Weekend Wrap-Up

So after a 4 week break, Brooke is back at CCF on Saturdays which she absolutely loves. One of the many qualities of Brooke that I LOVE is that she gets SO excited whenever I tell her that she is going somewhere, anywhere...to school, to the library, to the park...anywhere. Several weeks ago, Brooke had a playdate with Lyric (our cute little neighbor across the street) and that morning as soon as Brooke woke up, she got herself dressed, put a bow in her hair and said that she was ready to go. It was 8 o'clock in the morning! Needless to say, we try not to tell her about her fun activites ahead of time or else she won't be able to sleep the night before! For goodness sake, she's only 3! haha!

I digress. Back to Saturday. After we dropped off Brooke, we had 2 appointments scheduled with Julianne to see 2 houses. One in Trophy Club and one is Grapevine. As we are heading to the one in TC, we are getting excited. The location is promising, the gated community is fabulous, the area is just lovely, and then we walk in the house.....HORROR. It's just awful! No wonder it's in our price range, no wonder it was too good to be true. The story is that contractors bought the land, built the house, ran out of money, sold it to a couple who then gave up on finishing out the house and there you have it, a fairly NEW house (2006) that is still not finished and needs a TON of work. Well, no wonder it was the cheapest one in the neighborhood! Moving onto Grapevine. This house is a foreclosure. It's in our price range, fairly new (2004), great location, great elementary school, great layout, single level, gourmet kitchen, and so on and so on. The "problem" with this one is that we just weren't feeling it and that's a good enough reason for us. We're not in any hurry anyway and our house isn't even on the market!

At Palio's. Yummy!

Linda surprised us by showing up at Palio's with Chloe and Noah!

When it's time to go "Night, night", Brody immediately jumps into Brooke's bed and gets under her covers! Too cute! We pray that this brother and sisterly love continues for a lifetime!

A sweet picture of Brooke that Blake took after church today. What an angel! ;)
