..............................Wordless Wednesday

............Its been forever

Sorry about slacking on here lately, but I have been preparing for finals in school, and focusing on keeping a really good average for this semester. My goal is a 90 but right now I have a 88. I have a test today which might put me back up there to atleast a 89. I have never had such a good average so I am excited that I am even close.

Nothing new with Zachary going on these days.

Marissa finished up softball for school, now started summer softball, and had her dance recital. Last night was her 8th grade graduation. Where has the time gone? I so remember the days of middle school. High school next year, oh dear God please help us through these trying days ahead of teen attitude, harder school work, and drama that comes with these children.

We are settling in more and more into the house. Will take time to get everything our way, but we are getting there. I am going to be having Fridays off in July/August so I am looking forward to getting something extra done. I will keep you all posted and share pics along the way.

....................He's 7 already

Holy moly. My baby boy turned 7 years old on Sunday. I honestly don't know where the time has gone. It seems just like yesterday. We had a busy weekend full of birthday activities for Zachary. Friday night he had his friends birthday party at Cedar House bowling and it was a good time by all. The kids where perfect little angels. Never thought I would say that about a bunch of 7 yr olds, but it was a true pleasure to spend the evening with them all.


Sunday, we celebrated Mothers Day, Zachary's birthday, Nonnie Judi's birthday, & Great Uncle Ronnie's birthday. Everyone came over for a cook out then we had cake and presents. By the end of the night Zachary was all worn out and took a nice warm shower and had his medicine since his leg was bothering him and off to dreamland he went. He woke on up Monday morning and was ready to go with all his new clothes and presents. He was finally able to see what he had and take it all in. Some of his favorite gifts where: Moon Sand, NY Yankees switchplate cover, his new tshirts, and his Zhu, Zhu pet.

.................Closing Date

We are so excited. We got the closing date for our new house. We will be closing on Oak St. sale at noon on 4/23 and will be closing on the new house on Anderson Circle at 2pm. We will have a jam packed weekend moving and getting everything out of this house. So if many of you don't see or hear from me for a little while (couple of weeks) don't worry, I am just buried up to my knees.

Once we get in I will post pictures of our progress with painting, settling in, and so on. Everyone please keep us in your prayers & thoughts for good weather that weekend and we get this done smoothly.

...................Hello April

Can you believe its already April? I can't. Time is flying by and I don't like it. I don't like it for many reasons. #1 reason because my babies are growing up. Next month (May) Zachary will be 7 and in July Marissa will be 14. It just does not seem possible.

Tomorrow Rob and I will celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. Another topic that has flown by. I am very thankful for him and his family. Who would of thought we would last this long? Well deep down I did, but with the way things are this day in age anything is possible of happening.

Other than those simple thoughts nothing to important going on these days. We are in limbo still for the new house closing. Its tentative to happen on 4/23 which is 3 weeks away. I can't wait, and get the butterflies every time I think about it. Nothing better than having more space and everyone being happy.

.....................Busy Times

Are you loving this weather? We sure are and just in time. Busy times are ahead of us as we move forward in our lives. We finally got the final commitment from the buyers bank for our house we sold. So now its move forward in time really fast. Alot of packing, planning, and painting ahead of us. In the end it will be all worth it and beautiful. I will keep everyone updated with pictures of the progress.

This week we head back to Boston for an appointment for Zachary. Hopefully his leg is healing and we can begin therapy and/or putting weight on it. I have noticed he is trying to put weight on the toes, but not flat footed yet. Zachary has had a growing spurt also. Alot of his jeans are getting short on him. Finally, he is growing and just in time for short season. I hate when you have to buy jeans for a month then the next year they don't fit. LOL

Marissa is still dancing and preparing for their production of Annie at school. Thats in a couple weeks, but we have now begun the rehearsals every night and even on Saturday afternoons. She loves it so we can't complain. She had her first meeting for softball, and try outs are next week.
She also got to go to the high school for a tour with the 8th grade class and just to hear her reactions are so funny. I guess I don't remember ever doing the tour and don't remember if I was the same way or not. She informed us she needs a GPS to get around the place. We just laughed. Once she gets there she won't be so confused as to where to go in there. I just can't believe high school next year. Oh god help us through this time frame please.

....................It's Official

Our house is SOLD and we have been accepted on a offer for the house we want. Now just to sit and wait, sit and wait. Today is the house inspection on our current home for the buyer and tommorrow is the house inspection on the house we are buying. Lets pray that all goes well with both and no major problems. If everything goes smoothly we should be closing on or about 4/23.





The kitchen. It's so big with a dining room too.

The back yard has a inground pool we could do without, but it came with it.
