The House that could have Been

This is the house for which we made an informal offer. It was accepted, but we have since decided not to go through with it. We are going to remain flexible until the loose ends are tied here in Tucson.

In the mean time, we will probably rent this house across the street:

The kids decided Grace needed "clips" in her hair.

Marie blows out the candles on her birthday cake.

Opening new earrings from Daddy.

Is this girl thrilled to be six, or what? (She can't wait to be 18 so she can have a cat.)

Busy, busy.

I understand people are getting fed up with our lack of communication. I warned all y'all. As my dad so eloquently put it: "Your house is up for sale/rent. Little messes that were no big deal before are now major sins."

We are flying Grandma Lori down to watch the three oldest while James and I hunt for housing in Colorado. We get back Sunday night. Tuesday is Marie's 6th birthday and since Lori and Randy will be down, we'll have some kind of bash Wednesday night.

Here are some old pictures that you may have missed...

Colorado or Bust!

James got a new job at Numerica, a small engineering/consulting firm. His first day is June 3rd. The company is located in Loveland, about an hour away from my parents. We will most likely live in Ft. Collins. We imagine things will get pretty crazy here, so updates will mostly likely be few and far between. James is scheduled to spend some time in Florida and will be working on the reports for the end of his three-year project. We've also got to figure out details for house hunting, moving, and renting out our own place.
