Father's Day

By
Happy Father's Day to all the daddies! (Especially Grandpa Dainty and Grandpa Rutecki!) We started off the day by going to the early Mass, then Leah helped me make her daddy some banana peanut-butter chip pancakes and cherrywood smoked bacon. Yum! We gave Ryan his gifts. He is holding up his nifty new golf towel below. (Who new a towel could be so high tech!) After breakfast Ryan started working on painting the basement since we're trying to get most of that done before we have new carpet installed. Leah decided to paint as well. She made some beautiful pictures and got very messy. So, of course we had to get out the sprinkler to rinse off. Next it's lunch and nap time!





Check out her face in the picture above. She was not crazy about the feel of paint on her hands!

Greetings friends, Thanks to all your prayers and support over these last months, my job search is finally over.  It ended where it began, in the principal's office at Marian High School, a Catholic high school in Mishawaka, IN, about 5 minutes from our house. I will be teaching 11th and 12th grade English-- 4 sections of honors Junior composition, and 1 Senior world literature course.  Both Nicole and I are very excited about this opportunity, as we will now be on the same schedules with breaks and will, of course, have the summers off to travel and visit all of you, our family and friends. I am observing the teacher who is resigning over the next week, and I will begin on my own Monday, November 3, just in time for Nikki to go into labor, necessitating my finding a sub for a week or so?!  Oh well, what can you do? Thanks again to all of you who have prayed earnestly that this challenging time would pass.  We are truly blessed by all of you.

Entertainment

By
Leah is singing, singing, singing these days... Some nights we hear her singing all kinds of songs to herself after we put her to bed. One of her new favorites is "Twinkie Doodle." We tried to teach her how to say "Yankee" for a while and then figured, why bother? We like this Twinkie Doodle character better. The other video is her very first knock knock "joke." Often while I am cooking dinner she hangs out in the kitchen with me, being my helper and entertainment in one.

The Nursery Progression

By
Here are some pictures of the nursery in stages.  The first few show just plain primed walls with painting tape.  The next couple show us starting to paint, followed by the adventure that was putting up the chair rail.  The last photos are finishing the painting, doing some touch ups, and the finished product.  It was a lot of fun, and Nicole's nesting urges were satisfied for the time being.  We're doing a ladybug theme, with the green and pink being the dominant colors. We do have some accents like picture frames, shelves, and hanging baskets that are being painted red.  All we need now is some baby furniture.  Enjoy the photos and comment away.
