still alive...

We're still here, I've just been lost in my mess of a house for the last week because we got new carpet... replacing the carpet in 3 rooms, and the hallway...which means my house was a disaster! Half of our things in the garage, some in the kitchen, & some in the basement. But, it's all done and smells so nice, like new CLEAN carpet smells.

BEFORE... cream carpet

Wade hard at work, pulling out hundreds of staples :)

AFTER: new BROWN carpet
I am so looking forward to having carpet that doesn't show EVERYthing

Okay, so I took these "after" pictures of my christmas tree...but you can see the new carpet, kind of. We babysat Paelyn for a few hours the night we put up the tree, and she loved putting up the Christmas tree as much as I did:)

Look how much she loves Christmas... biig smile!

Our jealous dog thought she needed to lay on the blanket too and get a little attention

Little Blessing

Kim and I have been friends for 10 years

I told you.
eww..... Algebra 1, freshman year , braces, horrible hair, the whole bit.


She is one of my best friends in the world. We went to high school together, but it was the year we lived in an apartment together in Sioux Falls after high school that we grew so so close. We both now are married, living in Sioux Center. We talk every day, sometimes, a few times, and have so many many things in common. She is such an amazing, grounded, woman of God and I am so glad to have her as my friend.
Yesterday, she became a mommy. I type those words with tears in my eyes. I cried most of the day at her wedding... that feels like so along ago now, because yesterday I met this pretty girl.

Malia Grace BosmaWhen I walked into the hospital room her husband Kevin was holding her, and I said, "can you believe you're her daddy?" With out looking away from her he says " she's just soo beautiful" I'm a cryer. You can't say things like that to me. :)

You guys are wonderful parents! Malia is a lucky little girl.
