80s Day

Avery's school had "Decade Day" last week and Avery chose the 80s, although I'm not exactly sure why.  I wanted to dress her up as one of the Robert Palmer girls from Addicted to Love, but Charlie said that was a little much for a seven year old. We went with more of the Cindy Lauper/Madonna look instead. Avery was soooo excited. I told her about the whole Flashdance craze, so she was all for cutting up one of her tshirts.  Louisa pulled the scraps from the trash can to make her own leg warmers. So resourceful! She wore them for three days straight. Funny girl.

She's a maniac!

We're baaack...

We're back from our blogcation and have lots to share. Our biggest news is that we are MOVING AGAIN! Holy smokes. We sure didn't see this one coming when we moved here last summer, but c'est la vie, right? Charlie's company closed their office here in Atlanta, and after much deliberation, he has decided to accept an offer to stay with the company... but in another city! Agggh! 

So, we are going to pack it up and move again. Charlie is excited about his new position and we're excited to be closer to "home".  I am not particularly looking forward to packing/unpacking  and house hunting again, but I suppose that's just a hurdle that will be behind us by the time fall rolls around. The upside - Charlie's company will buy our house here if we don't sell it in 90 days, so that's a huge load off our minds considering the state of the housing market. 

So it's goodbye Georgia peaches, hello WINDY CITY! 

I don't have any pictures to go with this topic (unless you want to see a picture of me searching for houses online), so here are some shots of all the flowers and plants we've planted to celebrate spring. We'll be here a for a couple more months, might as well enjoy the view, right?
