Frickity, Frick Frick!!

So now it is Friday night and still no couches!! We were supposed to get our new furniture on Thursday during the day. (we have been very antsy to get them since we have been sitting on the floor to watch TV for the last week) Well, first we get a call on Thursday saying that they will be delivered much later than they originally told us. THEN when they delivered the couches there was a ginormous tear in the back of it. They told us if we wanted to keep it anyway they would give us a discount. We contemplated it, since the tear was in the back and could be easily hidden since it would be against a wall. How much of a discount, you ask?? Oh, it was a whoppin' $30!!! So we chuckled at them a little bit and told them they could take it back.

Next they tell us that they don't have a time slot to deliver until Monday! So Chris got on the phone with someone and caused some havoc and they told us we would have it Friday (today) by 7:30. We felt so relieved when we got a knock at the door. They got start brining in all the pillows and what not and they brought up the first half and smallest part of the sectional. Chris told them to be extra careful on the way up and was watching them very carefully around all the corners. Well they got it about half way up the stairs and, AWESOME! ANOTHER TEAR! This time it was all the way across the front. Sooooo, we had to send it back....again. And had to raise some hell with a phone rep....again. And we are stuck waiting until tomorrow night for our furniture....again.

I was going to post some pictures of them, but that will have to wait until tomorrow (hopefully) I could take a picture of our "half couch" but Chris is so frustrated at this point I don't think he would find any humor in it. :)

BIG Little Boy!

Landon had his 4 month appointment yesterday...

He is 18.16 pounds (93%)

26.5 inches long (91%)

His pediatrician said that he looks very healthy and is "very proportional" which I guess is good since he weighs a lot. That way we know that he is growing all over and not just gaining a bunch of weight. We have started him on solid foods and so far we haven't found anything that he won't eat, which doesn't surprise me considering he puts EVERYTHING in his mouth!

Room for changes...

Chris and I are in the process of getting new furniture, and to do so, we had to sell our old furniture. And right now the stuff we sold has already been picked up, and the stuff we bought has not been delivered yet. So we are sitting in a pretty vacant house as far as our living room is concerned, which just so happens to be the place we spend most of our time. So.....we decided while we have everything out of the way we would add a few touches here and there to make our living room just a tad bit more appealing. We started with the molding, (0r base boards, whatever they are called) we both really like tall base boards and since ours were in DESPERATE need of being repainted we figured we would make them nicer all together. Our old base boards were about two inches tall and now our new ones are about six inches tall. It's not much of a change but it's crazy how just little things here and there can make quite a difference! Here are some a couple of pictures. It's kind of hard to tell since it's just a picture of wall, but it gives you and idea.

We got some video of Landon mimicking my Dad and Chris today. It's a little dark, so I hope you all can see it okay.

God Bless America....

Exactly one year ago today, Chris and I found out that I was pregnant! Last year made for a pretty exciting and memorable 4th of July... which could really only be topped by this year's 4th having Landon here with us. We went to see fireworks and it was so much fun to watch Landon's eyes light up at the site of all the lights in the sky. We thought the sounds might scare him, but he just stared up at the sky with wide eyes. Like an idiot, I forgot our camera of course and I am kicking myself now that we didn't get any pictures of the three of us. As we were watching the show I was thinking, that I have had some pretty fun experiences on the 4th. I have spent many with friends, and been to shows like the Stadium of Fire. I have spent it on the beach in Portland, where they shoot fireworks in to the sky off a boat out on the ocean. And I have watched them in NYC as they set them off over the Hudson. But none of them compare to the 4th of July I had tonight. I had my husband next to me, and my son in my lap... and I have never felt more blessed.
