Swimming with the floaties



CJ is loving the pool in our apartment complex. The lifeguards have become quite taken with CJ, giving her "VIP status," and she has made fast friends with a three-year-old boy in our building. They go swimming every afternoon together, and even do a little drag racing on occasion.



The exciting news is that we put a bid down on a house that we liked. One of the sellers was an architect who did such a great job redesigning the kitchen that we overlooked the wall-to-wall carpeting in the basement. Our offer was too low and we lost the house, unfortunately, but it was good to get our feet wet in the real estate market down here. We're all determined not to let the next house get away.

But it's not all bad. If we had bought the house, we would have had to move out and lose access to the pool before the summer was done...

We've had an insane couple of months (not an interstate move, but family stuff nonetheless) but I'm happy to have caught up on your blog. I'm glad CJ is enjoying the new place and pool! New job, new house, new car... I'm tired just reading it!! Talk to you soon! Oddly enough, I get to DC more frequently than I do NYC.
