Summer is coming!!!!

Last week was really our first taste of how great summer is going to be. Our new neighborhood had a block party which we went to. The kids had a blast. Between playing on the fire trucks, bounce houses, sprinkles and water guns they were exhausted by the end of the night. I love that almost everyone in our neighborhood has kids..mostly 5 and under by there are also some kids Alex's age as well which is great. On Sunday Sarah and I went out and got a triple slip and slide and new sprinkler and sat it the backyard while the kids played. Our friend Lisa came over for a bit with her son Colin and after she left we invited the neighbors over with their kids. The only thing missing was a cold beer in my hand :) the kids had a blast and I love that we can just sit back and chat with the neighbors while the kids play. Now if only they would hurry up and finish my house so I don't have to drive so far and can just walk home :)

Moving along

The house is finally starting to look like a house!!! I'm so excited. Rob and I have been in flordia since late Tuesday night..a very much needed vacation!after a crazy and busy weekend last weekend that included 23 hours of work for me I could not be happier to have a few days off. Rob has had to work a little while we have been here but not to much. We have had a couple work dinners, which is really just a night of free drinking for me. :) apparently I have a reputation around Bosch as being a social butterfly. Doesn't seem like to bad of a reputation. While we have been gone I have put Sarah in charge of pictures of the house. Our first floor is done and they are hoping to finish the second floor today and the roof next week. We really have about 2 more months till we move in!!! To say I was excited would be a understatement! I love our community. Almost everyone has kids, mostly 5 and under but there are so older kids for Alex as well. We also have bbqs every Friday night starting this month and going through September at a different families house. Awesome I know!!! I think the kids are going to love it when we move. For now I am off to breakfast and then out to get a tan ( let's be honest I'm getting a sunburn) while I'm in flordia. I will add house pictures when I get back to Chicago. Kate
