Our final answer

Posted on May 3, 2005November 26, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

Well, we looked at quite a few houses again today, and feel very solid about making an offer on the Wethersfield house. We actually were early to the showing and got to talk with the mom. Her daughter, Mary-Grace, goes to CHCA and is a friend of Abigails’. We found out about the neighborhood —…

And the winner is…

Posted on May 2, 2005November 26, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

Nothing yet. We do have a heavy favorite in Maineville. One drawback is a smaller, valley-like backyard that isn\’t bigger than what we have now – and it’s obviously a drainage river for the neighborhood. Disappointing, but not sure it’s enough to keep us from putting in an offer. Everything on the inside is near…

Thoughts on moving

Posted on April 28, 2005November 26, 2019 by Sonya Armstrong

Well, it’s not quite 11:30 p.m. and it feels like 2 in the morning. I’ve quit painting the kitchen for tonight; have to remember; “baby steps”, and I shall continue another night. There isn’t really a whole lot on the list of tasks we need to do to get our house ready to sell, but…

Sneezing, wheezing mess of confusion

Posted on April 20, 2005November 26, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

It’s always lovely to wake up and gaze out the window at a van that is covered in an orange/yellow dust of pollen. “AACHOOOO!!!!” Ugh. I’m so stuffed up and itchy and sneezy. We’ve started to look at houses. Sad and exciting. Happening much quicker than I anticipated. Our realtor, Tony Jenkins, is great. He…

Sewing and Reaping

Posted on April 17, 2005November 26, 2019 by Sonya Armstrong

As Paul hunkered down and worked his butt off, putting up two more sections of fence, I planted my first tomatoes with the assistance of Elliott and Abigail. We were outside a good portion of the day, using our hands in various ways. I sure hope we get some beautiful tomatoes come June. I think…

The Party Is Over And Now it’s Time to Rest

Posted on April 10, 2005November 24, 2019 by Sonya Armstrong

There are 18 purple and pink balloons, silently hugging the ceiling, strings hanging down around me, as I type this. Earlier today, there were 5 laughing and screaming girls hopping and spinning through the balloon strings playing various unicorn-themed games. All is quiet now, and I’m about to turn in. Abigail seemed to have a…

Almost Six With An Anticipated Growth Spurt (overnight!)

Posted on April 7, 2005November 24, 2019 by Sonya Armstrong

Saturday is the big day: Abigail will be celebrating her sixth year of life and words cannot adequately describe how excited she is! Tonight, before bed, she let me in on a little secret — something she is convinced of: Abigail said that when she wakes up tomorrow morning, if she has grown at all…

Intentionally pointless banter

Posted on April 7, 2005November 24, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

(on the way to the van, going to school) Elliott : “Daddy, put on ‘Let Go’.” Me : “Ok” Elliott : “Only girls can sing that song…” Me : “That is true, I don’t think…” Elliott : “Mommy sings with it, but I don’t like that” (in the van) Elliott : “The next song is…

What’s next?

Posted on April 3, 2005November 24, 2019 by Sonya Armstrong

If I could put my finger on the day Elliott started to become as he so eloquently calls, mischievous (you wonder how he knows that word, that would be from the facial/emotions cards we go through sometimes to help the kids identify with their feelings and learn new feeling words to better understand their emotions…etc….
