Decked!

So the deck is almost done...done enough to lounge on and enjoy! Yeah! I am hoping to get some flower pots planted in the next few days, and E is still working out the stairs, but it is wonderful! We had our first party on it on the 4th and it was great. If you're in the 'hood, come and enjoy a glass of wine on the deck with us!!

We had a fun 4th. Kids were in the neighborhood kiddie parade, enjoyed a relaxing afternoon in the pool and on the deck, and had good friends over for a BBQ before fireworks. It was fun, and full of true Americanna! The neighborhood is all buzzing about this baby coming. It is so fun to realize so many people are so excited. Just this am at the grocery, the checker asked how soon we were going to travel. I didn't even really know her!

This week is the all important court date. Our date is the 10th, so when you go to sleep on the 9th, say an extra special little prayer! And tonight when you nod off, say a prayer for Melanie and Gina, who are blazing the trail ahead of me and have court dates tomorrow. We are all ready for this journey to go to the next step. We are due for a smooth ride I think, so hopefully all goes well...and quickly!

I will post some pics of the fourth later...there are some really cute ones of the boys of summer!!
