Renovation Update

Renovating is a family affair and this weekend was no exception. The floors are finished, the granite is in and the painting is complete (maybe some touch-ups). Daddy and BB were in Dallas this weekend so it was the girls, Papa and mommy working on the house. Now that we've completed most of the "big stuff" there are a few minor items that need to be completed. We are updating the brass plates by spray painting them, which Abby and Allie helped mommy do. Papa installed the new faucets in the laundry and girls' bathrooms. Then daddy got home on Sunday and started installing the new floor in the laundry room. So close....so close!

Allison's First Haircut

Allie had her very first haircut this week! She sat very still through the whole thing and was very excited to be a "big girl"!

Abigail's First Day!

Abigail's first day of 1st grade and her first day at a new school! We moved Abigail to a new school this year for many reasons, there were some major changes at her old school that we were not entirely comfortable with and while mom and dad made the final decision, Abigail was completely on board with changing schools. The school she moved to was named a Blue Ribbon school last year and from everyone we speak with in town it is one of the best schools in the city. We are pleased with our decision, even though we are going to miss the friends we gained at CTK we know that we will make many more friends at EL!

Allison's First Day!

 Allison started her first day in the preschool 3 year old class! It's hard to believe that she's already moving up to the 3 year old class, our baby isn't a baby anymore. She did really well on her first day even though she was a bit unsure of her new surroundings. We know she'll end up loving her new class!

8th Annual Petropolitan

This Thursday night was the 8th annual Petropolitan fundraiser to support Kitties & Kanines Veterinary Clinic. Jennifer has been involved with the board for 5 years now and she was elected as the chairman for this year's event. In the middle of a renovation and school starting next week, it ended up being a little busy! Even with all the craziness surrounding the event, the event itself was the most successful Petropolitan yet, raising more than $155,000 to support the clinic! We look forward to many more successful Petropolitans. The board has asked Jennifer to chair the event again next year...she has politely (?) declined! She's looking forward to working the sidelines next year!

Ledezma Visit/Renovations!

Abigail and Allison's schools were each closed for one week at the end of summer in preparation for fall, unfortunately they were closed on different weeks. We had originally planned for them to go visit Grandma & Grandpa, but with the new house Grandpa offered to come help do some of the work while Grandma watched the kids. They also brought Seth and Nate and the girls were excited to have visitors for two weeks! We got so much done at the house while they were here, we just stayed at the house and worked into the wee hours each night and we don't know what we would have done without Grandpa's help. He painted and replaced the faucets in our bathroom. Papa let us borrow his ladders for painting and figured out a way for us to get into some hard to reach places. We are so thankful to have them here to help! We are lucky, lucky people to have such wonderful parents/in-laws!

Much Love,

New House

The Ledezmas are officially homeowners again! We've decided to put down roots here and now that the girls are getting a little older, the space of our current home was getting a bit small. We are going to miss the duplex, because it is so beautiful and is designed just to our taste. We're also going to miss sharing a backyard with BB and Papa. The girls love walking across the backyard to visit in the evenings and on the weekends. However, we are very much looking forward to what will be our forever home. There will be a lot of late nights in store for us as we begin the renovating process (our fourth in seven years together!), but it will all be worth it in the end. Right after closing our agent gave us a lovely housewarming present so we immediately headed to the house to celebrate!

Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer
