Whirling Dervishes!

It's been a pretty eventful week here at the ranch. Everybody's running around like crazy! Today, we finished having our entire yard re-landscaped. We started just wanting to repair all of the tree damage from last August -- and ended up with an entire yard redo. It looks so nice now! Bea enjoyed watching all of the guys working, especially the man driving the bobcat. She kept waving to them, but got frustrated because they were working and not looking at her. (It's sort of a theme with her...)

Matt and I also went to look at some houses this week. We are trying to decide if we should move. We like our house, our neighborhood, and especially our neighbors. Unfortunately, the house doesn't have an office, master closet, or three-car garage... which we'd really like. And, even more important, it's in a bad school district. So, we're debating, and debating... So far, we have only seen one house we like a lot, but it was overpriced. We've also seen a lot of houses we didn't like at all. Well, we're certainly in no hurry!

In addition, it's the busy season for Matt's work -- so he's been going non-stop. And, I've had a lot of big deadlines this week. So, it's busy, busy, busy.

As for Miss Beatrice, she can now crawl incredibly fast and is desperately trying to figure out how to stand up on her own. Once she gets that, she will be unstoppable --because she walks pretty fast holding hands. She is also adding new vocabulary everyday. She now lets us know when she wants "MO!!" food. Some people swear she also says "Thank You" -- and it does sound like it, but I think the jury's still out.

Finally, Bea spent her first night away from both Matt and I last Saturday. We went to an engineering banquet in Duluth (a few house north of Minneapolis) and Bea stayed with Grandma Liz and Grandpa Dick. A good time was had by all.

Hope all is well with you!
Melissa
