so, we finally have a date for moving home. it seems like"finally" because by nature i am very impatient and it seems like the last week has just CRAWLED by in anticipation of knowing when we'll be on our way. kelvin's last day at the job here will be the 26th of august, so we'll leave the 27th. so- because we have to plan for travel expenses, my beautiful graco quattro tour duo and carseat are no longer an option. and whaddaya know- in all my research online, i couldn't find any discount companies that carry the french roast pattern. toys 'r' us has exactly what i'm looking for, but at the full msrp. bummer. albeebaby.com has the system in several patterns, just not the one we like. upon my emailing them and inquiring as to whether or not they plan on carrying the french roast pattern in the future, i got a curt reply: "we do not intend to stock the pattern you are looking for".... oh, ok. anyhoo, while i'm somewhat disappointed about not being able to purchase my incredible find, i AM excited to know that we'll be headed home in 4 weeks!
(bathtime the other night- don't ask, 'cause i haven't a clue! lol)
so... now that we have an eta, i have to get a list going of what all needs to be done in the house before we get back. mom and dad offered for us to stay with them for a few days, so at least we won't have to go back to a dusty, cobwebb-y, stuffy house... we'll have a day or two to get it aired out, the water running and pipes cleared out, dusted, etc.; i have a sketchy game-plan that also involves cleaning out the junk room and going through EVERY single item before we settle back in. kelvin plans on taking a few days off of work when we get home, so what we can't get done during the big full-day tackle, i can work on while he watches cole. or something... now i've learned my lesson the hard way- it's easier to weed out the junk the minute you first move in instead of waiting until you leave and then come back... yikes! anyhoo, it feels good to have a solid move date. watch out wisconsin, we're comin' home!!

Yayyy, you can have your OWN house back! With your OWN bed and your son can have his OWN room back. I'm guessing you're very excited about more than just those things, though!
finally! watch out wisconsin :) cole has a really really long tongue.
love ya!
i know- his tongue kinda reminds me of a cow's tongue. is that wrong??? (bad mommy- i'm comparing my child to a cow...)
YES! I can't wait until you guys get home! We neeeeed to get together! By the way about your Quattro tour, check out craigslist, you can score them pretty cheap. I just scored a brand new set for 70 BUCKS! I'm telling you. If I know for sure you want that pattern I can keep an eye out for you. Let me know! Hugs to you we miss you tons!
Love,
Ash
Hey Linds...yes, we plan to be at Marion for the whole convention...see you there??
We'll welcome Cole in mtg, as our kids are the only ones making noise!
