Big Deal!

We have an exciting new addition to our front yard (besides the tomato worm that obliterated our bountiful harvest).

I'm talking about this much-anticipated sight...
In the three months we had the house on the market, we only had ONE offer. But I guess you only need one.

We passed inspection and appraisal (phew), so it looks like we're all set for moving out on Saturday and closing on Monday. The timing is a little crazy with a new baby, but we are so excited and thankful. We really weren't sure how this was going to work out, but everything seems to be coming together.

Now we can start to really look forward to our new townhome. They've already started framing, and construction is scheduled to finish in December (good Christmas present). So what are we going to do until then?

"Um...mom...dad..."

That's right. We're moving back in with my parents for a couple months. I'm pretty excited. I think it sounds like fun. And they seem to be OK with it too. Maybe Poppy helped sweeten the deal.

Here's our new little family of three in front of our new little lot two days after Poppy was born. Happy day. Can't wait until it's "home" for real.

So I should probably say congrats on selling and how fun it is that you get to build and decorate a new place... but what I'm really thinking is... the last pic was TWO days after giving birth? You look rather amazing! :)
