All is well!

I received an email from my PopPop today asking me if everything was ok, since I have been neglecting my blog ALOT! So...here's a little update for you :).
Everything is well in Kirchmann-land....this week has been a long one, for some reason. The days are short, and I don't seem to have the time to do all I want...but on the flip side, it's STILL NOT FRIDAY...well, now it almost is. I woke up this morning thinking it was Friday, then was mildly disappointed when I remembered, that NOPE...just one more day. Then its the weekend! YAY!
Bella is starting to talk a ton more, I am still needed as an interpreter though...like today at Walmart, she was saying something to the lady at the fabric counter, and I had to repeat what she said, "Yes those are pumpkins" and the lady said "OH!" and laughed...hmmm....I could understand her perfectly, whats the matter with you??
She is also starting to share her knowlege of all things speaking to her younger sister. On the way to Walmart this morning, she thought it was just HILARIOUS to blabber at the top of her lungs, b/c right after she would finish her sentence, little Aubree would try to out-do her big sister with a grunt or scream.
Speaking of learning...this morning I went into a dark bedroom and found Bella laying on my bed, shining a flash light at the ceiling....I thought "oh cute" and then was a little annoyed with her b/c she was like "mommy, mommy, mommy, look" and we needed to leave. Then tonight, James was telling me that he and Bella had laid on the bed last night, in the dark, shining flashlights at the ceiling for like 30 minutes. He would "chase" her light around the ceiling. And then I felt bad for getting irritated, she was just trying to show me something new she had learned! Oh well, I bought her some new clothes today ;P.
I feel like I actually accomplished something with my yardwork today. We had the foundation fixed before we moved into the house, and the foundation people left big gaping holes on either side of the house, with a big mound of dirt off to the side. I had been meaning to get around to filling the holes before they did more damage, but had been keeping myself busy with pulling out bushes and chopping back overgrowth....I FINALLY got around to it this afternoon and filled the hole!!! It looks so much better!! AND that part of the house may not fall off....how nice. I also made us a little concrete area to stack the garbage cans out of extra blocks we had lying around. Ahhh.....I can finally check something off my list. And I can rest easy tonite with my popcorn and hot chocolate :).
Love to all....I hope this was a good update, Grams and PopPop!
OH OH OH...and last but not least....James...he is doing good, too....he's working, not much else :) and he is very excited for tomorrow to be Friday, too. We are going to a Parenting Network Night hosted by Deloitte at some pizza place with go carts and miniature golf. Should be fun, and I'll try to post some pictures...gotta get some batteries for the camera!
