Go, Go, Goers!

With this crazy July weather we've been having (upper 90's one day, chilly mid-60's the next,) I think we're all a bit confused on what time of year it is.  I was hoping to go to a water park on Friday afternoon, but due to the winter-like conditions, decided to get a pedi, go to a French bakery, and shopping instead.  A fun afternoon, for sure, but not the one I was expecting! We went to a my co-worker's party last night, and it was weird pulling out the fall apparel.  But, glad we had it, as we were outside most of the night, and it was chilly.  This weather has started me thinking about this fall...and hunting season.  I'm not a hunter, but Scott is.  That means we both like it when we see deer in the neighborhood - but our joy is probably for different reasons.  I think they're cute animals, whereas Scott sees dinner.  On Thursday afternoon (I was home with a fevered-Ava) I looked out our back window and saw a doe with two fawns -...

Funny how things can be so busy, but not a lot of progress is being made.  We've had fun stuff going on every single day over the last few weeks, but one area where we've been struggling is with our new house.  There have been delays - lots of them - and we were beginning to think it would never start.  We still don't know how these delays have affected our estimated completion date, but, I'm starting to think that I'm going to have Baby Boy and move into the new house...all in the same week.  Because, really, that's what this year has been like.  2013: The Year of BIG Weeks (where we look back and think what else could we have possibly squished into a 7-day time frame.)  Other notable weeks of 2013 can be found here: Exciting Changes!  and FIVE (and a few other things...) After some phone calls, and Scott talking to the job super a few times, they FINALLY dug the hole last Thursday!  I stopped by last night to confirm, and was very happy to se...

So far, it's been a great holiday weekend!  Both Scott and I took/had Friday off of work, so we've had some excellent family time over the last three days.  Plus, we've been able to get a lot of stuff done that we've needed to, but haven't had time for in the last month.  Now, if only we could fit in a few extra hours of sleep... Wednesday night, we took advantage of a great appliance sale that Sears was running, and purchased our washer and dryer for the new house.  It's been so long since we've had a new washer/dryer (Scott bought the ones at our last house before I met him, and they hung in there for 13 years), so I'm looking forward to all of the new available features in today's technology.  But, now I have to wait over 3 months to be able to use them!  One more thing to look forward to... Thursday was the 4th, so our day was full of fun activities. I managed to get a bunch of stuff done around the house that I had been putting off for a bit...
