Catching Up

 I'm not sure where to start in order to catch up what has been going on in life... so I'm going to just share some info, and it might not be in chronological order.

With the advice of our realtor, Hubby and I made the decision to try to get our home on the market by June 15... I'm trying to remember the details... I think we made that decision just before Memorial day.  So we had about 3 weeks to try to prepare our house.

It has been CRAZY!

Hubby and I have been working like crazy, putting the kids to work as much as possible, hiring some middle schoolers a few times to help with the kids, and pack closets and cupboards.

We found a painter who agreed to paint the entire inside of the house before we listed... and most of the painting time coincided with our time away in Vail.

Our house is now officially for sale and we get to figure out the world of showings... praying that it goes under contract quickly and we don't have to prepare for showings too many times.

Tracey and Howard are playing softball (well, Howard is t-ball, and Tracey is coach-pitch) with practices and/or games two nights/week.  Tracey and Caroline are doing cheerleading, which practices two afternoons a week, and Tracey, Howard, Caroline, and Lee Lee are in two back-to-back sessions of swim classes at the local pool.

We have been running around like crazy.

So, with that said, I'll include a few pictures from our time in Vail -- the girls DESPERATELY wanted me to take them to the SPA.  We had to wait until Daddy and Grammie and Papa were available to watch Howard and the little boys, but then they were able to enjoy the ladies hot tub, the room for relaxing, and the fancy shower with 5 heads.  Then, I dried and curled their hair, and put some fancy products in their hair, and let them put on lipstick.  It was very special to enjoy time with them, just the girls.
