Under Contract!

We are officially under contract on our dream house. It is such a God thing. We have been praying for guidance over the summer as to 'our next step' and had been feeling like we were supposed to stay here in GC. We are in an apartment that isn't the greatest, but it works, and the lease is up soon. We were trying to figure out what to do and then my sister says that she has found the perfect house for us. Low and behold, she was right! This is our dream home. It has an amazing porch, beautiful wood floor and woodwork, tall ceiling, lots of bedrooms, finished attic space, unfinished basement, brick patio out back, corner lot, and big, mature trees! This is truly our dream home. It was also super cheap! We love good deals, and this is one. It was a repo that had been bank owned for two years. They just wanted to get rid of it. It needs loving - a paint job, minor updating, cleaning up the yard. It's a great home! We can't wait to close and get it and settle before the holidays. Enjoy the couple pictures of the house and the beautiful entry with the stairs and woodwork.

So we have been enjoying life with Mason, and getting used to being parents with our special little boy who is not so little anymore. It is so fun to watch his personality come out and see him experience life. Enjoy the pictures!

Here is Mason in his smiley face shirt that says it all.

Mason enjoying sitting in a car seat even when out of the car, and his friends Abigail.

I love the look on Mason's face and the finger pointing at me. He was talking to me like he was telling me what what going to happen next. I guess I point my finger at him when talking a bit more then I realized.

Sleeping boy.

Ready to go. Just need the keys.

Playing it up with Grandma. He has the same smile in stores and other places. Such a FLIRT!
