Are We Settled Yet?

No, but we're getting there! I would have a lot more photos of our weekend but I accidentally deleted them off the camera (I can't believe I did that!).

Our weekend consisted of a lot of outdoor time: trimming hedges, mowing, organizing the garage and taking walks. Any indoor time was on Saturday due to Chris having a stomach bug, me not feeling the best (see previous post), the crappy weather, and decorating issues we wanted to get resolved. Thank God my Mom and Dad came up Saturday, otherwise I would never have been able to get our family room decorated. It turned out great, THANK YOU Mom & Dad!

























One blind installed, one more to go. Note the awesome arrangement on the right. I NEVER could have conceptualized that (thanks Mom!)
























Sunday was an excellent weather day, finally! I did a Sunday morning run around our neighborhood and then to the YMCA and determined it's only 1.8 miles from the house, sweet! That run was preceded by our ritualistic Sunday morning paper and coffee...on the deck! Jackson took turns eating pancakes and running down to play on his swing set. We headed back out onto the deck for a late dinner and some goof off time before Jackson headed to bed. We desperately need patio furniture. I'm working towards having something before I host the AZ Syring's in September (I can't wait!).

And now it's Sunday night (sniff, sniff). Last week was hell for so many reasons, one of the main ones being Jackson's poor adjustment to the move (not sleeping) and his new daycare (utter freak out episodes at drop off). It caused me to be a wreck at work and home. But as the week went on his demeanor improved thanks to father time and a fabulous daycare staff. Lets hope tomorrow isn't anything like last Monday... For now, I'm just going to just focus on the great weekend we had.

Awesome pics of the neighborhood views! I had no idea you were on that big of a hill! Can't wait to see it in person in 4 weeks!

We are so excited for our trip, but unfortunately it is 8 weeks, not 4. Mike is just a TINY bit excited:)

Ok...cool photos, but where the heck was that view when I was there??

Dearest Mike,
There is definately a reason you are a science nerd and not a math nerd. ;0)

Wow - all the pictures are great! I love the decorating (go Deb!) but it just wouldn't look right in my house, I'm afraid! Like Dan is fond of saying, "We just CAN'T have nice things!" ;) Enjoy your home! Great view!
