did i say within the week? i did, didn't i?

well - here goes. it'll have to be short.

we bought a house today. it's a sweet little house in clintonville and i feel so thankful quite frankly a little nervous. okay - a lot.

so... you may not hear from me this week because i have to pack our home while singlehandedly taking care of three kids. why? because chris is being a hero and refinishing the basement before we move in next week so that our kids have somewhere to play.

funny kid quote of the day (julian, age 2) "I'm freaking out, dude!" (said to me in the beginning stages of a tantrum over getting in the bath.

poignant kid quote of the day (emerson, age 5 who has been having a bit of anxiety over the move) "mom? i'm not nervous anymore." (said to me on the phone from the new house where he went over to check it out with daddy)

wish us luck...... we're gonna' need it to make it to the other side of this month.
