Happenings

Things have been Crazy since Lily was born! We have been on vacation with my family. We re-staged our house. Translation: I trapped the children in front of a TV while I painted, organized and cleaned for a million hours. We moved to Dallas (finally!) and we are about to become landlords! (little scared about that). Neil had a birthday, his last one in the twenties. Lily has been growing like crazy and rolling around and eating rice cereal (she does not care for the cereal mostly she spits it at me disdainfully). I have lots of cute pictures but we forgot the camera cord in Houston so until we head back there or to best buy I am out of luck. I have been trying to limit Grace's TV time so today I told her we had to turn off the TV and she helpfully concurred because she "does not want to get mush in her brain." John is growing and saying more words but that child has an iron will. It is mostly displayed at church or the library where he tries to escape his parents and explore. After the move I was completely exhausted so Neil came home from work early on Friday to surprise me and sent me off to get a massage, spend an entire night with out kid related wake ups at a snazzy hotel and then to see Harry Potter the next morning. At first I was nervous to spend a night at a hotel alone but man it. was. awesome. I slept a good solid 12 hours in a heavenly bed with the air conditioning going strong, (I love sleeping in almost freezing rooms :) There were these fabulous white ginger bath products and the buffet in the morning was delicious. Every type of fruit, an omelet bar, fresh squeezed juices, doughnuts, coffee cakes, muffins, hash browns and more. And I LOVED Harry Potter! And I mean loved. All the other movies were let downs but this one was great. Except for the makeovers for the flash forward. Ron's belly and Ginny's hair do were ridiculous. Well that is about it for now.
