Happy 1 Year, Clara!

A couple of weeks ago, Clara turned 1! I can't believe how fast the year has flown by. I don' think I will be able to write a really long post about the occasion for another couple of weeks. We have had a bit of a chaotic month and will have another few weeks of it.

Last month, the owners of the house that we are renting informed us that they were going to be coming back to San Antonio earlier than they anticipated. They offered to let us stay at this house until December, but since we are most likely only going to be in SA for another year, our options were either to move into another house now (since most houses want a year lease) or stay here until December and rent an apartment for six months. We decided to move now. So after we knew that we had to move, I quickly started looking at houses. It was the worst possible timing because Brad was working nights and so couldn't really go see anyplace with me. Luckily, we found a decent house in our present neighborhood. We like the neighborhood a lot and we won't have to alter our routines at all. Clara can also keep the neighborhood pool that she loves so much.

Anyway, we move next week. We've been busy doing all of the annoying things that you have to do when you move. And during all of this, we celebrated Clara's birthday! Brad's parents and grandparents came down and we had a party with family and friends on the 4th of July.

So...I most likely won't do a longer post until a couple of weeks from now. Just know that Clara is doing splendidly. She is all over the place, destroys our house daily, and is discovering new, exciting things all of the time. She also talks nonstop, complete with hand gestures. I can't wait until I can understand what she is talking about.
