Never a Dull Moment

It has been a while since we have added to our blog, but not for lack of content! As is par for the course, I have lost the connector for the camera. So...... I have all these fun photos to post but no way to get them on the computer and haven't found the time nor mental energy to look. Seriously...I feel a bit out of control.

In the last three weeks we have been to the beach twice, the emergency room twice (once for Henry...cut to the head...once for Mark's dad who is now in the hospital with some heart problems - send your wishes for a speedy recovery), Henry went to the driving range for the first time and experienced heaven, we had our first pre-school picnic and met Henry's teachers (ACK!! it made it so real he is leaving the house and going to school), made an offer on a house, had it accepted, and we close on Friday. Yes..a bit busy...but great.

We are SO excited about the house.

From the moment we walked into this house, we loved it. It had all the right bones (four bedrooms upstairs and a guest room downstairs so we can officially have three kids and LOTS and LOTS of people can visit us!),amazing views of the coastal range, backs to a greenspace and has a big yard for the kiddos to play, is close to our favorite place to run and hike in Portland (Forest Park), only 4 miles from my parents (and here they thought they were getting rid of us!), 6 miles to downtown and 8 miles to my work. We feel so grown up (when did that happen?).

We can't wait to make it our home! Remember, all are welcome! We now have room! Attached are some pictures from their realtor's website. I will post ours as soon as I can find our camera connector in the pile of boxes.
