Onion Baby!!!

We made it to 17 weeks! Hooray!! I am feeling great and have no complaints! Brett came to one of my Dr appts on Monday and he got to hear the heartbeat which is so fun! This week the baby is an onion...yum! We scheduled our sonogram for the first week in August and I can't wait.


We tackled a major list of projects this past weekend. We didn't get all of them done....but we definitely made some progress. One of them was to "revamp" our screened-in-porch. We decided to stain the boring concrete floor as a starter. We chose a dark brown color. Here is a pic partway through the process. We then put a couple of high gloss sealer coats on it...looking good! We ordered a big "lounging" sofa to go on one half and a dining room table will go on the other. Soon we plan to "mortar wash" the entire outside of the house which is this dark red brick, so that part of the porch will get changed then too. I will post some pictures once the transformation is complete.


Meet David..... The newest member of the Scullen Family

Actually, David is the sweet GE repairman who has now been to our house no less than 5 times...He knows all of our names and Sadie thinks he is just the coolest!! We bought a brand new refrigerator along with all other GE appliances. Ever since we got it delivered (4 weeks ago) it has not worked right. It stays at ZERO degrees in the fridge part which means everything that gets put in there freezes...ugh!! Thankfully we have a large fridge in the basement that has saved us in the meantime...just not convenient at all. Finally after 5 visits with David, GE REPLACED it with a brand new one. It arrived yesterday....Brett and I did the happy dance!!!! Thank you David!! Come back and visit anytime! (just not to fix a broken fridge anymore...thank you very much!!) In the picture, Brett is holding his favorite treat (and mine too). Peppermint patties that we keep cold in the fridge...it is so yummy!

That is all for this week...The kids come for the weekend so I am sure I will have some new adventures to post.

    Grandad Robinson would be so thrilled to have a baby onion for a great-grandchild.

OK!  Meet my little brother, Cameron!

He is a Texas boy at heart.  We were both raised in Corpus Christi and he has lived in San Antonio and Houston before landing in Austin.  He is a Christian and has been recently attending The Austin Stone Church.  He loves to travel and usually goes skiing a few times each season.  He also loves the beach too!  He loves to listen to music (awesome in Austin), enjoys a nice beer, and is the best uncle to 3 nieces and a nephew.  Oh- and he is tall! 6'3" Email me if you are interested, and I would love to make a match! hscullen@gmail.com ...

A Fresh Start

Since it has been sooooo loooong since the last blog post, I thought I would do a brief recap of the past 4 months in pictures.  Needless to say....we have been busy!  Between the holidays, Caroline's first birthday, many fun visits from family, and just life in general, time has just gotten away from me.  Thank goodness for Emma Grace who is constantly reminding me how behind I am on my blogging!  ha!  Seriously....she is my main motivation to get back on track!  So here we go... p.s.  this may take awhile to get through so grab a cup of coffee... Thanksgiving at our house.  Gina and Bob drove down from Nashville and Val and Cameron came up from Texas Lots of football throwing in the front yard.  The weather was perfect!

Weekend Plans

Image
This past weekend was great! The weather was perfect and we got some great stuff done around the house. On Friday night we let each of the kids have a friend over to spend the night. It was crazy, but a blast. We took them all out to eat and then to Redbox to pick out some movies. We kept laughing about the fact we had to take 2 cars to go out to eat...9 people! And--I do have the BEST husband in the world.......I got invited to go have a couple of hours with 2 great girlfriends of mine so I left my husband alone with 7 kids when we got back from dinner. Wow! When I got home the kids were all happy and the home was still standing. When we collapsed into bed late that night, we thought about that this is what it would be like if we had 7 kids. Yikes! So fun though. Saturday morning was Christopher's opening day for his Youth Baseball League. He has been pitching some lately and was the "closer" for their game. They won easily... like 15-0 (we lost count)! Chris...
