I made some fun storage for Freya's changing table. I bought some fabric at a yard sale a while back, and recently the "super housewives" (aka Lee, Sunshine, and Bryanna) have implied I need to get organized. *shrug* I am trying. Semi-successfully. After the success of the changing table storage, I decided a toy box was next. Some dollar a yard fabric, a cardboard box and some hot glue. I liked it.

Wow, busy summer! Aaron got a new job a couple months ago. He is the new PACT Activities Director for Adair County. It has been quite the transition, but he enjoys the job. I continue to babysit my nephew Wheaton at least 3 times a week, sometimes more. Hope (my 13 year old sister-in-law) comes over while her mom is at work. Hope really isn't someone I babysit...she pretty much helps me babysit. A week after Aaron started his job, he decided I should quit my part time job -- I was not opposed. It is amazing how much can be accomplished with those extra 4-12 hours a week. Even though I have been mostly at home since Freya was born, this is the first time in 10 years that I have not had a job outside the home. I love it. All the sudden things I have always wanted to do -- I am doing. Cleaning my house is now possible, I am renewing my love for fantasy fiction, making fun things for our house, making dinner, I even put our pictures in a photo album. Apparently making a household functional does take quite a bit of effort. I enjoy it though. God is so very good.
