new renter!

We have a new renter! Yay! She is my mom's age, and single, which is perfect for us! She will be here until the end of August - maybe a little longer if it is working out for us. I'm hopeful that this renter will be a good match for us, as the last couple that was up there...let's just say not a good situation! We were a little concerned when our previous renters moved out because I will be having baby Jack the first week in August, and we aren't entirely sure we want to have a renter after the baby comes home. I will be sleeping downstairs for the first few weeks due to the c-section I have to have, but we are thinking of making the apartment into a master for us and the babies - yes Emma still sleeps with us, and I'm pretty sure the new baby will be in with us for the long haul too :-) They are only little once after all!

This extra income throughout the summer will *hopefully* allow us to have a new chimney built so we can install our woodstove, which will help A LOT this coming winter. And who knows we might have enough to get a fence for the yard and perhaps a *gasp* dishwasher :-) The excitement! I can barely contain myself!
