PERMITS!!

So we got our renovation permit today - demolition starts tomorrow! WOO HOO!

As of tomorrow, I'll be at 37 weeks, and the new boyo should be making his debut in a few short weeks. I've promised to the best of my ability to not have him between the 4th and 12th of April as my parents will be out of the country. But then again, I can only control that so much.

Drew and Connor have adjusted well to the rental house, or as we've been calling it, Mr. Victor's House. Drew will tell us if he wants to go to Mr. Victor's house or to Mommy and Daddy's house. Lately, he wants to go to Aunt Kim's house, which is great except I can't travel and Aunt Kim lives too far away for a playdate. Rumor has it that they will be in the area next week, and so hopefully we'll get to spend some good time with them! I'm going to propose a bus tour or DUC tour of DC with some of my nephews since that's something close to my office that we could do together one day next week. Which is also my last week of work for a while!

Connor is getting ready to transition to a new school next year, and Lee and I are sad that he will be leaving Tuckahoe and moving elsewhere. Of course, he has to keep moving because it means he's learning and growing, but we will miss the teachers, therapists and administrators who have been tireless advocates for Connor, and who have just plain loved his crazy little self the whole time, too.

Anyway - demolition in less than 12 hours. Game on. Bigger house - here we come. Now if only I can hold on in my basketball brackets I will feel like nothing can top 2009!
