June 12th

Yesterday a few minutes after I got home Eddie's sister and brother in law came by. Eddie and his brother in law started building Vallerie's swing set. They were at it for about 6 hours. They had to stop when it got too dark. (10pm) They got it about 80% done I think. It's looking really nice. Vallerie was out "helping". My aunt stopped by to check out the progress and Vallerie was pulling her around the yard and hitting her with sticks. It was funny.

After they went home we stayed up for a short while and watched a little tv.

Eddie's sister is getting induced today, actually she got induced at 8am this morning. She was 2 weeks overdue. I called Eddie to see if he had heard anything yet, but he hasn't. I assume that means no baby, and probably no hard labor yet. We're going to wait for their call to see when to head over to the hospital. His sister was saying that there would be more than a few people there, and she was a little upset about it, so we didn't want to butt in.

Tonight the plan is to maybe do a little work on the swing set, and then I have to put the finishing touches on my sisters cards. I really wanted them done last week, but I didn't get the chance to finish them. It shouldn't take too long, so I think I can knock them out this evening.

I have a great plan for a thank you gift for my aunt, cousin, and grandpa. I am of course going to send a card, I'll probably include a picture too. Then I am going to make a dvd slide show kind of thing with pictures of the building of it, and Vallerie playing on it. I hope I can get some pictures of my grandpa and aunt playing with Vallerie on it. Luckily we have a great program on our home computer that can do what I want. Eddie's sister uses it, so if I have problems she can help me.

There's a new episode of Dr. Who on Netflix. It's the "Christmas special". They have one every year. I can't wait to watch it! I also have some other shows I need to watch, so there will be a lot of tv watching in my future.

Sometime before my mom visits (FRIDAY) Eddie and I need to go pick out a paint color for Vallerie's room. I am hoping that we can agree on something. Eddie prefers a dark color while I was thinking more of an earthy or pastel color. We will have to see if we can find something we both enjoy.
