A Few House Photos

Here are some photos of the outside of the new house. Nobody on either side of us yet, but they are expecting to have our section done in 6-9 months, so we should have neighbors soon.

The Big Sneak

I came out one morning last month to find that Brennan had made himself right at home, happily munching marshmallows and browsing the Sky Mall magazine. He knows how to keep himself busy!

When Marian and Aidan were little, if they were quiet, they were playing with something just fine. If Brennan is quiet, you better run and find out what he's gotten into, b/c he's usually up to no good!

New House Update

As most of you know, we've been house-hunting since May, looking for an extra bedroom and a study for Thomas to try to work from home sometimes. We found a great house last week, only to find out while signing the contract, that there is no gas hooked up to it yet. The gas company came out this week and determined that there are no lines laid for that section of the neighborhood yet (ours is the first 'finished' house). So, the plan is for them to drop off the equipment next week, get started the week after that, and it takes about 15 days, start to finish. No hurricanes/torrential rains allowed!! I know we need the rain, but not yet, please! :)

So, fingers crossed, closing will take place by July 31st! The link to the house on the real estate website is gone now that it's 'sold', so I need to remember to bring my camera over and take some pictures. I'll let everyone know our new info when it becomes official (we might have to change our phone number, too).

Off to do more repairs on the current house! Anyone know how to replace a cracked GFCI outlet without hurting yourself?

Mini Olympics

Brennan and Aidan both had their last gymnastics class for the year yesterday.

Beam is Brennan's favorite apparatus

Somersaulting on the beam--not so much!

Kicking while on the bars is a close second.

Warm ups

Doing floor routine--only needed one prompting

My Guitar Heroes

This is what happens when Daddy is in charge:

Marian was actually getting pretty good at it!

The Graduates

Aidan graduated from the preschool 5's class last night. He's all set to blast off to kindergarten!

And Thomas took Marian out to Tucson last weekend for his sister's graduation from law school.

Number 4!

Here's the first official picture of Baby #4.

Due date is Dec 28th, so I need advice from all the December babies out there on how to keep birthdays special! Otherwise, everything is so far so good.
