This morning Punk and Aaron brought me breakfast (blueberry pancake! yum!) and a card in bed. Then, Punk made me a cute little wooden wheelbarrow filled with silk flowers at church. It was so sweet and cute! Then, when I got home, I found this in my blog comments from Jocelyn who is over in Liberia visiting her son-to-be. I thought it was front-page-worthy:

Pea is walking and smiling...she is beautiful. I gave her a lollipop and she followed me around the baby orphanage for the rest of the time...she is a beauty and I gave her a hug and kiss and told her you love her...she smiled when I said "I know yo ma" She is amazing.

Thanks Jocelyn!

In the meantime, we've been painting the big boys' room (that's Punk's and Pence's new pad--Punk's upgrading out of the "nursery" so Pea can move in). We have "cottage cheese" 70's ceilings throughout the house that already have layers of paint on them, so they're neither easy to scrape off nor to paint. But, Aaron got a paint-sprayer from his grandpa last summer, so after covering every possible surface that we didn't want paint on and taping plastic over the closed door and window, Aaron (with mask and safety glasses on) began to spray the ceiling. After 4 failed attempts, we now have paint on the ceiling and in the closet. It's a very light tan (I think it's called waterchestnut or something). As soon as Punk gets up from his nap, Aaron has to spray a couple lackluster spots on the ceiling (the machine is quite loud) and then we get to the star of the show: Cinderella's Ball Gown. Yes, my big boys' room will be painted in this charmingly feminine-named shade of sky blue! It's quite a nice color, actually--it's the current color in the nursery! But, since the nursery is the smaller of the two rooms, it will be pinkerized for my toddling, smiling beauty!

Punk CANNOT wait to move in. He cried last night when he found out he wouldn't be sleeping there yet. Poor punkin. Good motivation to move fast though! Hopefully he likes being in there as much as he thinks he will! :) We forgot to take "before" pictures, but I promise we'll get some "afters" and maybe a "during" or two!

Happy Mothers' Day, Moms and Expectant Moms!!!
