Musical Leanings

I am struck at times by how much music the kids absorb from regular, everyday events. Bennett and Annalise both have a really good ear for singers' voices, and comment on similarities between singers. We always listen to music in the car, and most often lately we listen to Mom's music- usually Cities 97. Recently, Bennett commented on the song on the radio, saying that it was Jack Johnson singing. I said, "actually, it's John Mayer." B says, "John Mayer- he's funky!"

This has been a busy weekend, as was last weekend (and week). I've held off from mentioning anything in the blog, because somehow that would make it real, and might somehow jinx things (?/!), but I guess now's as good as anytime to let the cat out of the bag... We've been so busy the past few weekends, because we're preparing to put our house on the market on Tuesday. We found a property in the area that prompted us to move quickly on attempting to buy it- but first we need to sell. The sewer line was repaired last Monday, the update to the stairway to the basement is almost finished, the storage pod full of excess and items plucked from the rooms in the name of decluttering has been moved from the yard, and the sod guys are coming tomorrow to spiff up following sewer repair lawn damage. I'll speak in more specifics soon, but right now I've got to get back to more packing/staging. Wish us luck, and I'll update you after Tuesday!
