Things are getting a more homey feel at the new house. We went to Walmart this past weekend and picked up some pretty doormats to wipe our feet at the various entrances. It's amazing how nice that makes everything look. We also picked up some cushions for the patio furniture we brought over from the old house. So now we have a nice place to sit in the evenings and have a nice glass of wine after a long day at work.

We're very excited to get through the next two days. Tonite we're finishing the last bits of things to move from the garage at the old house. We can finish this tonight as there isn't much left. The new homeowners have their final walkthrough tomorrow at 11 AM. Then Thursday at 9 AM is settlement at the lawyers office. We're planning on going out to dinner Thursday night to celebrate the closing of that chapter in our lives. It will feel so nice to move on and forward. We'll have so many new things to do at the new house that we need to prioritize. We've been putting it off as we still had so much time invested in selling the old house.

The start of the summer feels like it is officially here from this past holiday weekend. It was really, really hot. We still haven't turned on the air conditioning at the new house. All the windows are open. It's helping get the stuffy new house smell out having the windows open. I really hate stale air.

The other thing I need to get to around here is updating my blogs I link to (quite a few have changed addresses) and start posting more comments on the blogs I read. I need to find a space at home that is my own desk space though. With Tom working at home, the home office is really his domain and quite a mess. We have to work on that. It's not very good for his working capabilities to be trying to work in such disarray.

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
