that as it is. So anyways Talk to you all later.

Love ya

Jess
