My Girls

A lot of years together,

lots of stories...good and bad.

Love my girls.

For Sale No Longer

We have an accepted offer on our house, closing in a month.

Happy. Sad. Excited. Nervous.

This has been a great little house for us.

What are we doing trying to move with two little kids?

It's going to be a busy month.

Feel free to swing by at any time with

moving boxes and a six pack.

a drizzly stay at home day

taking these pictures is about as productive as we've been today.

Potty Chart

Today as I cleaned up after my naked

three year old reluctant potty trainer I said to him,

"big kids don't pee on the carpet"

he replied,

"yeah, but little kids do"

Yes they do Luca, yes they do.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Nudy Sprinkler

the pictures are a little fuzzy

but the expressions are fabulous.

To: Dad - Love, Ava

Meriter Children's Center Picnic

I can't believe that Ava will be leaving MCC

for kindergarten in the fall.

Wonderful teachers and great friends.

It will be a little sad.

My girl is growing up.

Luca will be moving on to the Sunshine Room

after three years with "Minda" and "Sheesha".

Tears are in our future.

Unfortunately, it's a rare event that we are all able

to get the kids together.

Love them.

Miss them.

Pink Car

of course, the moment anything comes out of the garage

to be given away they think it is the coolest thing ever.

the pink car has had a lot of good times with us but

will be moving on to a new friend.

friends, not minding the 90+ degree weather

moms, not minding an occasional wandering spray
