We're Moving!

We got final approval for the new house and we'll be moving on August 21st! I'm so excited and also a bit daunted as I'm realizing what all this entails. Actually, I'm doing my best to remain in denial because I will surely have a nervous breakdown if I think about the fact that we're moving in two weeks AND I am having Max's birthday party at the new house two days later. Thankfully it will just be immediate family so I know they won't hold it against me if the place isn't ready. In fact, I know they'll help me finish unpacking so that's good! Here is a picture of the house and a link to interior pictures.

Sweet Boy

I think he's eating some clover here. The child eats anything and everything. I could definitely place if there were an Olympic event involving jumping from a seated position clear across a room or yard to prevent something from making it into Max's mouth. If I don't make it to him before it gets into his mouth it's pretty much a lost cause. I pray that it's nothing poisonous or sharp and I know I'll see it on "the other side"! You might suggest that I just clean more thoroughly or not sit more than 6 inches away from him to prevent this, but this little guy has super-vision as well as a pincer-grasp that would make Mr. Miagi jealous (remember him catching the fly with chopsticks in Karate Kid?) We all have our gifts, I guess.
