For those of you who might not know, we've been looking for a house. A new urgency was discovered with the news that we're expecting #2 on December 22nd and our one room apartment on Capital Hill won't do.
We thought the summer would be a great time to move because I would have time to make necessary "adjustments" to our new home, which, based on our options would definitely need adjusting. We've made 3 offers in the past month and a half and something has foiled every attempt. I guess it isn't the right time and we haven't found the right place, so my best guess is that we'll rent a bigger place and hold off on the house buying...only a guess.
Anyway, now I have the summer with Iris and it has been fantastic just to hang and play with her, so forget a house - it's the summer of I and I!!
I'm going to try and do a "pic of the day". I probably won't happen EVERY day, but I'll do my best. My last day at school was last Friday so I need to backtrack a few days...
Saturday June 27th - Jay, Lisa and girls were here visiting (thanks for coming guys!) and we swam in there hotel pool. (pictured, Iris, Jay and Clara)
Sunday June 28th - We had an early birthday party for Clara, Ella, and Iris. This is Iris's 1st cup cake. What I really like about this pic though is the monster hand and it's clear definition from the forearm
Monday June 29th - we spent the morning at Lincoln Park. Who said big girls aren't agile?
Tuesday June 30th - I forgot the camera on our walk to Metro center to exchange de-magnetized fare cards...not too exciting anyway, so another of the park.
Wednesday July 1 - the blow up kiddi pool! A buddy and his daughter, little G, pictured, with their dog in the background, stirring up mosquitoes.
Thursday July 2nd - the explorer.

Iris's hand/arm is awesome..."Pic of the Day?" This from a guy before kids who could have had "The only pic of the year"...

Been missing you and the ladies at church lately, but saw Al in the park yesterday which was nice.
House hunting is a thorn in the side. I think Paul's thorn was that he was constantly trying to transition from renting to owning in a tight real estate climate. We feel your pain.
Hang in there.
Great pics! Looks like the one of I. by the tree is Position Something in her ballet repertoire! maybe?
Now in the arm-and-hand pic she really looks like you did, Ian=)
So glad your two fams could get together...but a looong ride. See you ALL soon!!!
