Stuff

We have had issues with our air conditioner the last month and were hoping that we could get through this season of using it. Last week we noticed that our air conditioner would not turn off even when we had it set to off, and after listening to it for a couple of days we had to call someone out on Saturday. We ended up having to buy a brand new air conditioning/heating unit. What a great use of the nearly $6ooo we had sitting in the bank hoping for vacations all next year. 

Monday morning, we had repairmen come by and spend the morning taking our old AC unit off our roof and a crane lifting a new unit on. Then Tuesday morning we had someone come and clean all of our vents and dryer vent, so we spent Monday and Tuesday moving things around for the cleaning on Tuesday. Then Tuesday we spent the day and yesterday (Wednesday) cleaning the whole house to get rid of all of the dust that inevitably gets everywhere.

My sister had a c-section so we thought she would come home on Thursday, but yesterday afternoon she called to say she was checking out at 3:00 p.m. My sister Sarah and I had to speedily finish the cleaning jobs we had left to do. Mathew got home from school just in time to help finish some dusting and mopping before Anna and Bryan arrived with Bryanna. 

Mathew read a story to Bryanna for his daily book report and had fun taking some pictures. It was nice to have Anna and Bryan back home with their sweet little angel. Mathew started his new job of diaper disposal which he has been appointed to and has gladly accepted.

Welcome Bryanna

My sister Anna went into the Mountain View Hospital on Sunday night at 11:00 p.m. to be induced (although she had already been having contractions all day Sunday) and spent all day Monday waiting, waiting, waiting for her little girl to arrive. Finally at 6:00 p.m. the doctors decided to perform a Cesarean Section and at 6:47 p.m. Bryanna was born. She weighed 8 pounds and 9 ounces and was 20 inches long. She has blondish brown hair and is super cute. 

My dad, sister, and nephew rushed over to the hospital and took pictures and then rushed home so my nephew could get to bed and my sister could go to work. Mathew was the first cousin to hold her and is so excited to help Anna with Bryanna when they get home. 

We bought a new digital camera so plan on taking lots of pictures so I can finally post them. I have a ton of updating to do on here as my goal of at least twice a month posting has dropped down to once a month. We have had some major things going on, so computer time has been left off the list. So we'll see if I can get things caught up on here this week.
