6 mo. recap...sorta

Well, let's just say the blog is a little out of date. I've been inspired by Sarah's newly active blog: http://sarahmay77.blogspot.com/.

Things sped up at the end of '07 and haven't really let up since then. First, it was preparing the old house to go on the market. Sooooo many projects that we had been intending on completing "one day" had to be completed before we went back to MI for Christmas vacation (which was wonderful, by the way).

Then, we put the house on the market and every evening is spent cleaning up clutter and getting phone calls saying someone wanted to come by and view the house. Yes, EVERY day. I'm not complaining. We were blessed to have a contract on the house in 4 days. 3 weeks later we were moving out. Backing up a little bit, we had our eye on a house in the Evandale Elem. school district for some time and were lucky enough that it was still on the market when our house went under contract. We immediately started working to get that house and it worked out perfectly. So, our new address is 3076 Wanda Woods Dr. Atlanta, GA 30340. Look it up in Google Street View. Well, you can't exactly. You can get within 4 houses of ours and see pretty much the whole neighborhood we live in, but our short street is not covered. Still, Google street view is pretty neat. Here's a link to the view from the end of my street: http://maps.google.com/maps/mpl?moduleurl=http:%2F%2Fmw1.google.com%2Fmw-ms%2Fcode%2Fmapplet.xml&layer=c&ie=UTF8&ll=33.879769,-84.226921&spn=0.005113,0.007499&z=17&cbll=33.87761,-84.22729&panoid=8TKvIQemqisfbtgK59HUCQ&cbp=1,349.9034269546112,,0,-10.577596747067241

Of course, once we bought the new house there was all the work moving and then all the work that had to be done around the new place. Baby-proofing is a tedious, but very necessary task. Especially when your toddler is a gifted climber.

Now, Allison is almost here. Laura and I are really excited and looking forward to meeting her. Barely over a week away now! Wow. It's amazing how much our lives have changed over the last 2 years. It's been wonderful.

I'll do my best to post some house pictures in the next couple of days and get some updated photos of Katie. Obviously, once Allison is born I'll be adding a bunch of her pictures here too.

In the mean time, here's a link to a Picasa web album we recently uploaded. It has many pictures taken over the last couple of years that we need to get printed. Laura's still working on sorting through all our digital photos to determine which need to be printed. Good luck to her...we have a MASSIVE amount of pictures store on the computer. http://picasaweb.google.com/mlsommer1/LauraSPicsToPrint?authkey=MpGtuaLn1WI
