Count down begins!

Today is the 15th -

Close on the 31st for our little house!
Get the keys on Sept 2nd.
Begin painting (what colors, I don't know)
Pull up some carpet in the basement.
Plant some hostas and tulips (dad, I'll need you for that one)
Maybe get some furniture -hah! we have no furniture
oh and MOVE IN!
and
in time
get a puppy (lab? we think so)
We are so so excited! Our first house.


And tonight - a visit to Pizza Shmizza (yes - that is the name of
a pizza place - but it's really good!)


After pizza - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix!

I'm not nerd, I swear.

I miss her today.

I started work on Monday. Finally.
I decided to put up a picture of the three of us.
It makes me smile when I glance over at it.
But it makes me miss her too.
She was so precious.

I like this picture of Tim and I because it reminds me of the JOY we had through the midst of the storm.
We really enjoyed taking the maternity pictures.
It was like we were acknowledging and celebrating this little life...even if we knew the outcome.
She made us laugh so many times with her kicks and karate chops.
Little Lyla Grace.
I have never known love like this.
