This past month has been somewhat of a blurrr... we've been super busy wrapping up the finishing touches that our realtor suggested and I'm so happy to say that we are now completely done! YAYYY!!! Our house listing was posted on the market yesterday afternoon and we already had a showing this morning!!! We were expecting some initial interest because of the improvements we've made and even if nothing comes from it, we were pleasantly surprised to have a showing this quickly.
So, here it is... (drum roll please)... Check it out! And if you happen to know of anyone looking for a house in CDA, please send them our way ;)
Today is also the first day that we've had in months where we don't have
anything to work on and the only plans we have are for dinner. It feels
weird and awesome... but weird... Time for some much needed relaxation! Even Maddie
is on board, because this morning she slept in until 9:00 - which is
completely unheard of for her... :)
In other news, we have a vacation coming up! Hooray! Talk about perfect timing, right? We'll be visiting my family in Oregon for a week... We are excited to visit my hometown, stay a few nights at the coast, go crabbing, visit with old friends and just relax. It'll be nice for Maddie to reconnect with her grandparents that she hasn't seen for several months. I know they'll be shocked to see in person just how much she has grown and how different she is in such a short amount of time.
Ryan is doing well, his summer softball league just ended - he had alot of fun with his team this year. He is super happy to be done fixing up the house and he swears he'll never buy this large of a fixer upper again, no matter how great of a deal it is... we've learned our lesson... lol. We're looking forward to just renting cheaply for a little while before jumping back into home-ownership. He decided against hunting year as with our vacation's timing and possibly moving soon, he may not be available much of the season. However, he is going on a weekend fishing trip with his dad and brothers soon which he is really looking forward to.
Madilyn is great! She can now sit up all by herself and is reallllllly trying to crawl... soon, very soon, it will happen. She has two teeth and is working on several more. She can pull herself up onto her knees when sitting in her crib and I'm sure one day I'll just walk into her room to see her standing up proudly in bed. Also, she recently got a jumperoo toy because her parents have no self control in the baby section of stores... She loves it so much, its pretty hilarious when she goes crazy in it. I have some funny videos but unfortunately my phone is stupid and I can't get them onto my computer :(
I'm doing good, too. Just enjoying life, while trying to keep the house spotless and ready to sell. Now that projects are done, I'll have some free time in between baby naps so I may get back into crafting or reading or I don't know --- maybe take a nap myself?!? Oh the possibilities... :)
I guess that's about all.... So here's the latest snapshots!
Cheeeeeezer!!!!
She never falls asleep like this... So sweet:
Hey mom, just kickin back in my jumper!
This sequence just cracks me up... her facial expressions are the best :)
