Happy Day-After-The-Fourth!
We had Nahnee & Pookie, Ginger, Casey, Maddie, Jack & Andy in town for 4 fun filled days! We ate, swam, went to 2 fireworks shows, played Guitar Hero (Joe's latest obsession) and just had a great time. The kids are good & tired now, so we're hoping for an early bedtime tonight!
A few updates:
1. WE ARE NOT MOVING TO LONDON!!! When we got back from our trip in late May, we knew there was a possibility that the company might be moving a direction that would require Joe to stay in the U.S. We had to continue down the path of "possibly moving," because the details of Joe's position were still up in the air. What I can tell you now is that Joe will office part of the time here in Dallas, and part of the time in New York City. There IS a possibility of a move to the Northeast in the future, but we've decided to try this commute thing for at least a year. While the news was somewhat of a relief to 4 of us, Joe is still a little disappointed not to be traveling all over Europe! I reminded him that we don't have to live there to GO there!
2. I got a new van! Not super exciting, but I'm telling you what: Honda makes a minivan that is the absolute best thing going for mommas who drive carpool and have several car seats to maneuver! I love my new van! It has a sunroof for those days when I'm feeling particularly old - I'll just open it and pretend to be 22 again!!! I also have an iPOD outlet so I can listen to all my 80s faves! It smells so good (which I know will change quickly), and so far, no one has spilled anything in it!
3. Emmy is moving into a big girl bed! She is beyond excited about this! We are having her room wainscoted white & painted hot pink next week! It is a little sad to be putting the crib away for the last time, but I can't wait to pull the whole thing together with her new bedding - I think it will be fabulous! In other Emmy news, she is going potty (both kinds!) on the big potty now! This is beyond exciting for her mom!
4. Ross is going to SKY RANCH for a whole week! He wanted to do a sleep away camp this summer, and we think he's ready! He will be in Van, Texas the week of August 3, and I know it will be a great time for him! I will send info on how to write/email him while he's gone!
That's it for now - I need to go fix 2 planter boxes for our back patio! Have a GREAT weekend!

Hi Kate!
Jason (my husband) worked at Sky Ranch and said it's a great camp. I'm sure Ross will have a blast!
It's fun reading about your family. Your kids are adorable!

We are so excited for Ross to go to Sky! I think he'll come back a "different person"... more mature & sure of himself without his momma hovering all the time! Thanks for the encouragement about it ! a week without contact with him will definitely be an adjustment for us!
