Our First House

It is official. Today we closed on our first house! We are so thrilled to finally be home-owners after 10 years of renting. About 6 months ago, Mike's work told him that he could work remotely. At that point we started thinking that maybe we would try to buy a house in a year or so. But then when it was time to re-sign our rental contract- they decided to raise the rent to $2500. That definitely sped up our decision to buy. We found this beautiful home in Syracuse, Utah that we fell in love with. I am so excited to start decorating and buying some furniture (our old couch is staying here along with some other choice objects). We have a little more than 3 weeks and then we'll be there. Crazy!!!

18 month pictures....... 3 months late

I finally took Austin in to get his 18 month pictures. Too bad he is already 21 months old. I did almost get around to it in May. But then we had our trip to Arizona and then after he got 4 ear infections in 2 months, he had tubes put in his ears. Then our trip to Utah came and went and since then we've been busy having fun with friends during the summer. And then just when I remembered that I still needed to take him in, he fell down on the coffee table corner and had a big bruise on his cheek for the past two weeks. So finally he is getting his pictures done. Hooray!! It feels good to check that one off the list. Atleast until 3 more months when he turns 2. Maybe these can count for both!!
