a lot...

is going on around here. We move to Austin in 2 weeks so we are busy packing up! Also, we accepted an offer on our Fort Worth house!! So all good and exciting stuff. The girls are doing WONDERFUL and having so much fun everyday. They want to go " bye bye" from the moment they get up and then again after their nap so we are enjoying the zoo and park almost every day!! Keeps this momma exhausted but I love that they are getting so much fresh air and exercise. On the potty training front we are making progress...Lily is totally pee pee trained but still prefers pull-ups for the big job :) Emma has no interest in any of it!

brrrrrrrrrr...

it's chilly outside today so we are snuggled up watching The Cat in the Hat movie giving mummy a few minutes to blog! Not too much happening these days...the house is on the market and we are waiting to sell so we can make our move to Austin!! I signed the girls up for all their classes to keep this busy while we are in limbo. I'm happy that they have continued stability...toddlers need that routine...as do I!!!

Happy New Year!!

We had a wonderful holiday season with my sister who traveled from Seattle to celebrate with the girls! They love their Tia! We are still in limbo in terms of our big move to Austin. Austin is really expensive and it is a very competative rental market...the good ones are gone before we can even get into see them! UGGHHH We would ideally like to buy but we can't until we sell our Fort Worth house....and in this market it is going to be a challenge. So here I sit while Dave works in Austin. I'm anxious to get us all living together again but I am going to have to be patient! Not my strong point...

The verdict is in...

DAVE GOT THE JOB!!! We are moving to Austin....so exciting! Now we just have to find a house, sell our house, and move...and so it begins...Happy Holidays!

another year older...

and none for the wiser...ha ha. Yes I'm 41 today...We have been super busy with family visiting--Dave's daughter Kelly and her adorable son Conner. We had an awseome thanksgiving with a yunnmy meal prepared by Kelly and had some fun excursions to the zoo, the train, and Fossil Rim. We are hoping to find out this week if we will be moving to Austin...keep your fingers crossed!! Here are some new pictures...I;m having some trouble with my camera...I dropped it and now there is a hazy quality in a lot of my pictures. So Santa, if your listening...I would LOVe a Nikon 1 with the interchangable lenses...

Boo!

The girls had so much fun for Halloween! They both had fevers and were pretty sick most of the day so we were unsure if they would be going out but they ended up feeling much better. They were so into it this year...saying trick or treat...eating lots of candy...and then handing out candy to the swarms of children! We are loving this cool fall weather and every week-end we ride the Fort Worth train. They absolutely LOVE it!!
