March 18th

Sorry, I just haven't gotten around to getting into the other room to upload new pictures. The last few days has been homework, kids, arranging lodging, car rentals, airline tickets, cell phone research, a little house hunting..... the list goes on. I know, I could post a picture in the time I waste posting blabber on Facebook. It's just I'm on FB with my coffee in the morning for the most part. The picture posting requires me to actually stand up and carry the lap top over the other room and click away a thousand times resizing and posting. What? You don't like that whiney story? Okay okay, I'll get new pictures up tonight, if I remember.

It seems 4 to 2 you suggest we buy a house with a pool. I think I'd like one too, but we'll see. I know it's going to be long hot summers and the convenience of the pool in the back yard would be nice for the kids. Packing them up at such a young age sounds exhausting to me. I'm not one to hang out at the local pool and chat to people. I'd too easily get distracted and take my eyes off one of the kids. I think being fully focused on them in my own pool would be safer for all of us.

The other is location of the house. Summerlin is established, best schools and most desired and resale would be easier. But...those houses cost more than going to North Las Vegas. That is where the more for your money comes in.

I guess we'll have to wait for three more weeks and see what unfolds. We'll be staying at the Aliante Casino and Hotel up north for our house hunting days. It's fairly new, I think it opened in 2008. Initially we planned on staying at Nellis AFB in TLF but that's in the wrong direction for house hunting because we're focused on the west/northwest side of Vegas. So to shorten our driving time etc, we got great prices at Aliante.

I hope all of you enjoyed your St Patrick's Day? I stayed home and did homework while Erik went out and drank Guinness. Who do you think had more fun?
