And don’t feel sorry for Spencer even though he was the only one getting squirted. He loved it!
Movin’ on over!
We kind of had an exciting couple of days around here. In the 36 hours that passed between Wednesday night and Friday at noon, we bought a house! Yep, we bought a house. No, we weren’t really looking. Yes, we do love our current house. But this new one just had some things we simply couldn’t pass up. Robert saw it on the MLS on Wednesday night and we thought it looked interesting (we’re always checking out local real estate – kind of a hobby to stay informed). I emailed the agent to see if I could see it and was inside the house at 9:00 Thursday morning. I called Robert and told him he needed to get over to see it too so we met the agent back over there at 11:30. There was another offer on the table that they needed to respond to asap, so we had to move fast if we wanted it. By 9:00 Thursday night, we made an offer and after one round of negotiation, the deal was done by noon on Friday and the house is ours (pending inspection, of course!)
We did not see this coming but here’s what the house provides – SPACE! 4 bedrooms, two offices, a playroom and a garage with attached mudroom. It’s almost brand new – completely rebuilt in 2012 so everything is updated. It’s 100% move in ready on the inside. The biggest draw to it is that it’s on a cul-de-sac with tons of families. It turns out that I even know the girl living next door! She went to college with me and has 3 kids so she gave me the full scoop on the street and it’s sounds like a GREAT place to ride bikes, play basketball and just be a kid. Hooray!
Needless to say, we are SUPER excited about it…
The one downside to the house is the yard…and that is the one thing I’m going to miss about our current house (well, the yard and the location). We have a fantastic backyard here with so much room to run…but the flip side is that we live on a busy street so have no place for the kids to ride bikes, etc. The new house has great space to ride bikes, but does not have a great backyard…yet! I have no doubt that Robert and I will get it fixed up and looking great!
Overall we really feel like we hit a hole in one! 🙂
(ps – check out the tongue! ha!)
Our summer just got a whole lot busier!
Flashback Friday
I’ve shown you some old baby photos before and how my brother looked like Maxwell. I’ve also shown you my favorite picture of baby Robert and how much I think it looked like Maxwell, especially his hair. Finally, here’s just a few more baby pictures of us. Well, got a couple more for you today…
This is a baby Ronnie and Robert… (thanks Jenny!)
Ronnie’s on the left and totally looks like Maxwell, I think! Robert is on the right in all his squeezable, chubby glory just like Spencey!
And here’s another one of my brother, Keath, as a baby…
the blonde hair, the blue eyes, the chub…Spencer all the way.
Whoever my boys do or don’t look like, one thing is for sure….
they are ridiculously cute just the way they are!
Happy weekend!
Pool
So, I didn’t get my big camera out yesterday…but we did go to the pool! So, today you get my sad little iPhone pics from our 45 minute pool adventure.
It was pretty overcast which made it chilly when you weren’t underwater. After almost shivering to death, Maxwell said he was ready to go home! Still glad we went for a little bit though.
See you tomorrow!

There’s some real gems in there! 🙂 I really need to get my big camera back out… Maybe tomorrow! See you then!
