The Perfect Storm...

Well, no one ever said that moving was easy. Unfortunately we have taken the difficult and made it Mission Impossible 4: The Perfect Storm. Suffice it to say, our move has been complete with illness, teething and limited commercial interruptions. We ended up closing a week late, thus the move was completed a week late. On moving day we were about to build an ark at one point due to all the rain. Thankfully it finally abated to allow the move to continue. Then Heather got sick and Savannah started to cut her molars. This led to Sean having to take off work and bring in the Golden grandparents as replacements for a day. After three attempts we finally have a home phone. However, cable still seems to be a couple of weeks away. Apparently no one, including the US Postal service, knows our new home exists. We are working to rectify that situation. We hope things will start to smooth out here soon. Here are some cute pictures of Savannah "helping" us move.

Bye, bye Ulricksons...

We are very sad to see our friends Amy, Matt and Heidi Ulrickson move to Boston. We have thoroughly enjoyed having them in our lives this year. We will miss them every day.

Amy, Christy & I out for one last girls' night out!

It's Official, We're Moving!

Well, we found a townhouse that we could not resist. So, we are moving. It has four bedrooms and a study. It has a small fenced yard and lots of balconies. It is located in the Museum District of Houston. So, that means Heather can just walk to all the places she takes Savannah on a daily basis instead of driving!! We are so excited. Here are some pictures I pulled off the MLS of the house. We can't wait for everyone to come and visit our new abode. (We will even have a dedicated guest room!)

This is the front of the house.

The living room - on the second floor.

The kitchen - also on the second floor.

The formal dining room (also on the second floor) - we are going to use this as a play room.

The master bedroom on the third floor - we even have our own balcony.

The master bath - I am so excited about the granite countertops in here.

Savannah's room and another bedroom (each with a private bath) and the laundry room are also on the third floor. The first floor has the guest room (with a private bath) and the study.

Savannah's First Trip to the Beach

We had the opportunity to go to Charleston, SC with our friends the Ulrickson family and the Rimkus family. We had a wonderful relaxing beach vacation courtesy of Christy Rimkus' family. Here are some of our photos.

Savannah with her friends Heidi (left) and Meg (right) in the bathtub. We can't wait to show these to Savannah's first boyfriend!!

Look out Donald Trump, Savannah is going to give you a run for your money.

Savannah and Sean at the pier, Savannah's favorite place at the beach.

We had a toy wagon that came with other beach toys, Savannah thought sitting in that was the best part of the beach. She was not too sure about those waves.

We take Savannah to Savannah!

We were fortunate enough to take Savannah to Savannah, GA for a couple of days. She loved running in the squares and seeing the city. Here are some of our pictures from our fun time!

April, in pictures

We started April up at Lake Conroe for the two days before Easter. Savannah ran in the bluebonnets while her parents, grandparents, and Nana looked on. Sean went a little crazy with the pictures, so I will only publish the highlights. We had an Easter egg hunt the next day that was cold and rainy but funny to watch as Savannah stood there staring at the eggs and her waterlogged family. I am sure she was wondering, "What in the world are these crazy people making me do now?" Otherwise it has been a month of Gymboree and outings to Herman Park. We have spent some time looking at houses, so there may be a move in our future. We will keep everyone posted.

Welcome to our family

We are so excited to get started. We hope this will help everyone stay updated on our lives. We hope you are all doing well.
