If you build it, they will come...

...Friday night a Craigslist special arrived. It was safe to say that Maddie and Luke were a little excited about this new toy. When we decided to buy a bigger home this year, we promised the kids a swing set with a tire swing. Who knew it could be so important to them. Apparently, this is the coolest play ground equipment ever. So, to Craigslist I went to track down a swing set that met our specifications and was listed for a price I was willing to read. Friday night I found one and they previous owner was willing to deliver it....score! Good thing Grandma and Grandpa were in town for a visit, because we all went to work building for 2 kiddos.
What else? 6 more weeks until the little Sherpa arrives. Now, if only we had a name for the little tike. We have a solid list of names, but not one that has stuck. Madeline is still stuck on Coco; which is short for Coconut. At this rate, it may stick. ha! We are settling into the new digs. 2 weeks now and already we know more neighbors than ever before. It's great. Of course, the not so great part is the AC breaking within a 4 days of closing and then being without it for a week. That was less than ideal. Oh well, it is now fixed.
Okay - off to bed, but hope you enjoyed a quick update. Julie
