Taking Hello Kitty for a walk

Mom, Amaya, and I had an eventful Easter weekend. With the sale of the house, we are now in the hunt for an apartment...I was shocked to find out how expensive furnished apartments are! We hopefully found a place that will take us animals and all. The girls enjoyed the weekend together as the rest of the family was out-of-state for one reason or another. We had a great time shopping, walking the parks (as you can see, Amaya decided not to just walk Kasey, she also decided to walk her Hello Kitty around the house) and dinner at PF Changs (gotta love their GF menu). Amaya finally had her 1 year pictures taken and the kid wouldn't sit still long enough for a picture. She was too busy chatting and running over to the prop box to kiss all of the stuffed animals (too cute!) Overall, we are all doing fabulously well. Everything seems to be falling into place.

The Countdown Has Begun!

We have been in a constant whirlwind the past two-weeks. We put our home on the market, had the fabulous Myra & Jodie visit, found out Kasey (my doggie baby) has diabetes, flew to San Antonio to watch Michael be promoted (Yippee!!!), and got a contract on the house...all in less than two weeks!

We are so happy with all we have been blessed with and I am trying to slow down, take a breath, and enjoy the moments as they come. I have a new found respect for single parents-Amaya and I are so lucky to have my momma here to be a momma =) I was also so fortunate to have Jodie and Myra visit when they did-Michael had just left, we had our first showing (The people loved it so much...they wrote up an offer-I hope I am not jinxing myself by writing this...), and it was just plain crazy at our house. They were here to talk, walk, and have a great glass of wine with me =)

Amaya is getting even better with age! She is absolutley the best thing ever!!! She is a little comedian-who loves making others laugh with her weird sounds, funny faces, and new words. Today she was saying, "Peek-a-boo" while running and hiding behind the walls. So much fun!!!

San Antonio was a blast. There is a little bakery called "The Little Aussie Cafe." I had bread for the first time since August. It was a wonderful little place. We loved the riverwalk, the food, the shopping, and the people. I am looking forward to our next visit.
