Growing, Growing, Growing!

Well, there has been no interest in our house since we listed in June...which is a huge bummer because we can't lower our price any farther or we'll be paying out of our own pocket. We have no illusions about making a profit but we want to at least be able to pay what we owe the bank and the realtor's 6% plus I'm sure we'll be asked to cover closing costs. But we have an open house next weekend so hopefully we get some kind of positive response. We've been looking at lot's of house in Clarkston and Oxford (love the neighborhoods and GREAT school districts, plus it's a short drive for Allen to work) and we really wanted to be in a new place by Christmas. It looks like we may end up having to short sale, we certainly don't want to foreclose. I've been looking for jobs to make our move to either of those cities more affordable for us. I just want something part-time because I can't imagine having our kids in daycare 5 days a week. Thankfully there are jobs available in my field. So we'll see what happens.

On the bright side, the boys are growing by leaps and bounds. We took Connor for his 2 month well check yesterday, yes that's right, he's 2 months old already! He weighs 10lbs 13oz and is 22 1/2 inches long. He didn't care much for all the shots but he's doing much better today:) He is smiling a lot and starting to giggle a little and loves to baby talk to the chandelier above our dining room table! And he still has all that dark hair on his head!

Austin achieved another goal this past week. He now puts himself to sleep at night! Whooopeeee! Mommy and Daddy are loving it and we are so proud of Austin.

Austin loves looking through our photo albums and today I took out our wedding album and as soon as I opened it and Austin saw a picture of me he said "My girlfriend!" and then he turned around and kissed me and told me he loved me:) It was so sweet I almost cried. When we got to the pictures of the reception he turned to me all excited and said "ooooooh, that's a party Mommy!" Afterwards Austin wanted to go down to his play kitchen, make a wedding cake and pretend we were getting married!
