Mother's day

We had a bunch of wind on Saturday- and it totally took out some of the old trees in our yard.

This one was about 150ft- so it was a good thing it didn't hit the house. But it did hit my pretty magnolia tree and take out my laundry pole and some ugly pine trees.
Its pretty crazy the damage it did. Our whole backyard is just filled with tree.
So clean-up took several hours of our mother's day. We told our land lord and they told us to make sure we are very careful while we clean it all up...thats code for "we are not coming over there to help you clean up our property."

We did make a halfway decent effort to go to church on Sunday. Joe and Ella went to church 40 mins late- and I walked around with Zoe in the halls. I guess 3 weeks old is too young- and then we went over to Kelly and Andrews and Joe and Andrew made a very good brunch for all the moms. That part of the day was really nice and relaxing.

Oh- and we got a couch! its the biggest couch ever- so the living room looks odd- but its really nice and new and..well its really big. Its like sitting on a throne- Ella can just barely climb onto it.

I would have pictures of it and more Zoe pictures of course- but the camera is on its last legs and we need batteries- We will have it together by Tuesday- promise.
