And We're Off... Walking, That Is!!!

Please forgive me for the lack of posts this month. We've been going through some really frustrating and difficult stuff with the buying process of our future house and have really had no time to do much other than pack, work and spend a little time with the Big Dude.

The exciting news is this: Last Friday Tegan began walking... as in more than just a few steps here and there. We are now, I think, officially walking more than crawling and he loves all the attention he gets from walking. HA! No pictures downloaded to our computer yet, but as soon as I get them I'll post them.

In other news, we are for sure getting the house! I won't go into details, but some history came up regarding the previous owner's financing and there was a chance we might not get the house anymore. Thankfully, though, the banks involved will deal with their "issues" amongst themselves and we'll still get the house. YAY!

In other news, Brendan and I spent ALL DAY yesterday as members of our dear friends' wedding party. Yes, Jen and Chris are finally Mr. & Mrs. and we couldn't be more excited for them and the life they now will live together. Congrats to the both of you!!!

Unfortunately I've got no pics for this post, sorry guys! Check back soon, though, cause I'll try to get some downloaded to the pc and uploaded to the blog after T goes down for the night.

Love to all!!!

Busy, Busy, Busy...

As you can probably tell by the lack of blog updates. As most of you know we are in the process of selling our house and buying a new one. We finally got some pics of the new place, so here they are. I'm SO excited to have a bigger kitchen, more counter AND cabinet space, a deep bathtub for soaking in, a bigger closet, more storage space, a 3rd stall in the garage, a yard... you get the idea. Just about everything that comes along with a single family home. YAY! (note that explanations of each room are above the photo). Also, main level is getting all new carpet and all rooms are going to be getting painted, so no colors will stay the same as they are...

In other news Tegan is getting SO close to walking. He still prefers crawling since he's so darn fast, but he walked over to me when I picked him up from daycare today (6-8+ steps) and then took several steps on his own w/o encouraging after we got home, too. To be honest I don't have that many new pics other than those from our Spring Break. I've got a few on my "fancy" camera (D-SLR) from last week, but haven't uploaded them yet. It's just been so nice that I want to enjoy the weather with Tegan rather than watch him enjoy the weather with Brendan. :) I'll upload those soon, though, cause I did get some cute pics of Brendan and T riding B's bike... (yes, it scared me like crazy seeing my husband steer his bike with one hand and hold my 26+ pound baby/child in his other arm.) Needless to say, Tegan really enjoyed the ride!

Love to all!
