Yay! Summer is here! We were officially out of school on Saturday and we ended the week with the awards assembly for our last of school. Kelsie received an award for being in Rucker Honor Choir, one for her whole class for participation in field day (her class came in 2nd place for 4th grade) and an award for A/B honor roll all year (maintaining all A's and B's for the whole year). We were very proud of her this year - it was a transition from private to public school but she did so well adjusting to new school and friends.
The house is coming along so quickly and we are now scheduled to close July 6th. We are super excited and starting to count down the days. This week they have installed all the outside lighting (except for the one that broke), some of the inside lighting, the cabinet for the powder bath, completed the stone around the fireplace, poured the patio extension, installed the A/C units and thermostats, put in all the light switches and outlets, installed the garage door openers and keypads, put in the sprinkler system, did the first grade of the yard, and finished up all the tile. We met with the landscaper on Friday and got the plan yesterday so we were very excited about the plants and trees we chose - lots of perennials and color like knockout roses, crepe myrtles, dwarf hawthorns, blue salvia, red salvia, texas sage, daylilys, loropetalum, boxwoods, dwarf yaupons, giant liriope, soft leaf yucca, chinese pistachio and maple trees. Very excited to see how it all comes together. Here are some pics of the progress but it's slower now so there aren't a ton of updates. They still have lots of painting and tweaking to do but I know their goal is for most of it to be done by June 13th for inspections to be done by the 20th. I will keep you updated!
