wow! watch that first step, it's a doozy

so, right now there is a backhoe in my front yard, creating a VERY large hole where our sidewalk used to be. i am really weary of construction, but all the same, the process is fascinating (and VERY NOISY) oh, sorry, was i shouting? the excavator has to work around these bizarre braces that are holding up the roof. nothing too major, it's just the roof. one of the guys was joking and said that if i heard a really loud noise that i should probably just keep the door shut. i think that was good advice.
September 11th is very thought provoking day for me. before gilli was born, our OB had an opening on her schedule and suggested delivering on the 11th, but i didn't want gilli stuck with any ties to such a weighty date, and now as i remember crying while watching the news coverage, even after so many years, i am glad tomorrow is gilli's birthday, instead of today.
sorry for such a serious post, just wanted to let you know that i am glad to be alive and despite living in a world full of chaos and even darkness, there is so much good! thanks for being a part of my goodness. love you guys! sending hugs! XXXXXXXXXXXXX!!! did you feel that? hope so! :)
p.s. I'm having a stamp party on october 11th!! :) you are all invited! let me know if you can make it ok?
