Keeping our chins up
We still don't know what's going on with the house we're buying. The sellers have been out of town so the negotiations have basically been stopped since last Thursday. We're hoping to start the negotiating again today and tomorrow and come to some type of agreement over the failing septic system. The problem is that… Read more

Sometimes a bad photo is a great photo
This photo is one of my favorites of all time. Technically, it's a horrid photo but that has nothing to do with the value of the photo. It was taken when Andrew was only about 30 minutes old and it's the first photo I have of all of my kids. But it also shows… Read more

He keeps us laughing
This little dude is the happiest, most easy-going child you could ever be lucky enough to meet. He loves everyone, he wants to play with every child he meets, and hugs all of his friends constantly. He doesn't care if we move, he doesn't care if we stay, he doesn't care if we change schools… Read more

The future vs. today
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Eleanor Roosevelt Today needs to be a better day and I'm going to have to make it happen because it has not been happening on its own. The negotiations on both houses has truly taken its toll on me. Both deals have… Read more

It’s Monday – take a deep breath!
Thank you all so much for all the comments and emails on my last post about doing the right thing. I've read them over and over and showed them to my husband and we appreciate every single one of them. 🙂 And, if it's any indication, when I emailed the director asking her to call… Read more

Doing the right thing
We have just made a really tough decision about Emily's involvement in a local play and it's really bothering me. I hope we're doing the right thing. I think we're doing the right thing. But, I'm struggling with the reaction that is going to come our way. Emily loves theater. She loves her drama class,… Read more

No one can escape change right now
No one is safe from change in our house right now. It's all around us all the time and you can't hide from it. Sawyer thought he was immune. But he was wrong. Way wrong. (photo taken this morning with my cell phone – he's a bit confused) Read more

Chaos reigns
There is so much chaos around my life right now that I'm not even sure what day it is. We have been knee-deep in home inspections on each house – there's 8 inspections done on each house and reports and emails have been flying back and forth between the inspectors, the realtors, the buyers… Read more

Would you paint this?
For some reason, Tom thinks that the office in the new house is his. Hahahaha! It will be shared. 🙂 This is the only room in the house that has stained wood wainscoting or trim. Every other room has white crown molding and trim. Would you paint this? Paint part of it? Or just… Read more

When a bathroom = a closet
In our current house, we have a master bathroom. Well, not really. We have a bathroom in our bedroom. It is definitely not a master. The entire bathroom is 4 x 6. And it's a full bath. Not a powder room. Although that's a very typical size for a powder room. Tom and I can't be… Read more
