What we've been up to

Well, we have been busy, busy, busy. We have been working hard to get our house on the market. Planting flowers, spreading mulch, cleaning, etc. Not so easy to do with a 2 year old around. We managed to get everything done, (thanks Michael for helping with the 10 yards of mulch). The sign went up last Sunday and we have had 3 showings and one offer. We didn't take the offer because it was too low. They countered again but still too low. We have 2 other interests in it as well. We are going to hold out until we get the price we want. We don't have to move so if it doesn't sell for what we want we will just stay here. We are just trying to take advantage of the low interest rates to buy a bigger house. We are fortunate that we live in a great neighborhood and houses sell very well here. If it is meant to be we will get the right offer and find the perfect home to move to. We have two possibilities to purchase right now. We'll see what happens. It stinks trying to keep the house show ready with 2 dogs and a 2 year old. Hopefully it won't take too long.

Here are some random pictures. I haven't been taking too many lately. I am going to try and do better.

The mulch pile. Much more impressive in person.

Michael's banana split birthday cake. Olivia stole about six cherries off the top when she thought no one was looking.

Olivia loves to read books. She remembers everything you read to her and she can recite the story back to you word for word. She amazes me with how smart she is.

She is growing up so fast. I enjoy her so much. I can't believe how much I love this little girl. I am so blessed beyond my wildest dreams.
