I hope I am not too freaked out sleeping upstairs--it will be really weird!

The Dog Days of Summer Have Arrived!

Dance Demonstration

All three of Porter's girls danced in the demonstration last week. He brought pink Gerber daisies for Madden, purple irises for Callie and pink roses for Mommy. What a great guy!

Callie's Last Day of Gymnastics

PASSED!

We passed our final inspection yesterday! YAHOO! HIP HIP HOORAY! This means we can now move back into the house. We moved out Labor Day weekend 2007. We'll be in just before Memorial Day weekend 2008. That is 8.5 months that sweet, generous, fabulous, wonderful, amazing Wendy has allowed us to live with her. That's 2 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs in her house. And we still like each other. At least we really still like her...I suppose I shouldn't put words into her mouth!

Almost there...

Well, I've been absent for a while. Mostly due to the house. We are almost there. We are lacking shower glass in the master bath, the gas hasn't been turned on yet, painting touch-ups, etc. Final inspection should be complete by the end of the week. Fingers crossed.

I was lucky enough to spend Mother's Day with my mom! That doesn't happen much anymore. She is in Austin helping us move stuff back in. We spent the day unloading boxes, washing dishes, loading up kitchen cabinets, and trying to figure out what should go where. All in all, it was a pretty nice day--I sure enjoyed the great company, and got much more accomplished than I would have on my own. The girls and I went for a bike ride/walk in the glorious 80* weather. I fear it might be the last of the fair weather days in Austin!

Happy Mother's Day to all of my favorite mom friends out there! Miss all of you!
