Hunting for a new playground...

I love mornings like this!

Saturday we took Sydney to a "space camp" themed story time at Borders, which she really got into. Since none of the other children had pink space ships, she was determined to show them! She hardly listened to the story because she wanted her pink shuttle finished before the story was done. The carpet inside the bookstore is a coincidence.

I love this photo of her. Most of the kids at this story time were older, as it was more geared towards the older crowd of kiddos, but that is usually perfect for Sydney and she was very entertained and they loved her back.

Sunday we went to check out the property at Lake LBJ again. It takes us about 1-1/2 hours to get there, which means it would be our "weekend home". They lowered the price AGAIN, and I think we'd be getting a steal on this place, but we have alot of questions to ask the agent before we officially make the offer. The lot is pretty deep, so we'd later build on it. But for now just use the cottage that is currently on the lot and add a few rooms on to it to make it more livable.

Everything about this property and the town reminds us of Pop's place in Pasadena, MD. (Andy's grandfather's place on the Chesapeake). It has always been his dream to have a place on the water that we could pass down to our kids. We're pretty excited to have this be a part of our girls' lives.

Random.... later that night we went to my mom's to see Erik who drove in from NC (photo not shown, but many to follow!) and Kelli was telling some very exciting stories about our road trip ... "and then we saw dead fish bones and they were really big!! and then sister threw a rock in the water! yeah! and then I crapped my pants!"
