Our friend, Caroline, has a new foster placement. She’s TINY, only 6 days old.

Of course, as with all babies, Carlos loves her. He wants to hold and kiss her all the time. We’ve been spending lots of time with Caroline and the new baby since she’s on vacation this week. It’s been fun getting the “baby time”.

I am so happy, I borrow Gay’s carpet steamer and did the living room carpet this morning. It is very nice and I’m not embarassed for anyone to come to our house and see how nasty and spotted the carpet was. I’m sure the kids will trash it in no time, but at least for today, it’s clean and looks good. Also on the home care/repair topic…our deck is done! So, now we have a nice, new front deck that we can actually use. It looks great, too. I’m excited to be able to go in and out the sliding door now, it’ll make life tons easier. Now if only our landlord would take away the old deck….the front yard is looking kinda trashy. I think I’ll use naptime today to clean it up a little.

May be going to the waterfront park concert tonight, I think it’s a Mamba band and it’s the last of the summer. Lots of summer programs are winding down, everyone getting ready for school.
