The Latest



We left C with my mom in Texas while we went house hunting in our new city!!! She had tons of fun and out of all the toys my mom has for her this was her favorite! How funny. She would climb in out of it all day if she could have. The other picture is of our new house. We are pretty excited and overwhelmed by the whole house buying process but are looking forward to having a house to call ours. Atleast for a little while anyways :)

Lemons



While eatting dinner with my family on Father's Day we discovered that Claire loves lemons! She kept asking for the lemon on my glass so I gave in to her. I figured oh one bite and she will give it up...Nope! She just kept asking for the lemons on every one elses glasses. She ate like 2 lemons until mom said no more. Mean ole mom... So funny. She likes pickles too. My brothers thought it was pretty funny.

Do you miss us yet?



For all those who care...The howards have been on the move lately. We packed, moved and cleaned our house until it gleamed then passed the inspection with not so flying colors. They said something about our carpet having spots and that we were going to have to pay a $75 cleaning fee. That just set me off considering the people who lived in the house before us had 2 Rottweilers and 4 kids and grass growing in the carpet were the a/c unit flooded a room. How were they going to charge us for carpet that should have been replaced 3 yrs ago. Anyways. I won that battle.

All 5 of us drove to Dallas and passed off C and the dogs. We then took a plane to S.C. to house hunt. Woo Hoo. Yeah that was a lot of fun. While we were there we learned that the market is 32% over priced! Great place to try and live off base :) We have a few options still but still don't have a house.

Then I drove back to H town to spend some time with family and pick up C and the dogs. Nate went ahead to OK. Soon we will meet him up there.

Our lives are crazy right now. We are living out of a well packed mini van and awaiting some normalcy once we get to OK. Missing everyone in IL...

Bounce, Bounce, Bounce




We went to a friend's promotion party tonight and they had their own personal bouny bounce. Claire really enjoyed having the whole thing to herself. She loves to fall face first into a bed of pillows so this was even better because there were sides! They didn't have toys like this when we were kids!
