Nothing spectacular--just an update

Claire is 3, and just watched Cinderella for the first time the other day. She was almost in tears, hand over her mouth in shock that Cinderella's family was so mean to her. But, she loved it and would tell anyone the whole story if asked. Stephanie asked her the other day if she was going to give me hugs and kisses when my birthday rolled around, and Claire said "no, its a surprise. It's a lay down swing." Apparently, Austin told her that he was getting me a hammock and told her it was a surprise. Good job Claire. Maddox is still as crazy as ever (2 in September). His new thing is making a mess, and then saying "oh...my..........GOSH! Maddox did" as he looks at the mess, almost like he's surprised himself. He also loves telling Cody (our dog) that he's a bad dog, and has now begun telling Claire and I that we are bad dogs too if we do something he doesn't like. Austin and I just purchased new windows for the house, and they should be delivered and installed the beginning of September. We also just got a new patio door, but the installer for that is Austin, so it's unknown when that will be done, as I've heard that's quite a job....We also just got new living room furniture delivered a couple weeks ago, so our house is finally getting to where we want it. Next year, we'll finish the landscaping, and then I think we'll finally be done... for a while. :)
