Piano practice

Samantha just started taking piano lessons. The first time I asked her to practice I went downstairs and found this....

I guess the boys were feeling like they needed to be in on the "fun" of piano practice. For Samantha's sake, I removed the boys and let her be on her own.

A Contract!!

We finally got a contract on our house!!! We are very excited, but won't truly celebrate until closing day because anything could happen between now and then. We are supposed to close on the house mid Aug. so hopefully everything goes smoothly. When it's all said and done, we won't make anything on the house, but with this yucky market, we are happy with what we get. :o)

Happy birthday Aaron!

Aaron turned 33 on friday and I just wanted to remind all of you how great he is! We went out to dinner then came home for cake and ice cream. Each of the kids gave him a gift and he got a few things from me. We had a great time together as a family. Aaron is a wonderful husband and father. The kids think the world of him and get so excited when he comes home. Ok, I'll admit, I also get really excited to have him home from work and not just so he can help out. Aaron is very giving and will do anything for anyone. We all love him and I'm glad he was somehow convinced to marry me ten years ago! :)
