Our Neighborhood Great Egret

This Egret will walk right up to us and almost into our garage. He or she is very tame, Bobby was almost able to touch it. It is either looking for a pat on the head or better yet FOOD!

Little Ones 8th Birthday. Cool Yu-Gi-Oh! game!!!!

Whew, I need a vacation.......................

Well we did it! We closed on our first house moved in and painted every wall except for the bath room and the master bedroom. We replaced the circa 1979 dishwasher and toilet. We bought almost everything we needed to keep up the lawn except for a weed wacker. We tried planting seed for grass in the sandy bald areas of our yard, so far not much has grown there.

Little one has really caught on to swimming, our pool goes to 6-7 feet.

We bought a 3 month old Beagle, Max, against my wishes and better judgement, so DH is getting up all hours of the night with him.

But, my house still does not feel like home like I thought it would, I dreamed of this day for a while and NO I did not romanticize it, I knew it would be hard and we would have to make our own "home" memories. I don't know, maybe it will change over time.

Dont get me wrong I thank God everyday for my blessings, I know how good I have it, a loving husband and wonderful, growing like a weed, Little One who is now 8. What more could I ask for????????????? Nothing.
