A little behind...

So I'm pretty behind on blogging.  Sorry about that!  Things around the Hart household got pretty busy recently.  We found out almost two weeks ago that we're moving to Nacogdoches, so we've been preoccupied with getting the house ready to sell. 

And before that news, Taylor spent a week in Houston with Nana and Doodah.  Nana had a full itinerary for she and Taylor, and they did every bit of it!!  They went to Moody Gardens in Galveston, where Taylor got to see butterflies, sharks, penguins, manta rays, sea turtles and a 3D movie.  They also went to the Children's Museum where apparently Taylor had a blast.  After hearing about everything that they did, I can't wait to go with them!  Taylor also got to go to Chuck-E-Cheese for a b-day party....which I'm not so sure I'm glad about!  Every time we see a Chuck-E-Cheese commercial, she informs me that I never take her there, but Nana does!!  She's too young to explain WHY I never take her there!

And while Taylor was away in Houston, Grady made his own little trip.....to the ER!!  He was messing around (i.e., likely climbing) on my baker's rack and managed to knock down a big serving platter that I had.  The serving platter shattered and Grady ended up getting three gashes (two on the face, one on his finger) during the process.  As you might expect, Grady did not do very well getting stitches!!  But after all was said and done, he ended up being a great patient.  He never once bothered any of his stitches.  We were afraid that we were going to have to put one of those dog-cone collars around his neck to keep him from messing with his eyebrow stitches!!

As for moving, we're just patiently waiting.  The house has officially been on the market for a week.  It would be great if it would sell fast, but we're pretty realistic about it.  People aren't pouring into Henrietta, so we know it might take longer than we'd like.  We can't even begin to think about buying a new house until this house sells, so we'll be homeless for a while.  Tyson will likely stay in his parents' RV in Nacogdoches, while the kids and I take turns staying in Houston and Allen.

 

Poor Grady! Two stitches above his eye, a cut on the top of his nose and one stitch on his index finger that he's holding up.  

The next day, a close-up shot of the eye. 

And one of the finger.

Taylor informed me this penguin was her friend b/c he kept hanging out by the window the whole time she was looking at the penguins.

Playing at the Children's Museum.

Nana said that Taylor spent so much time exploring everything that they didn't even see the entire museum.  I guess we'll be going back!

Pretending to shop!  It is one of her favorite things to do in real life, too!

 Just got her first real manicure and pedicure!
