He's a Walkin' Boy

Gavin started walking about 1 1/2 weeks ago - just a few days after his bday. I just love these first steps!

I Need Recommendations

Since we'll be moving in 2 1/2 weeks, I'm trying to make some better choices with our utility bills. Have any of you used any VoIP services, like Vonage or Phone Power? How do you like them? Do they drop your calls often? Can you go from one end of the house to the other on the same phone? What about Dish? Anyone get a great deal somewhere? Also, who's got a great, cheap DSL service? Thanks for your help!

Happy 1st Birthday, Gavin!

Random

I was looking through Brighton's camera from our vacation this summer and found this; I laughed pretty hard.

Just Hold It

Carter, Gavin and I were checking out at the grocery store yesterday and I could tell that Carter really had to go potty. I told him "Just try and hold it for a few more minutes - we're almost done." His reply: "But Daddy told me I'm not supposed to hold it." Funny, literal kid.

Only 1 hr. and 12 min. to go...

...until I see my babeis again! The first day of school is always so SLOW for me, especially when I have a brand new Kindergartener!

 

 

House Pics - for Mom

Mom asked for some updates on our house - it's really coming along and we're getting SO excited for it to be finished. We close on our house we're in right now in 1 1/2 weeks (after almost 100 showings in 4 1/2 months - crazy!), will rent back from them, and then close on our new one on Oct. 10. Yay!
The front - getting close on the bricking; the back is complete.

Sorry - don't have any pics of bedrooms, study, etc., but these are more of the open areas and give you a better feel of the house. We miss you, Mom!
