What do the following items have in common – a purple crazy straw, a piece of colored chalk, a twist tie, a homemade Christmas ornament, 2 popsicle sticks, a Waxahachie ISD pen, a 15″ long stick, and an expired (as of 07/31/00) coupon for 70 cents off Quacker Chewy granola bars? Any clues?

Ya-hoo. We are now in our new house – AND we now have internet. A few difficulties here and there, but overall things have gone fairly smoothly. I’ll attempt to go back and retro-blog some of the things between the last post and now, but until then I’ll give you a quick update. Yesterday was […]

The kid’s room has a built-in loft. My guess is that they like it.

Our vehicles were a bit loaded as we pulled out of SA. Only one vehicle could see out the back window. *sigh* Not having a lot of experience pulling anything (especially without use of a rearview mirror), I chose to drive the kid vehicle.

Here George is adding a few more things to the POD before it is picked up. Everything else is either going to have to go into (or on) one of our vehicles – or be left behind. It’s going to be tight. Kids, don’t try this at home!

Our POD arrived today. I was impressed with how they moved the POD from the big truck to my driveway. Fun to watch. It’s empty now, but that will start to change tomorrow. Our SOLD sign was installed yesterday morning. It’s all a bit exciting, a bit scary, and a bit unreal.

I thought some of you might be curious to hear the next installment of the home-selling saga…. I wrote the last update on Friday.

For those who don’t know, the buyer on our house backed out on her contract earlier this week for some personal reasons. So we’re back into the “Invasion of the Home Shoppers” phase. Not really the situation we were hoping to be in right now but we’re hanging in there.

Today was International Midwives Day – a day to recognize and honor midwives. So a big thanks to Alisa for being our wonderful midwife. George and I have been surprised at how quickly we have bonded with her. The kids like her a lot as well, despite the shyness act they sometimes put on when […]

… an inspector shows up to check out your house and tells you that you have a lake in your side yard. So today we were expecting the house inspector to come over at 3:30 and were a bit surprised when our doorbell rang promptly at 2:45. Only it was the termite inspector, not the […]
