will be dropping in on you.
If i did not leave you a message know that I am
still answering some of the comments


I am getting so excited about moving into our new home. Last Thursday the realtors called and said could I please come and inspect the house, because it is ready and they would like us to sign the paperwork. I did go and they have done much of the work, but they are not finished. There were workmen everywhere. Most of the things that need to be done are minor except for a large water stain in the master bedroom. It is a new stain as there is fresh paint on the walls. I hope the problem is located and properly corrected since I do not wish to deal with a large water leak after I move in.

The hotel is beginning to feel cramped. I am sure if I was a more organized person everything would be fine, but let's face it, this is me! This is the girl who wouldn't clean her bedroom - even though she couldn't see her bed - just because it was expected of her. I hate clutter, I hate disorganization, but that nasty habit of procrastination is ever present. It tells me to read a couple of chapters in my book, do some knitting, watch a little TV, read some blogs. Then there is the homework, the story reading, the Lego play, and the refereeing.

My two oldest children will be getting there own rooms, while the two youngest will be sharing. Everyone has big plans for their space and Bronwyn has asked for a bedroom makeover for Christmas. I think this is a fine idea. Remy wants a loft bed with desk underneath and a sitting area. The little ones are excited about sharing bunk beds. Gwendolyn's turn on top with the promise of a curtain on the bottom for Parrish.

Such expectations; I hope everyone is not disappointed. This will be the first time in quite a while that we will be able to step out our door and do things like ride bikes. We will have a backyard and I foresee being able to throw a ball and have a picnic. Remy is already planning a camp out. So even if Santa is having an economic dilemma this year we will have a wonderful Christmas.

Can't wait to move in and give everyone the tour. Next week planning a trip to the Dragon Store with a friend. Will have pictures for you so see you then.

Congratulations on getting to move into your home! There is nothing quite like having your own space. Can't wait to hear how the kids' rooms turn out. Judging by Bronwyn's reaction to Lauren's room last year, she won't be decorating in pink :) Hope the move goes well!!

Congrats on being close to moving in. :) I have a friend in Nairobi who was in the hotel for almost half a year waiting for her house to be ready.

Hey lizzy-loo! :) New blog look you got here! When I arrived, I thought, "Wrong blog!" But then it was the right one! Anyway... I honestly didn't accidentally subscribe to your daughter's blog. It wasn't an accident, I mean. I honestly subscribed on purpose, because I know I am going to really, really like reading it! :) A blog all about a seven year old beautiful girl named Gwendolyn? And her little piggies? I'm going to be thrilled reading it! So I subscribed! :) I hope you're not jealous! hee hee! Wait...I'm going to subscribe to you, too! Adding you to google reader in a minute...
