"...All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again!"
No, we haven't named our house "Humpty Dumpty" but being in eternal "mommy mode" allows a constant plethora of little songs and nursery rhymes to resonate in my brain. The story of this gigantic egg with a painted smile is what comes to mind as I think about our poor house. Humpty was such a nice egg, and our house is such a nice little house. Though it seems that the more we try to improve it, the more it breaks. Last week, we had to replace a portion of our sewer line. For anyone who has ever had to deal with any type of sewer problem, you can understand the major inconvenience and "bill trauma" caused when all is said and done. This was after having the plumbers out three times prior (since Christmas) to fix the same recurring problem. We showered at the YMCA on Thursday morning, and then enjoyed a nice hot shower and continental breakfast at the local Hampton Inn on Friday morning (after which James and I spent a nice long day at the Galleria while Daddy worked.) Despite the disgusting problems, we still felt the need for a photo shoot. Aaron thoroughly enjoyed playing with the "Bobcat" that sat in our front yard for 5 days! So, what are our plans for this weekend? Putting our deck back together again!!!
