Mystery Solved


What a pretty, pretty girl!

Hilary was the mysterious sender of the Houston pillow. Thanks, Hil! We love it. It's our first pro-Houston item in the house. We're getting more and more excited every day. There is a ton of stuff to do, lots of family-oriented things, lots of cultural activities and a huge Hispanic population. This means that there will be a lot of holiday celebrations for Latino holidays. This will make it much easier to teach Gabi about her culture.

So serious!

We're getting very anxious. We even have our first friend visit scheduled. Mary-Kelsey will be heading down in early August to visit us. By "us" I mean Gabi. She's very upset that I've been teasing her with this adorable child for so long and now I'm taking her away. She simply won't have it. So she's signed up for an August trip. I just have to have her room ready and the pool cooled down for her arrival. Of course, this news was very unsettling to my mom, who is in constant competition with everyone about everything. She won't be outdone. She'll probably find out when MK is coming and buy her ticket for the week before.

And when Jane finds this out, it will be a free-for-all. Little do they know, I'll be calling on them to help us get settled. We've moved A LOT! But we've never moved with a toddler in the house. I feel certain that one or both of them will happily sign up for babysitting duty while I unpack boxes. Lucky devils!!!

So what is the tenative move date? That is the day SC will arrive in Houston, without a return ticket.

Love to you all.

Moving day is June 18th, tentatively. Ed will drive down June 15th. Gabi and I will FLY down around the 17th or so.

And yes, Mom or Jane will possibly accompany. Mom has already offered. Imagine that! We're never gonna get rid of her. We told them that we had their suite ready-- we refer to it as the outhouse. Hahaha

Very funny...outhouse! Were you trying to keep the date a secret?
I'm checking for a ticket today.
Love you too much,
Mom
