So long another summer

I always lay claims that while the calendar still says we are in summer, that the "summer season" runs between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Tomorrow that means we prepare for fall. What all does that mean around here? Well, there is lots to do, but mainly my evenings will be occupied by soccer. Otherwise, it's getting the yard ready for winter and any preparations that need to go along with it. We are also preparing for many projects around the house, and for that planning is necessary. Of course, Olivia will always keep us hopping.

Our current projects are pretty simple:

1. Fix the hot tub (again)
2. Finish moving our master bedroom
3. Finish building in the storage room

I've got one small project to wrap up in the bathroom too, but these are the all projects that will continue into winter since I can be doing them indoors. My list seems to change pretty frequently as well, so who knows what might be next. For moving our master bedroom, I don't recall if I mentioned earlier that we purchased a new bed. We had to make changes, for me I had neck problems and for Heather she had back issues, and still is having some issues. They are not bed related, but finally we think the bed is not contributing to the problem.

We spent a couple weeks ago doing some moving around and getting rid of some of the beds we don't need and don't use much. So now we are preparing for a couple things. Getting the guest room set up, and getting the new "play room" set up upstairs. This will be how we plan to operate for the forseeable future around the house. It's fun planning it out, and not so fun moving all the heavy items, but it's going to make life easier as Olivia continues to grow. Speaking of Olivia, for those that haven't seen our big girl in a while and are harassing me about it (you know who you are) here are a couple recent photos.
