On the Move

Well Folks. It's finally happened. The house has been on the market since January 2nd. 11 months later, with a 58k in price reduction, and a failed septic system we are under contract. The whole process has been so much fun (extreme sarcasm)! It's hard to pick what our favorite part has been. But I do know what the kids favorite part was. After our septic system failed inspection, the county came out to do a perc test. It's not every day a kid gets to see a big digger in their own backyard.
They had front row seats to the show.

Our realtor will attest to the fact that it's pretty darn creepy to look down in an 18ft. deep hole that is about the size of a coffin.
It's been a bumpy ride to get here. Hopefully everything else goes smoothly. The appraisal was today and we'll be moving over Thanksgiving weekend. So now we're busy packing. Things might continue to be fairly quiet around here for the next few weeks as we transition. After settlement, we will send out our new address to all our peeps.

Faces of Josh

Josh has lots of faces in his reportoir these days.


Here's the "Up-the-nose-blinded-by-the-flash" face.
Here's the "Can-you-believe-how-long-I-have-to-wait-for-my-food?" face.
Here's the "I'm-going-to-crush-you-into-little-bits" face.
And here's our new favorite, "The Scrunchy Face"...
Gotta love it!

My 3rd Birthday

Okay people, Mommy has seriously been slacking on the blog updates. Let me get you caught up on my birthday LAST MONTH!

This is me waking up on the day of my party.
Mommy got a little crazy with her role as family historian.
It's waaaay to early in the morning for a party hat. At least wait until I've had my first cup of coffee (I mean milk).
Now I'm perking up. Nothing like a few pancakes in the tummy to start the day off right.
On the menu for lunch were all my favorite things: tangy turkey meatballs, potato rolls, pierogies, peas and cheese.
Grammy helped me blow out the candles on my cupcake. I did much than last year.
Josh enjoyed his cupcake a little more than on his birthday. It's amazing what a difference two months makes.
When Josh wasn't trying to steal my presents, he was playing with the balloons.
Here's all my goodies. Thanks everybody!
Let's do this again soon!
