WE HAVE A DECISION!
After a long deliberation, we have finally dcided to make the move to Lexington, Kentucky. They made us an offer we couldn't refuse. So, once again, we have to sell our house, buy a new one, pack up and move. Thank you everyone for your support during this time of uncertainty.
Colin is happy about the move. Look at his two teeth! The two top ones are on their way in as well!
Colin and his age-matched friend, Neil!

CATCHING UP!!!
Phew! I am far behind! After our Kentucky trip, Jonny had a conference to go to so I hung out with Arati, Thomas and Neil. Neil and Colin are only 2 weeks apart! I think Colin had a bit of hair envy cause Neil has a great head of hair!
Once Jonny got home from his conference, we had a few days before we got back on a plane and went to Wisconsin for Jonny's next interview. Dylan was funny because on one of the trips, he insisted on sitting in the single seat by himself. He was drawing and telling us about everythiing he saw out the window and then, all of a sudden, it got really quiet. We looked over and there he was...fast asleep! I have to say, Milwaukee was really nice...it reminded me of Pittsburgh with all the big yards and trees.
Medical College of Wisconsin just happened to have a special employees night at the zoo so we got to tour the Milwaukee Zoo for free and without the crowds. I also got to meet up with some more "imaginary friends" in Chicago on a day trip we took. (Will post those pics later)
OK, more entries to come soon!

Our trip to Kentucky
Unfortunately, the trip started out on a sour note (so I put Colin's cute pic here to make me more happy as I type). Our flight was canceled due to bad weather. We waited two hours for another flight. The we waited 45 minutes on the plane on our second leg to make sure we had enough gas.
We were supposed to get in at 6pm and did not get in until midnight. As if that was not bad enough, they lost our luggage. Nothing more fun than going out at midnight in a city you do not know to look for diapers and other assorted sundries for the kids. At least we got our bags the next day so it could have been worse. The next day Jonny went on day 1 of his interview.
I went and met one of my "imaginary friends" (a friend from a pregnancy bulletin board I joined) and her son then off to dinner with Jonny's potential future boss. Friday morning Jonny had more interviews while Dylan, Colin and I went out to breakfast, went to the park, toured the city a bit and played at the play area in the mall.
Friday afternoon and Saturday morning we went house hunting. Then, since Lexington is the horse capital of the world, we went to the Kentucky Horse Park where Dylan rode a pony because, in his words, "I do not think I am big enough to ride a big horse. They are REALLY big. I will just ride a pony." But the good news is that they made Jonny an offer but he has to negotiate some of the details. So we will see what happens with Wisconsin and VCU and hopefully by the end of August we should know where we will be living next year!

Fathers Day
I couldn't resist not posting about Father's Day. We had a good time. Jonny enjoyed opening his presents from the boys and he got to relax on the hammock.
I think the best part of the day, however, was when he got out the slip n slide for the first time. This thing has changed since we were kids. There is now a blow up area on the end to keep you from continuing to slide right off the thing and into the scratchy grass thus preventing many cuts and scrapes. Kids these days are such wimps! Anyhow, Jonny was helping Dylan slide down and I casually mentioned maybe he should slide down with Colin. The next thing I knew, Colin was sliding on the slip n slide on his own! UGH! I got pretty peeved until Colin got to the end with this huge smile on his face. I think we have found out who the daredevil of the family will be!

Today we are going to Kentucky for Jonny's second iterview with the University of Kentucky. After Jonny's first interview, Dylan was very excited about KY and said "I want to live in Kentucky" with no prompting from us about a possible move or anything. A few weeks ago, Dylan and I were talking and he said "Mommy, I want to go live in Kentucky and take our house there." I explained to him that if we moved to KY, we would move to another house and that someone else would live in this house. He did not seem to like that but that is all that was said about it. Two day ago, we were talking about the trip and Dylan got really upset and said he did not want to go to Kentucky. When we asked why he said "Because I do not want people coming to take our house." So we had to explain to him that this was just a short trip and our house would still be there when we got back. Makes me a bit scared for if/when we do move though!
Well, I figured it was about time to start up a blog...it seems to be the "in" thing to do nowadays. My first entry will be about our trip to Holland. We had a great time. The first week we were in Rotterdam and while Jonny went to his meeting, Dylan, Colin and I went touring around the city, to the zoo and made friends with Sophie, the lady at the club lounge. She and Dylan became good friends and she basically treated him like a king. Jonny took an afternoon off and we went to the port and took a boat ride. The second week we went to a Center Parc with Penny, Raoul, Alex and Lucas. We shared a little cottage and went to the huge pools, the Jungle Dome, on bike rides and to an amusement park called the Efteling. We had a great time. We went through the two weeks nearly incident-free. Dylan decided to stick something in his ear but luckily Jonny was able to get it out by flushing it with water. Also, in the Jungle Dome, Dylan got kicked in the eye but the only mark that incident left was that about 1/4 of his eyelashes were ripped out. It looked very strange but they are starting to grow back.
