OH LOOK, A NEW POST!

Yea, yea, I know. Spare me!

We have had a lot going on here lately. Lets start with the basement.

We have a moisture problem (no standing water or anything) in the basement and are finally getting to resolve it. We have a company out of Richland Center (and Madison) coming on Monday to "fix" our problem. I hope. We have had to move all our stuff away from the outside walls, pull down drywall, and actually clean and sort stuff! They will be jack-hammering the concrete down to the footer and put in their system and put concrete back on top. This better solve this problem, because I really want to get that basement usable!

Moving on to Jack. Grampa Ole is teaching Jack to ride his bike without training wheels! He has only tried a couple of days but is doing really well. He does best in the grass but has gone on the road. He was doing really good going down the road but hit a patch of sand and totally ate it in the ditch. He's ok, but scared to try again.

Ben is crawling! He has been for a couple of weeks now. Benny is into everything now- we need to keep the bathroom doors shut! He likes to turn the TV on and off too. Still not a lot of hair, but it's coming along. I think it's blonde-almost white! He's such a cutie pie!

We actually started cloth diapering with him this past month as well. These aren't you mom's cloth diapers! I wish someone would have told me before Jack was born how easy it was, we could have saved thousands of dollars and tons of space in a landfill. It's going really well-we use wash cloths for wipes which I LOVE. It gets him cleaner and doesn't leave a residue on his bum! It's going good so far, so I hope this keeps up!

Alex is sick right now. Same cough and runny nose that's been floating around this house all winter. Do they make a bleach-bomb? Ahhh!

His favorite thing to do right now is to play the wii. We limit his time in front of it and he doesn't play every day (although he asks to). If he's like this now, I don't want to know what he's going to be like in ten years!

The weather here so far this month has been nice. Temps in the 50's and 60's, but breezy. We (Chad) got our play set that we had at the old house set up so the kids have been swinging and sliding and having fun! They have their ride-ons (battery powered Gator and 4-wheeler) out but the batteries are running out. They are only a few years old, but they aren't working anymore. That makes me angry because they are NOT cheap. They don't make things like they use to, I guess :)

Chad and I are busy as ever with kids, work, farm, house and I don't see it slowing down any time soon heading into summer. Time flies!

OK, so I was going to post some pictures, but my computer won't let me. I'll try to figure it out and look for them soon.
