Time to Move!

Wednesday evening Brendan and I were about to start our walk with Lilly when our next door neighbor told us that he was waiting on the police to arrive because their house had been broken into while they were at work. I was gone from about 9:30-1:30 that day running errands and taking Lilly to My Gym so I apparently wasn't home when it happened. After the police finished at their house they came over to our house to make sure we didn't see anything and to tell us how to prevent becoming a target. He also told us that there have been 30 break ins in the surrounding area in the past week and a half! We were completely shocked! That was the first we had heard about it. You would think it would have made the news at least. We are researching our options for home security. We have already talked about moving within the next year, so maybe we will make that move sooner rather than later. I know break-ins happen everywhere, but the large number shocked us. The police also said that they "almost caught them" the day before our neighbors break in. I don't understand how someone can do something like that over and over. One of the main targets are flat screen TVs and fortunatly we decided not to get one until we move since our old TV works fine. Hopefully they will catch them soon and it will at least give me a little peace of mind.

Last night we went to the 75th anniversary celebration for Forest Acres. We had a nice time and Lilly really enjoyed herself. She waved to everyone and was so excited the whole night. Lilly is also getting better at standing by herself, but she still can't do it very long. She does great drinking water out of a sippy cup by herself and she can cruise around everywhere. Instead of only crawling around one room she will go wherever she pleases so I really have to keep an eye on her. We go for her 9 month check up next Thursday so I am curious to see how she is doing.
