We've Moved!!!

Well, at least most of our boxes are under one roof now. We are officially residents of Fredericksburg as of August 2nd but we still have our "city home" in San Antonio (not by choice but due to the market). The silver lining on that cloud is that I didn't have to have everything moved out so most of our wall hangings/decorations are still in place until we get things settled a bit more here.

Sadly, this past weekend Chris' Grandma Nixon passed away. She was 92 on Thursday and we took the kids by to sing "Happy Birthday" and gave her some chocolate cupcakes (which I think Nora and I mostly ate). Grandma was in great spirits and was commenting how the girls would surely be athletes with the way they were bouncing the birthday baloon around the room. The girls fed the birds outside Grandma's window with help from Aunt Courtney. It was a great visit and I'm so happy we were there for that special day. She will be greatly missed by all of the family but especially by Grandpa who she was married to for 75 years!!! Please keep him in your prayers.

I haven't blogged about so many of the things that we have done this summer because between having a house on the market, wrapping up things with my old job in San Antonio, moving, attempting to get our house (and other related matters) in Fredericksburg settled, and trying to get settled into a new firm (Bryla & Schoessow, my in-laws practice with another great local attorney) blogging hasn't exactly been a priority. The kids have handled the move like champs! Probably better than I have. We've only had 2 episodes where they have expressed wanting to be back at their old home or old school and both have happened when the girls were overtired. Addie starts school on Monday, 4K at St. Mary's Catholic School which is just 2 blocks from the firm:-) I almost have all of her supplies together, I think.

I won't be keeping full time office hours until October when Nora and Wyatt will start at their daycare. I'll post pictures as soon as I get a chance. For now I'm doing good just to get in a quick update. If anyone happens to be comning this way, give me a call! My cell phone number is the same...for now.
