Clear Inspection & International Women's Day!

Another week of house progress and spring fever!

Monday - Radon test was picked up and later in the day we heard the buyer will be asking for no repairs/concessions etc as a result of the inspection and Radon was clear!  Yay!  Now we simply wait for the appraisal on Cedar Lake this coming Wednesday and after all is set there both homes are considered SOLD. . . please continue the good thoughts/prayers through this remaining step in the process!
Back to School
Playing with "Food" & Making Airplanes

Tues/Wed - Fairly typical work / school days.
Morning Fun at School

Thurs - Happy International Women's Day!  Even in 2018 women continue to be paid less than their male counterparts and I have a situation at work where we recently named a new leadership team in North America with predominately female leaders.  They are highly talented women and we are a 60% global female population but it drops dramatically at the leadership levels.  While many celebrate this team we have heard a few comments like "haven't we swung the diversity effort too far to one side" or "what will our rising male talent see for opportunity when they look up and don't see others like them"  Seriously?!  How about you ask that last question to these amazing female leaders who looked up in the organization at that early point in their career and saw no one who looked like them.  I support parity for all no matter gender, race, sexual orientation etc and this week helped to highlight that belief that much more!  I was also beaming with pride today (more than ever) watching our strong willed, leadership inclined Maci girl operate within her pre-school room!

In addition to that excitement - Maci had a 6 month dental check up and NO CAVITIES!!!  What wonderful news after the million dollar mouth about 6 months ago HA

Friday - Busy calendar day but broken up in the middle of the day with a fun lunch to finally send off our former Finance HR leader to another part of the organization.  She loved back in December to the new team but with so much going on we finally got around to all getting together.  Always good laughs with that crew!  We had a lazy evening at home which is just what was needed after a full week.

Saturday - We skipped dance this one Saturday for Evelyn and Lilian's 5th birthday party instead.  We love catching up with the Verplank family - former neighbors in St Louis Park who will now only live about 5 mins from the soon to be new house!  Sara outdid herself with the cutie underwater theme party and the kids loved making their pretend aquariums.  So not in my wheel house!  We did the usual drive by the Foxtail house before packing up our living room decor.  This then turned into college basketball evening and early bed with the loss of an hour at night.

And the Outtake which Looks Like She had Too Much Fun in College ;) HA

Sunday - Connor was off with the time change this morning.  Clint and Maci headed to church and Sunday school while I helped little man to get adjusted.  We have been having a productive day around the house with Maci currently playing a game, Connor taking his nap and Clint out getting a hair cut.  We intend to have a chill day at home followed by NCAA bracket completion this evening.
Seriously Guys - We Have a Big Girl on Our Hands!
This Girl is Going to RUN into Kindergarten Come the Fall 💙💛

Thankfully everyone is around again this week and we hope to have another major milestone complete in the house process.  Ideally we will know final closing date/move plans later this week.  We are excited to share specifics on the new address once all is finalized.

Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
