Strawberries, Mini Blinds and Gas Grills

Yeah I know that's a silly title, but I didn't know what else to name it.
As many if not all of you know June in the Seales house is BIRTHDAY month. We all celebrate our birthdays in June, mine was the 9th, Todd's is tomorrow the 13th, and Meredith's is next week on the 21st. So we just party all month.
For my birthday Todd and I spent the day doing whatever "I" wanted to do hehehehe. After we met Meredith's chauffeur we headed to Huber's Orchard to pick Strawberries. We had a fun time, we love going to Hubers to pick Strawberries, Apples, and Peaches!!! After we left the orchard we went to Caesars Riverboat and played the one armed bandit for a little while. Don't worry I only lost $8. We were more interested in eating the buffet, but it wasn't as good as it was in the past, so that was kind of a dud. Later that night we went to the movies to see Shrek the Third, that is one funny movie.

As my birthday was coming to an end we decided that we needed to hang new mini blinds in the bedrooms to make them darker. It is so hard to sleep in there during the summer when the sun comes up at 6!!! So we bought one and tried it out and guess what the room is also cooler now and the AC isn't running as much, whhhooohoooo save money.

Tomorrow is Todd's birthday but we won't get to do much. He has to work and I do too. So well just wait till Sunday and celebrate both his birthday and Fathers Day.

And Meredith's birthday is next Thursday, we are having her parties next Saturday and Sunday, I can't wait it will be so much fun!!!

Gifts:
What did I get from Todd and Meredith for my b-day??? "see below"
What did Meredith and I get Todd? "see below"
What did we get Meredith? That's a secret, you'll have to wait till after the parties to find out.

Here are a few pictures from the past week.

Busy Busy Weekend..

Well Todd and I have had a very busy weekend. Ever since we found out that Meredith is here we've been going in overdrive. As you can see we finished up the nursery this weekend. We will put the changing table together sometime this week, the crib was challenge enough for one day. Oh and the border (that one piece deal didn't work too good Becky). Oh and Todd says if he sees one more thing Hello Kitty, he's going to hurl. hahaha But anyway the room is painted, the border hung, and the crib is put together. The only thing that's missing is Meredith!!! We haven't heard anything else since Tuesday, I'll try to get some more information this week, but it's doubtful that the agency will know anything new. They said we would get our next round of pictures in about 5 weeks.

We've made it past the 7 week mark....

how many more to go??? That's the million dollar question. We are just sitting and wondering when will we get out. We are still hoping and praying for a previo free stay in PGN. I find myself hitting the send/receive button on my email every couple of minutes, and ever time my cell phone rings my heart drops. This waiting is almost unbearable. But everyone tells me that NO news is GOOD news where PGN is concerned. On a down note, my friend Keely found out yesterday that she received a previo on Friday for something totally ridiculous. But thankfully she went right back in that day. As for our weekly update, it was the same as it has been for 7 weeks. We are still in PGN waiting for approval.
