Well, it looks like this year's scrapbook is going to be shamefully empty. At the end of each of the past few years, I have taken my blog posts and favorite photos and carefully edited them into a Shutterfly photo book to have a physical record of our family fun and activities. Since I haven't posted in about, well, forever, it looks like 2011's book will be woefully small.
Tomorrow is Mia's last day of first grade. Laney had her last day of preschool last Wednesday, and is sick with a fever today. We also bought a new house today! Monday the new owners move into our current house, so Sunday we will be moving into a temporary apartment until we close in August on our new one in Great Falls, Va. The girls are excited about the prospect of a pool for the summer, and I'm not looking forward to the 3 staircases I have to figure out how to climb with a toddler and whatever else I need to bring up to the new digs. But, we're grateful to have found a place that fits our needs and would rent to us short-term. (More about the new house later as I don't want to jinx anything and have had eerily terrible luck with houses this spring.)
So for now, I'm off to bed after packing a few boxes, and I'll take my camera with me tomorrow to get some fun shots of Mia's friends and school.
(Grr, please forgive the sideways Mia picture. All the recent photos of her were taken vertically, and our camera has a setting that automatically flips them for viewing on the lcd screen. This results in sideways pics on the blog if the original photo was taken vertically. Anyone know how to undo this after the fact? )
