Late Wednesday night Maya and I arrived in San Diego for the weekend of Kelly and Joe's baby shower. On Tuesday, the counters went in! The house is really coming together and we are less cautious about getting excited this time.
What could go wrong at this point? The floors and kitchen back splash are the only major things left. Of course, Sean and I are in San Diego and Rob is in Menard hunting. No one is there to supervise.
While I was at the airport waiting to board I got a call from the builder with questions about the flooring.

| Here, Maya is unpacking a bag full of randomness. Rob's idea for keeping her busy was genius! Except that next she began to unpack a stranger's purse! |
 |
| My mom was on our flight, from DC to Austin and on to San Diego together! We had fun together! |
 |
| Thank goodness Maya slept most of the flight! |
Thursday morning I got more calls about the electrical... we passed inspection! And so I needed to call Austin Energy to have permanent service reinstated.
 |
| Thursday night dinner. Dad's flight was delayed so he didn't get in until afterward. |
 |
| Daddy has taught Maya to stand in her stroller which transfers to this at Target while we bought things for the shower. |

Maya loves baby Jelly's nursery.

On Friday I responded to several texts about tile and grout, answering questions that we have answered several of times before, resending emails that the builder had neglected to pay attention to.
Hopefully we have provided all of the information enough times now that there won't be any major mistakes before we get back. This week, on the other side of the country, the house is so close yet we are so far away!
However, tomorrow at the celebration of the next grandbaby and here today with my close knit family it's wonderful to be so close to what's really important and to let the thoughts of the house drift far away.
