New House and Toe Biting

We finally have a house!!! Caden and I went to Longview last week to close after a long process of negotiations and bumps in the road. We are so glad to be finished and just super excited about getting in there and getting started! Now...for those of you not familiar with our situation, we won't actually be living there till next August when Adam finishes school. Our plan is to do a little work up front and then rent it out till we're ready to start moving our stuff. Here are a couple videos of the back yard, which is really what sold us on this house!

























This was another huge selling point. I LOVE all the windows.



We'll be auctioning off these curtains to the highest bidder. We'll start the bidding at...say....$100. Do I hear $100? You know you want them!

We got to stay with Uncle Ty and Aunt Nell, and it was so much fun! Caden got his toes in his mouth for the first time and has been practicing to get even better at it ever since!

A house!!! How exciting!! I know that you will love the extra room. Now, you will have room for visiting cousins?? It looks so nice! And, how flexible is Caden?

Congrats to y'all! I hope you find great renters. Did it feel weird coming back to the apartment after signing papers on the house?

Wow! I'm am so impressed with your house! It is beautiful and looks like it will be the perfect place for y'all. The huge backyard area fits you and Adam perfectly. I can just see you having lots of boys and them all playing in that pond and getting all gross! Ha! I can't wait to go see it in person sometime... Congrats!!
