We have a potential buyer for our home! After seeing many homes this family wants to buy ours -- they just need to finalize the financing with their bank. Hope all goes well!
We are so happy in our new home! I've always dreamed of a neighborhood with lots of kids for our boys to play with and a feeling of safety where we are comfortable letting them go. We've definitely found it! On Sunday there were about 12 neighborhood kids engaged in a water balloon battle with our backyard as one of their bases -- they take it seriously! Adam had the wagon out and was pulling a friend and a giant pail of balloons down the street ready for war. There were kids everywhere and lots of smiles and laughter! At one point they were all in our basement making a movie together and I was loving it! There's nothing like the sound of kid's laughter to make me happy. The families on our quiet cul-de-sac are wonderful and there is such a sense of community with everyone looking out for each other's children.
Adam starts band this fall and tried out some instruments today at our local music store. He tried the trumpet, trombone and baritone. His face lit up when he was handed the baritone and I knew instantly that was his choice. He tooted on it for awhile and could barely stop smiling. He's excited to get started! I fell in love with a ukulele I saw there -- it was so much fun to play. If I get one I plan to learn to play "Mele Kalikimaka" for our Christmas sing-a-long!
Love to everyone!

That is great news and I hope it all goes off smoothly and swiftly so you can move on 100% to your new home with all of your belongings and no worries about owning two houses. I am so happy for the boys that you live in such a nice neighborhood with lots of good friends. It does have a nice protective atmosphere and that means a lot.
ReplyDeleteJoy - it sounds like everything you expected and more! What a sight it must have been to see the boys with the wagon! So glad that life is good for you!
