"When your house is topsy turvous, and your nerves are getting nervous..."

Bethany, desperately trying to see Mike's car pull in after work. She kept saying, "Almost... almost."

Credit goes to our Dr Seuss movie for today's title, which cracks me up every time I hear the cat in the hat singing it.

We found a house in Mechanicsville and will be moving on May 31. Not a single box is packed thus far, but we'll get there. We had a great Mother's Day with Pete, Sally & Susannah!  I got a mean tick bite and am being treated for Lyme. The girls are cute and crazy as ever.  Mike is busy keeping up with the emotional ups and downs of four females in this house. Nathanael is gradually outgrowing his colicky stage, and his hair is extremely cool. Both hampers are full of dirty clothes, and there are piles and piles of clean laundry waiting to be folded.  That's an abridged update!

We love all of you! Please come visit us in Mechanicsville this summer.
