News

Most of you already know that we finally got an offer on our home!  It was on the market for 6 months, our realtor told me that our house showed better than the majority of the homes she showed (not necessarily showed more, but had better feedback), but somehow the people who are buying our home have never been to see it in person, only in pictures.  They're pretty brave, but I think they'll be happy with their choice, our house is awesome :)

So they offered $9k less than our asking price, but we countered BACK to our asking price since our basement has been finished since we listed it, and we included in our counter offer that we needed to be able to stay in the house until spring.  And they accepted!  Pretty perfect.  So we'll get to enjoy the carpet that we just had put in the basement at least for a few months.  And now if you come to stay with us you won't have to walk on concrete.




In other news...

Jade likes to draw pictures on my phone and save them.  Most impressive about this picture is the fact that I didn't tell her the order of a rainbow's colors!
 I went through my boxes of Calder and Everest's clothes and this is how many clothes I have from 0-6 months alone, so in case you were considering buying us clothes for the new baby I'm pretty sure he doesn't need them.
 I'm so happy that Aaron's landscaping season is winding down.  I know he'll be bored out of his mind staying home all day but we definitely love having him here.  And he's still coaching so he won't be THAT bored.
 I know they say TV rots your brain but seriously there isn't much that makes me happier than seeing this sight.
 And to prove that I let my kids watch too much TV, Calder saw the hand prints in the construction dust on our screen, and his response was "A clue! A clue!".  Who knows what that's from? Then Everest and Jade heard him and came running and they all said it.
 This is really blurry but I still love it.
 We were leaving for what may be one of our last dates for a while. And I guess I should have cropped Aaron's hand out of the picture :) oops
 This is my 35 week belly.
Now only 4 weeks (or hopefully less) to go.

And even though the last of the Twilight movies is coming out in 3 days, I'm already looking forward to this one...

Congrats. We got an offer on our home yesterday too but we are closing in December. It is amazing that they are going to pay more and let you stay until spring! I hope you have an easy winter this year.

I LOVE the basement too! Can't wait to come visit! And though I will MISS that house, I am so happy that all things seem to working out perfectly for you guys! I'm sure that your next home will be equally awesome!

And I cannot get over how absolutely gorgeous my grandchildren are!
