De Leon House update

Busy busy busy around the De Leon households this month. We know it is a crazy time full of chaos but we are determined to survive this:
  • Teri will be out of town for 2 weeks in Sept. and again some in October.

  • The beginning of my semester. I have 7 classes.

  • Vin is adjusting to 4 days a week at Mother's Day Out and is transitioning to 1 nap a day. (God help us!)
  • Vin is cutting a molar. Yes a molar, can you believe that the kid only has one tooth on the bottom but has 6 on top and more on the way.

  • Priming and painting the entire new house, ceilings included.
  • Making big purchase decisions like paint colors, lighting, sinks, faucets etc.

  • Packing up the East Side house and moving to San Saba
House Progress - now when you see some of these pictures you won't think it's progress but trust me, it is.
