Well there isn't anything too thrilling going on in our lives right now...oh wait...maybe this counts: we are moving to Texas! We've been going back and forth with this idea for a few months. I think we've finally settled on moving. There's a lot to get done and take care of before we go, but if everything goes as planned we will be out of Chattanooga by August 31, 2008.

Riverbend was a week ago. We took Alyssa to see the fireworks and she was terribly scared. But then again she is scared of everything! We are trying to get her over a lot of her irrational fears. Her birthday is only a couple of weeks away and she is getting very excited. Yesterday she was walking all around the house singing the Happy Birthday song.

We spend most of our time at the pool and Alyssa is doing good about getting in the water. She mostly sits on the steps. Last weekend I was holding her and she told me she wanted to swim by herself. So, I let go of her (she was wearing a life jacket) and she tread water for a couple of minutes. She was very proud of herself!

Not too much going on these days. It's getting up into the 90's here so we are spending as much time as possible either inside or at the pool. We took Alyssa to see Kung Fu Panda last night and I have to say I thought it was hilarious. Alyssa got a little antsy towards the end but was well behaved the rest of the time.

Riverbend is going on this week, so we've been spending a little time downtown. Tomorrow we're going to watch our cousin Kendal in the Riverbend pageant. We are hoping to be able to get out to Houston sometime before the summer is over.

Alyssa's birthday is coming up soon and we've reserved the Chattanooga Zooon July 13 for her birthday party. We are pretty excited. We plan to buy her a bike and a kids digital camera as she has been begging for both lately. Here are a few pics from our pool fun. Oh and I dyed my hair brown!
