Still settling...

We intentionally gave ourselves a few weeks to get the old house cleaned and fixed up before putting it on the market. Thank goodness, because the process took much longer than we thought. Other houses were going up for sale in our neighborhood at the same time, so we frantically worked to get our house in showing-shape so we could have it on the market either before or on the same day. Once this sign was in our yard, we even got emails from prospective buyers trying to figure out a deal BEFORE the house was on the market. With so much interest in our house, and after seeing what the other houses listed for, we decided to ask a bit more than we had planned. Our realtor wasn't too sure, but went along with it.

Feeling emotional about Valerie being my last baby. While I'm excited for the future, I'm going to miss this sweet stage so much.

Now Cole figured out how to edit pictures...

We took the kids to Grandmom and PopPop's house and left them there for a day so George and I could go check out Greenfront and see if we could find any furniture we liked. We managed to find a coffee table, a buffet, an area rug for the front room, furniture for the master bedroom, and even ran by Pottery Barn to check out their couches before ordering a couple online. Our house is finally coming together!

Cole started doing vision therapy since the Occupational therapist suggested he has trouble tracking. He meets with a wonderful lady once a week to access and learn new exercises for his eyes, which we then do at home. It's been very neat, but also tricky to be consistent. Cole seems to respond well to her, though, and every week insists on drawing a ship on her blackboard.

We ordered some patio furniture and it came in a few huge boxes. The kids thought this was the best thing ever and wasted no time in turning them into a fort of sorts.

I spent a couple long nights over at the old house scrubbing the walls before the showing. We had someone come clean, but they didn't do the best job. In the end, the walls came out pretty well and I was pleased with the way the house looked.

More Pusheen pictures. This kiddo combined two of his loves: Pusheen and battle ships!
