time is a fly i would like to squash

i can't believe how fast the last two months have gone. i don't have enough time in the day to do all the things that i need to do. zuri is beautiful. i love this little girl so much. i am busy feeding her (i feel like it is hourly) and watching her smile. the evenings are rough--this is the time zuri decides to fuss.

we have been busy finding a house and have found a great deal with a great deal of fixing up. here are photos from the appraiser. i have spent the last couple weeks getting excited and dreaming up what we are going to do to make this house amazing. the house has been rented out for the past few years and as you an see they are not clean. also--check out the original coal fireplace that they have repurposed and using as the furnace right now. we will be removing it and putting a new furnace in, but it is so cool. need to get some good pics before it is gone. our only indoor staircase is a spiral staircase--we will be replacing this one with a nice modern spiral staircase (hopefully).

still missing our des moines lives. missing des moines friends, our house, running trails, art festival...

nick is enjoying his residency. we have met some great people who are interns with nick and their spouses/significant others. i think we have some future friends in the making, but most of them are busy with their doctor schedules (most of the interns have doctor wives).

finally-- YES. i'm so happy to see that little zurash. that smile picture is about the cutest thing ever. four days until we're in utah and can be reunited again! i'm so so excited to see you, nick, and the babe. also, so excited about the house-- you guys are good at remodeling and i'm sure you will make it awesome. that staircase looks like it has some awesome possibilities. can't wait to tour it with you. emmy says 'hi, love you miss you'.

I LOVE your new house. Tons of good stuff to do. Zuri is looking so much bigger and she is so beautiful. Don't worry about the time -it will get better - just enjoy the time you have now because it goes so fast.
