We have been scheduled to close on our house on 3 separate occasions and on all 3 occasions we have been notified the day of or day before or 2 hours before said closing time that we in fact will not be closing - now y'all who know Eric know him to be short for words, but the other morning when we were told for the 3rd time that the closing was to be postponed, Austin & I had to leave the apartment because Mr. B was one UNHAPPY camper and the attorney who called probably didn't know how to deal with Mr. B....now we are set to close on Monday - we hope.
This is an obvious expression of how happy Austin is about this whole deal...he in fact is having a temper tantrum because he had to come in from outside where he has been spending much of his time lately as it has been pretty here in ATL - we have been building "stick walls" out of fallen branches and playing in the mud since it too has been raining!! Yippee!!
It is the end of my 1st session of classes, so I am busy with grading & getting ready for the 2nd session - my university teaches 2 8-week sessions in one semester, different courses each session, so we have busy weeks in between sessions - but it is nice to get new students/topics every 8 weeks!
Since the closing was set, we have also been meeting with painters, carpet people, cabinet makers, gutter folks, etc, etc and that takes up a whole mess of time since the new house is about 45 minutes away from where we live now.
About a week ago, I went to a consignment sale to buy clothes for Austin & Ansley for this summer and got Austin a cute hat - he loves it despite the silly expression on his face - for some reason when he sees the camera this is his chosen pose!! We can't seem to get a better "posed" smile out of him, so we try to catch him when he does not see the camera coming!!
We have also decided to take Austin out of daycare starting in the Fall & have his current nanny (who watches him when I need to do work outside of Tuesdays & Thursdays) to watch him & Ansley for the next year - it will actually save us money & time as she lives closer to our new house that the daycare is - AND she totally supports my thoughts on no TV - so we hope it will work out well.
Anywho, that is all that is fit to write for now, hopefully we will have a nice weekend and can take some pictures outside - have a great Thursday!!

I hope Monday's closing goes as planned. That's frustrating I'm sure. It's good to see you on here again. I was starting to think you all had caught the flu too.
