Trouble's Coming...

That's what Max just said. I'm quite sure she was telling me that the fish tank is pretty and boy, what a nice day it is outside!

On a more serious note

I think every parent should watch this. I wish they would show it in the hospital when you have your baby. You can make whatever decision you feel is right for your family, but not without all the information. Please watch.

Do people not sue in Japan?

That's the only explanation for this. It's long. Trust me, it's worth it.

Holy Cow, Final Stretch!

This house goes on the market on Monday! This weekend will be a blur, just like the last couple of weeks. We've done landscaping, painting inside & out, carpet replacement, carpet & upholstery cleaning, window cleaning, moving (60% of our stuff lives in storage now), and next week will be the photos/virtual tour and The Big Tank Break-Down. Then the open house and hopefully, fingers crossed, it'll sell fast! Then double fingers crossed that our loan for the Chapel Hill house goes without a hitch. I can't believe we're actually moving to the opposite end of the world. Errr, ok, maybe just the United States. It's still far!

This kid is cute.

One day Max's friends Connor (4) & Aubrey (1) came over to play and were building towers and knocking them down. This was the first time the tower got knocked down when Max wasn't watching, and boy was she surprised by the noise! Ever since then, when she knocks over her tower she braces for the noise, even though she is the one making it! She braces before she even knocks, and since her eyes are squeezed so tightly shut, sometimes she misses and has to try again. Is that not the cutest thing ever? Of course it is.

I like it when you call me...

Beard Papas! I am seriously going to miss these little puffs of deliciousness. I just introduced my dear friends Nathan and Tracy to them, so hopefully the addiction will live on.
