Have we mentioned?

That we are moving to a new house closer to Megan and Jack's school? Everyone in our neighborhood will be moving about 9/10 of a mile closer to the kids school (which then will put the kids' school at 1/10 of a mile from us). In our current neighborhood, we live in the "newer" units in the front (of which there are 12) and there are 24-ish "older" houses in the back (by old, I mean 5 years). The old houses are having serious issues with them, which is apparently indicative of poor construction...serious infestations of bugs/rodents, poor water drainage and mold. Since the owners of this neighborhood have refused to address the concerns properly, everyone is being moved out to a development that is currently being built. They will be single family homes and they look really nice. The downside is that they are smaller than our current house. We will lose a bedroom, playroom and bathroom (and Dan's urinal) and it will no longer be American's only in the neighborhood. But, Dan keeps reminding me that it is still a free house :) So, the houses are supposed to be finished the end of January/February and we will get to move all over again!

Do they pack you up and move you again or do you guys have to take care of it yourselves? What a bummer that you just got those curtains up!

I know about the curtains! we found out about the move the day we put the curtains up - and neighbors here said that they saw us doing it and wanted to tell us to stop and not waste our time :) i'm glad we have them up...they make me happy every time i walk into my kitchen!

and they will move us. it's just the chaos of doing everything again when we got stuff like we want it. and not being able to put anything else up on our walls. we probably have 5 pictures up because we know we'll have to take them back down in january. so, that's sad that the kids currently have no pics up on their walls...but we'll do it as soon as we move into the new house!

Man! The plus side is that it is a new house. You know home is where the heart is.

New house?! Nothing like keeping things moving. The place looks great!
That extra 1/10 closer could be very important.
