kind of a lot going on around these parts lately. mostly greg and i are just getting old. here's the evidence:

• we are "in escrow" on a house here in poway.  a real house.  like with grass you have to mow.  
• i've been shopping.....for appliances.  the big ones that clean clothes and keep food from perishing.
• we are approximately 33 days away from being in possession of TWO children.
• we are approximately 99 days away from possessing a TWO year old.
• i pine for a minivan.

Also, we've been lounging in the yard a lot lately.  for hours on end.  we enjoy lounging.  proof:











wish i'd kept the ugly white sky out of that last one...

other news. today was the first day i cut bets off from the paci during daylight hours. she gets it for her nap and at bedtime. we may have had to endure a little extra crying today because of it. and by a little, i mean we had one pretty sad fifteen-minute cry-fest.

elizabeth LOVES annie. like she's crazy bonkers in love with the movie and the music. if we're in the tv room, she's pointing at the tv and yelling annie at me. if she sees my computer, she's pointing and yelling for the music on itunes. if we're upstairs, she's pointing and chanting for me to play the music from the cd player. like EVERY time. all day long. is this normal?? i spend a LOT of time diverting attention from her annie obsession. it's pretty hard to say no, when she get's so excited for it. and when she starts singing "maaaaybeeeee".

and let's face it. annie is a quality piece of programming. carol burnett really put in a fab performance. and the music IS rather awesome.
