Big News: Vaclavs on the Move!!

The rumor is true. Michael and I are buying a condo; we're scheduled to close next week! Are you wondering, "Wait a minute! When did this happen? This came out of now where!" Yeah our thoughts exactly! A couple of weeks ago we started looking on the East side for a fixer-upper and praying that God would lead us to just the right house, just where we need to be. As it turns out, that place is not on the East side. It is much closer to where our hearts are: two blocks from the coffee shop!

Crazy right! We did not even consider buying in Clarksville. But thankfully J had his eye out and came across a 3/2 condo literally two blocks north of the coffee shop. We were skeptical but looked into it anyway because it was "sort of" in our price range. That was like a week and a half ago. I can't describe how quickly and smoothly and peacefully all this has gone down except to say that God did not just open the door--he threw it wide open and shooed us in.

Check this out to get an idea of just how ROCKIN' this location is:



In WALKING DISTANCE from our house there is: a grocery store, pharmacy, J's house, the coffee shop, elementary school, 3 parks, 3 pools and a multitude of babysitters!! Here are some preliminary pics:

View from Front Door: On the left is the kitchen, then the bath then the guest room. On the right is the laundry then the master bedroom w/ bath.


In the coming weeks we (Michael) will do some remodeling and we hope to be moved in by mid Sept. We plan to replace all the flooring and completely re-do the kitchen and of course repaint. All those white walls just won't do!

We can't wait for you to come stay in our guest room!

Newest X-Game Competition:

Xtreme Sleeping

That's right folks. The youngest competitor ever, right here in Austin TX. Scottie Sachs might have met his match!!

New Friend coming from the other side of the world

Yesterday our friends Keith and Sarah finally became the parents of their little girl May. They adopted her from China where she has been in an orphanage. May was abandoned in a shopping mall when she was one day old. She is healthy and beautiful and we can't wait to have a play date!!

At Chateau Vaclav

Dinner time...


Austin's new chair...


Yes, she actually was sleeping like that...

4th of July

Cameron and Uncle J hosted a killer Independence Day party--complete with juicy steaks, severall rounds of Phase 10, swimming, napping and fireworks. Good times. Elia found the fireworks disappointingly "Scary"
