Sam: Year One

This is just a little compilation video of Sam, it's not in chronological order by any means, but it does show some of his milestones. Sorry we have been so bad at blogging, can it take two months to settle in??? More to come.

Private:(

We really don't like private blogs! They don't come up on our feed that shows when someone has posted something new. We dislike having to take the time to click through each private blog just to see if someone has taken the time to post something new, and if they're anything like us, they haven't. We are starting to get some weird comments that aren't comments at all, they are some kind of spam solicitation. Ah, we remember the good old days when we didn't even have to lock our blog . . . For those of you out there in cyberspace that want to keep up with our semi-ordinary lives, please include your email in a post and we'll add you to our approved viewers list. We've got much to update you all on, I think we'll wait until we are in lock down mode though.

Our First House

After almost nine years of marriage we are finally moving into our first house!!! Well, that's if the inspection and appraisal turn out like we hope. We close on the 31st of March and are so excited to finally have a place to settle down in and call our own. The house is about 2400 square feet and has a really big back yard with tons of trees and other plants. The boys will finally have their own patch of grass that is like a forest and is fenced in! It should provide some fun times for them.

The current owners love plants and gardening and are leaving behind a bunch of great stuff for us, including a riding lawn mower! The picture at the bottom of the post is a little play house for the kids. It's full of tools now but will make a great clubhouse for the boys, even though Richard says we "need to add more bricks to make it bigger." The house is in a great neighborhood that lets the boys attend some great schools. The house is about 10 minutes from Grandma and Grandpa Owens and about 20 minutes from work. We are in love already and look forward to making the house our own.
