The happy homemaker


Anna has to get up pretty early these days to prepare pretend breakfast for the family. She doesn't even have time to take out her plastic rollers before she puts the bacon on to fry...
But, what better way to thank our little homemaker than with a...(insert Price is Right's Rod Roddy voice here) brand new house!!
Yep, we are now officially in the process of building a new home! We made an offer on building a new house on Saturday, and they countered today with a pretty reasonable counter offer, so we accepted! We likely won't break ground for another month or so, but we'll start almost immediately deciding on certain structural changes to the house and picking out options. We're so excited about being able to be a part of the whole process...
(As a side note: we obviously don't make Anna sleep in plastic rollers...she just found them in her playroom and thought they were fun...)

House hunter


We apologize for how delinquent we've been in posting to the blog over the last few months. We've been engrossed in the challenge of shopping for a new house. But, the good news is, Anna utilized her newly acquired climbing skills and helped herself onto our dining room table, flipped through the different floor plans, and selected her new castle. Mission accomplished! How can you be upset at discovering this precious angel sitting on your dining table when she's picking out a new home for you (and so darn cute!)??
(In all seriousness...we did finally put an offer on a house yesterday evening, so wish us luck!)

Happy Birthday Buck-o!


Happy Birthday Buck-o!!
Anna's attempt to say "Grandpa" results in something that sounds exactly like "Buck-o". But, she says it with such joy and exuberance that "BUCK-O!!" doesn't seem like such a bad nickname...
We hope you're having a great one, Grandpa, and sorry that we can't be there with you!

Pics from the Pumpkin Patch

Here's a picture of our pumpkin surrounded by other, less cute pumpkins.

Visit from Nana

We had another visit from Nana last weekend. Anna was happy to show off her toys (including the old-school Winnie the Pooh, shown here) to Nana. Everyone had a great time!

Nothing like Saturday mornings...

We're probably watching either Seasame Street or football.
