Wedding cobbler? Lovely.
Just checking in. I think the sun is finally supposed to peak through tomorrow. My kids' swim lessons were canceled 3 days this week due to rain and thunder!
Zachary (the baby) turns 1 tomorrow! I can't believe how quickly the year has gone. Sigh. I know that he is my last, so this birthday seems to be hitting especially hard.
I wish I could upload some pictures, but my poor computer is so slow, I think it would crash for good if I tried to load anything from the digital camera. =(
The house hunting is taking an unexpected turn. We might end up building a house instead of buying a pre-existing one. Has anyone ever built from the ground up? If we build, we can get a bigger home on a bigger lot, but we'll have to commute 20 minutes to the older kids' school every day. It's really stressful trying to make the right decision!
I've taken a break from all cable news after Reagan's death. It feels great not yelling at the tv every day. I think I'm going to keep the tv off for a long while.
