Summer's still got 3 months to go but this is the biggest I can recall her belly being at this stage. We're just coming into the [sarcasm]wonderful[/sarcasm] summer here in TX and it's been a steady 95-98 with 50+% humidity. Lovely. If it's not muggy, it stormin'. At least EVERYONE getting a nice glistening when they're out and about.
But back to my pregnant wife; I'll try to get a pic of the bun in the oven if Summer will let me. Convince her, won't you?
The kids are about done with school and will be on a short break. Ciara's starting 9th grade soon. Isn't that nuts?
Our kids are taking full advantage of their Filipino heritage and the genetic protections that their genes afford them. In other words, they're getting quite dark as they spend a couple hours in the pool every day.
I'm going to sign out with one thought: Carol (my mother in law) is flying to Mexico for a 4-day vacation tomorrow. After you pick your jaw up from the ground, please pray for her safety. She's excited and nervous as she's never flown before.
Tchau tchau!

First things first: new pics are up in the Gallery.
Lots of painting going on right now: kitchen, dining room, hall, and family room. We're also trying to finish out the kids' rooms before the influx of family next week.
My office is just about done. We just need a good framed WW2 aircraft print and to hang up Pepper's picture and medals.
Pool's set to be finished this weekend. Should be groovy!

Our house is buried in boxes! ;)
Trucks were unloaded last week Thursday and we've been slowly unpacking them all. The kitchen appliances are all finally installed (the warming drawer and oven/microwave combo were put in today) so we can finally cook regular food!
We had a yard sale on Saturday since our neighbors were doing it too and sold off some of the excess furniture we had. We have literally two sets of just about everything since Summer's parents are with us.
The pool remodel is going to start on Friday. We're getting new flagstone coping, redoing the concrete surrounding the pool, replacing the old tile in the spa with natural stone, replastering the pool with a mix of colored mica to darken the appearance of the water, fix the lighting in the pool, and pour some concrete to create a patio near the house. The spa will have a neat little fountain feature too.
We should be getting our couch for upstairs very soon. We still need to redo some carpentry in the upstairs living area so that we can move the TV to its final spot, along with the components. Once we clear the downstairs, we will install yet one more TV and then we should be done with the entertainment areas.
More later...

For some reason, my previous blog entry said that our trucks were delivered 3 days ago. Not true! We had them delivered and unloaded today and now we're in a maze of boxes and half-assembled furniture. Tomorrow we begin digging through everything in earnest so that we can make this place truly home. We also need to quickly identify items that we can sell at a yard sale on Saturday. One of our neighbors is having a yard sale that day so we thought we'd piggy back on their advertisement. :)
Our attic is gonna be full of boxes and such when we're done. We're trying to stay away from renting a storage unit since they are so pricey. Hopefully the HOA doesn't get uptight about our 3 vehicles being parked in our driveway.
Pics soon!
