New house has broken ground!

It's finally official! Ourhouse has broken ground. The anticipated move-in date...which we're told is very accurate and we'll believe when we see it...is November 26th, right after Thanksgiving. Here are a few shots, one with our sign and new address, another with the forms for the foundation, and the other with our soon to be neighbor lamp post...

News on the old house front, it's now listed with my dad on the rmls. The number is 7061901 if any of you want to do a search and look it up! No offers yet, just put it on Monday and have had a handful of folks through. We're having an open house on Sunday so we'll see if we get any more interest after that.

Our girl is 3!

Happy Birthday, Evelyne!!! Our girl is now 3.."she's huge" as she describes it. She's loving crafts and especially loves to paint. I can't believe she's already 3 years old! She's a good big sister and has a very independent streak. She loves to dance and doesn't mind doing it in front of a crowd! A favorite hang out of hers is the Kennedy School where she regularly takes off her shoes and boogies the night away with the best of them!

Gilbert is moving!

Gilbert officially started crawling a couple of days ago. He is now 7 1/2 months old. I think his big motivation is keeping up with his sister and trying to get her toys! He is starting to babble a lot and "talks" over us sometimes it's funny. His upper tooth finally broke through about when he started crawling also, this kid does everything in pairs. Looks like it's time for me to move his mattress down in his crib as he's starting to pull himself up. Right now it's only to his knees but I have a feeling feet will soon follow.

baby sugar

Love the way kids morph names into other things. I've been giving Gilbert baths with baking soda for a myriad of reasons and since he and evelyne usually bathe together now they both get to use it. So the other night I forgot to put it in and big sister kindly reminded me..."mama where's the baby sugar?"
