Weekend Warrior

This weekend Daddy was out of town for football games (Aggies & Cowboys). The girls stayed home to continue working on the house. Friday has become the Ledezma family's movie night complete with popcorn. Unfortunately for the girls, daddy makes the popcorn...unfortunately for mommy, the girls remembered that movie night means popcorn too. Mommy ended up making the popcorn, as similar to daddy as possible, fortunately their palates are not refined to notice too much of a difference or taste the subtle burnt flavor...

Saturday the girls had an afternoon with BB, which made it easier for mom to run all the weekend's errands. Then on Sunday, we walked, yes, walked to the park. It was beyond awesome to be able to walk to the park and more than that, to have a choice of which park to walk to was even more awesome. The girls are growing up so fast as mommy watched them play it was hard to remember a time, when we had to hold their hand as they climbed, swang and jumped through the playground.

Firetrucks!

Allison's school had a visit from the fire department today. Her teacher sent us the pictures and by the looks of it, she really enjoyed...

Boxes, boxes

We have spent the last two weeks furiously unpacking. It is shocking how many boxes of 'things' came out of our old house. We have finished unpacking the essentials and now we are tasked with the finishing touches, which is a lot....especially since we simply don't have enough furniture for the new house. This weekend we went furniture/rug shopping, which is always an exciting experience when you go with a 6 and 2 year old, who have better things to do.... We ended up looking at stuff in the store then going home and ordering everything online, which we expect to arrive in 2 weeks...whew!

Daddy's Birthday!

Daddy celebrated his birthday this week...we can't believe it's already rolled around again. As soon as it's daddy's birthday it seems like we're celebrating new year's in no time. This year daddy's birthday fell in the middle of the week, but the girls still made it special for him. We started with a strawberry cheesecake the day before (daddy's favorite) and then went to a special dinner on his birthday. Abigail made a special picture for daddy and Allison, well, she was Allison and said it was her birthday before finally conceding and singing him "Happy Birthday".

Daddy's three girls are so lucky to have him in our lives. We hope to always make it a special birthday for him!

Big Girl Bed

We spent the first night in our house last night and Allison spent her first night in a BIG GIRL bed! She did amazing. We are so proud of her. She didn't even have to get up to go potty and didn't have an accident in bed. She's getting to be such a big girl, we are now saying goodbye to pull ups and cribs at night! In conjunction with our first night, we also had our first "home" cooked meal at home too. Our dear friend, Ramona, brought by a delicious dinner from Creative Kitchen complete with frosted cookies for the girls. Needless, to say, even among the boxes and clutter the girls were pleased with their dinner.

Moving day

Moving day was extremely bittersweet. While we long ago outgrew our wonderful duplex, it was still difficult to pack up and move away, even if it it's a 4 minute drive to our new house. We have many special memories of our first home in Fort Smith. It is the place Abigail learned how to walk, it was gutted and remodeled to our vision, Allison came home from the hospital to this home, learned to crawl, walk and talk, and the girls spent countless BB days walking back and forth between each side. It's a home and luxury we will miss quite a bit. Even though we are excited to be looking forward to a new home and all the new memories, looking back brings a tear to our eyes and we count our blessings that we got to spend 5 years in such a wonderful space, next door to their BB.

Getting Closer...

We've been renovating for a little over a month now and we are seeing the finish line...at least to the point where we can move in. Daddy has been working hard on tiling the floor in the laundry room and the backsplash in the kitchen meanwhile mommy and the girls are busy deep cleaning the house for moving day. As soon as the tiling is complete the house is ready enough for us to move in. Moving day is September 15th!!

Much Love,
