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!
