Abbey: We got a deal!


Thanks to the sellers' realtor, they didn't even counter back, just took our offer, so we got a very nice deal! Big yay!! We couldn't believe it!

There it is. 3 Br 1 Ba (Yeah, 1 bath will take adjustment.) Eat in kitchen, not alot of cabinets but nice ones. Covered deck and right-sized yard. Not too big, but enough. (We're not grass people.) 2-car garage, which was the big plus, finished basement with plenty of storage down there as well. I'm ready to get it going....one more move, more settling, and getting used to a new place. Currently we're looking at closing middle August and moving toward the end.

The fun never ends! But can it be denied that this move was a God thing?!? Everything has just happened so fast and relatively smoothly... amazing. Sell a house, buy a house, find a quiet apartment in the meantime, jobs along the way. Really amazing. Don't get me wrong, God is good even when things are not pleasant for a time, but blessings like this are just so welcome!!

    Found your blog by accident---but after reading it I found I just couldn't stop. You sound like an amazing mom---from one mom of a special needs child to another---I love your upbeat attitude.

    congrats on your new house!

Multi-mothering

Last week, Jen , Mark, and Sophie came to town for Sophie's ear tube placement at SLCH . We met up after the procedure at the Galleria so Jen could snag some shoes for Sophie (not that she was able to get what she wanted, unfortunately, but the Robeez Sophie got were super cute!). The double stroller we have is very good, it maneuvers very smoothly and opens and folds up really easily. Since it's so easy to deal with, I thought I'd add another task or two to the situation... Most of you know that you can click on the pictures in any post and they'll open up bigger. But in case you can't see clearly enough... Is there a law against driving a double stroller with one hand while holding a newborn with the other while holding the bottle with my chin?? (No, but there should be a law against that double chin that is created with this position!)

BabyLegs Giveaway

That's right! A BabyLegs Giveaway!! BUT...this giveway has an extra dose of generosity required for the participants. Can you handle it? BabyLegs has been so great to us, and they have surprised me once again! It all started back when the superb Tricia and Little Miss G sent Braska a pair many moons ago. We'd seen them on a few of our little blog friends, and I thought they were adorable. And the idea of keeping Braska warm while being able to access her g-tube without having to undress her was very appealing. So when we received our surprise pair from our friends out East, we were just plain giddy! I quickly ordered several more pairs to go with her wardrobe. It didn't take anytime at all for BabyLegs to become my standard gift at baby showers, and I especially loved sending them to moms that I found who had fresh little new babies with DS. They're perfect for everyday with a long-sleeved onesie, they are great under a little dress, and they are so helpful with thera...
