The House

Whew – so much has happened since I last blogged! Where to start?!? Well, since the house is such a big deal – I’ll start there. I’ll do a house update and then hopefully soon I’ll do a Will update. This past Friday we got moved into the new house! yay! It finally happened. We were clearly a little too ambitious to think we could move 2 days after the end of tax season. It didn’t happen. Plus, we needed to get some painting and other minor projects done before we moved in. So, Friday – we moved.

Here is a picture of our family on closing day – April 9th! It was our’s! What an exciting day! We feel so incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful home for Will. It means the world to us to have some space and such a great place in a great school zone for him to grow up. We hope you love growing up here, Will!2010-04-09 001 2010-04-09 016Dylan brought Will a house warming present. It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. Dylan was so proud to bring this for Will.
