Old House, New Apartment

The Cabin

Somewhere between throwing Alice's first birthday party and moving from San Marcos to Austin, we had a little vacation! We stayed a night out at Pecan Park Campground with Mim and Pop. We had a lovely swim in the river with the Gardners and Jamie and then grilled burgers and hot dogs. Alice loved the loft--it was just her size! We slept up there with her. It was so fun!

Groovy Shades, Little Dude

Aunt Abbey sent these for Alice's birthday. They look so cute on her, and she actually keeps them on! You can tell from the mirror shots that she thinks she looks cute in them.

Good House News!

I met with the builder yesterday, and he showed me the wiring and other things around the house. He also told me that the projected closing date is October 16th! That is a month earlier than we expected!

The construction guys laughed at me as I took pictures of the house. I must have looked like a lost tourist. I can't believe how fast they are working. I love the roofline, the attic window and porch.
Just a few more days here in this old house. 10 to be exact. Oh my gosh--did I just say 10? Yikes! I should get busy. We are at such a funny point now trying to decide what to pack. We are sorting through all of our remaining possesions in the house deciding what to cram into our 1 bedroom apartment for 3 months and what we can lock away in storage. All the while Alice pulls everything she can out of the boxes she can reach into. What a joker. I just wish she could pack her own stuff!

Basket Head

The little Peach loves to help. When mommy puts things in a box, she gets it out and shows it to her to make sure she really wanted in the box. "Are you sure you have to put my best toys in the box, Mommy?" She is an expert unpacker.
She is also a wonderful accessorizor. You see that she is wearing a lovely basket for a hat. How very posh.
