When we first moved into the house, we wandered around the house and Darrell saw the mess of plants that have creeped over the side of the wall and took over the side of the house.
Unfortunately, the blackberry bushes had gone up under the siding and was blocking the output for the fireplace so it was one of the first things we needed to do.

Just recently Edward has learned how to give “kisses.” They are more just open-mouth-place-on-cheek kisses, but they are still pretty cute. A little slobbery, but worth every second.
Setting up for the kiss
Kisses!
Must keep kissing!!!
The hug after the kiss
This last weekend, we headed on down to California for a wedding for some friends. We had a blast. Since it was Memorial Day weekend, we were able to participate in the Royal Kinetic Madness Band which plays for the Kinetic Sculpture Race in Arcata. We haven’t played with them since 2009 before we moved to Texas. We saw a lot of friends and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves the whole weekend. It was a long trip, but well worth it. 🙂
Someone got into the Peaches I had put in a bag for Darrell and I for the trip. I moved some stuff to the car and came back into the house and he had both peaches and one was almost gone. Little stinker.
What a relaxing, beautiful sunny Mother’s Day this year. Edward had been fighting a diaper rash with the move and other things going on, so we let him run around naked all day. We set up the kiddie pool on our back deck and filled it with warm water from the sink so it wasn’t too cold. Then we just hung around and played all day. It was a great day.
So as many of you heard, we moved again. This time, we signed a two year lease, so we will be here for a little bit. Plus we really like the house, so we might end up staying longer. It is a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath with two living rooms, a 2-car garage, a small backyard, on a cul-de-sac and we have some really awesome neighbors. If you don’t have the new address and would like it, send us a message. 🙂
See that, that is our guest bedroom. Yes, we have a spare room and we bought some twin beds, so anyone is welcome to come on by and spend a week or so with us. Plus, I think they are the comfiest beds in the house. Any takers???
Oh.. and on top of all the good stuff about the house, we have a little park/playground area with two play structures that is even closer than the park at the last house (if you can believe that). Plus, it is between houses and a greenbelt, so there are no streets. When Edward is bigger, he can run around and we don’t have to worry about him running into the street. We will, however, need to worry about him running through the blackberries on the edge of the trees.
