So being pregnant, you often get a nesting period where everything needs to be cleaned. That would be every day in my life. Poor Ryan loves the fact that our house is neat and orderly, but hates the fact that I often stress if things are not taken care of and often reminds me that in the grand scheme of things, it really will not matter if the house is dusted once a week. Unfortunately, as my belly grows (very big), it has decreased my ability to do many things and increased my need for naps. Ryan was able to take off some time this summer (after being at the office full time for most of it) and completed a fairly long "Honey-Do List" for me with a lot of help from my parents. We put up more shelving in what will be Kyler's new room, added shelving in the garage, organized the basement storage area, put in a retaining terrace by our cement slab in the backyard, cleaned out the back brush border in our yard, and took down a large weedy bush. Not only did he do all of this during his "summer vacation," but we enjoyed some good days at the park and lots of shopping for both boys.

| Large bush removed from corner of the lot -- now just mulch |
