adventures in insanity

Well we are fixing up the house, I now know that I am certifiable. It has been horrible. I am soooo tired right now that it is ridiculous. The house looks great inside though. New paint, floors, exterior pain and tile. I must say we have done a good job, although I am getting worried that only three people have come to see it. I am posting some pics...I am also sending some of ameena and heem of course, they are too cute to be left out.

I haven't started to study for my Nurse Practitioner exam, I figure I would take some time off after graduation....I need to get back to it. Mohammad took a couple of days off from work to work on the house, it paid off but with me leaving town to go to NYC to pick out the furniture for the big move....he has zero time off. I am arranging with a local girl to help sit while I am gone so moh doesn't get tooo overwhelmed and so he can pick up on his time at work.

Heem: well he has become a handful, he bit me on the back just the other day..ouch!!! He has this infectious laugh though. Now when he does something wrong and you ask him why he did that...he replys "because". Little booger:P He loves going to the house and picking up the pressure washer. As you can see above him and Ameena play this game of I'm going to spray you and he gets the biggest kick out of making Ameena run off and scream. He also got the guys and the graduation picnic to hold him up to the drinking foutain numerous times so that he could watch the water. although they thought that he was thursty and that something was wrong because he would just stare at the water. he's gotten pretty good at recruiting people to do his bidding.....does this sound familiar we may be talking an Ameena 2.

Ameena: she is doing well. We went a long stretch this last time almost a month, without an asthma attack. She has a cough for the past couple of days, I hope it wont progress. In the new apartment she has found some new friends. Accross the hall are two girls from south africa that are 6 and she likes to hang out with them. They come over at least three nights a week to watch movies with ameena. She likes them so much she would have them every day but poor mom can't handle that. Ameena is taller than them, and their mother thought that ameena was 8!!! Can you imagine what her face looked like when I told her that ameena was 4, she towers over her 6 year olds. Not bad for a premie. Now the next thing to do for her will be her birthday party, always a big deal ?P

Well enough from us...take care family and friends.
