Moving on

It's been 16 days since I last blogged, and quite a lot has happened...and not happened...and is yet to happen.

Here's a change: the "not happened" actually has to do with Emma.  She is still cruising, literally and figuratively.  She has been great sleeping with her mask in her crib at night, mainly because she's too tired to care.  She usually sleeps through the night with it.  Naps are a different story.  With her busy schedule, it's hard to have Emma at home when it's time for a nap, which is never the exact same time every day.  When she IS at home and sleepy enough for a nap, fighting the mask and crying isn't pretty.  But we'll get there.

The "has happened" is about our house.  We have a signed offer on a new house, and it will be inspected next week.  I don't want to spill the beans about where it is or anything yet because we still have to have inspections, a survey, and an appraisal.  But we hope to close sometime during the last half of September.  It's one story for Emma, and there's a good-sized fenced-in back yard for Lola.  The last time we looked at the house, there was a renegade (and rather large) cat sitting in the back yard watching the wildlife.  I'll be having a word with the neighbors about that cat.  I don't have a problem with other people's cats, but I personally don't want a cat.  Neither does Lola.

When we feel comfortable with the inspection and appraisal, we'll take the next step with our townhome.  Here's the "yet to happen:" we're going to lease our home to a wonderful couple who we feel certain will take great care of our house. 

Emma is still a sweet little girl with a lot of love to share, as you can see in this video with our friend, Rob.

I have a lot of catching up to do on last year's posts:
