Sold!!!

We've sold our house! Everything will be finalized by Friday once the financing is in place. This past week was kind of a whirlwind. We met with 2 realtors at the beginning of the week, chose the one we wanted to go with and then did up the paperwork on Saturday with plans to put it on the market Monday morning (yesterday). Late Saturday afternoon I got a call from our realtor who asked if 2 people could see the house that evening. So after a mad dash to get the house cleaned up after a normal day in our house we went out for supper. The next morning we were presented with an offer which we declined, the same buyer came back with another offer which we accepted. In a round about way, through a reduction in commissions, we got the price we wanted. It is SOOO nice to not have to worry about keeping the house tidy enough to show at anytime and not packing the babies up and going out in the cold over and over. We know that we were really lucky with how things happened so quickly and are really happy about it.

Our new house is coming along pretty good. The upstairs will be painted this week, then we'll have to wait on flooring and cabinets. It should be done in about a month and a half. The downstairs is a bit behind and will probably be about 2 and a half months until it's done. The possession date for our buyers is April 30th so that should give us plenty of time.

Now onto the really important people. It has become a morning ritual that the babies "help" daddy put his socks on. As soon as he comes out of the bedroom first thing in the morning, if they aren't already having breakfast, they run over to the couch where he sits down to put his socks on. Soon after they caught onto this happening everyday they started to steal the socks and run around the house with them wanting us to chase them. So now Daniel usually brings out a pair for himself as well as 3 extra pairs. They strut around so proudly when they have their socks on.


The socks look like leg warmers on Maggie.
