house updates

Looks like we have a house. It is the house we wanted but didn't think we could get up here. It is a old house with a lot of character and is built really well. It is a five bedroom two bath house with a full basement. The seller has accepted our offer and we are approved on the financing. All that is left now is determining and coming up with the closing costs. We are excited about moving in and celebrating christmas in the new house.

what a great sports weekend. The Sox win game one and are working on game two as we speak. BIG NEWS, Alabama beats hated Tennessee to stay undefeated. The Bears beat the Ravens, great sports weekend. We also just got back from Medieval Times and that was a lot of fun. A little pricey but worth it for a good evening. We went and looked at all the swords and horses. We also paid a little extra for my oldest son who is celebrating his sixth birthday, to be knighted. They called him out in front of everyone and he kneeled before the king and wore a red cloak as the king knighted him then posed with the king and his hand on the sword for a picture that they framed and gave us. We then went in and watched the show, with sword fights and jousting and amazing horsemanship. We also were served a 4 course meal that you have to eat with your hands. It was an amazing two hour show. We decided that all of the boys cousins would have a great time and need to come up here sometime and go to the show. We will also have a pizza party at pizza hut in our town on saturday night for all of his friends

We are still looking for houses and my tenant in Alabama is serious about buying our house which would be a big financial blessing for us. Also, my wife has been doing very well this week and shown no signs of bad symptoms so we are hoping and praying that the blood clot has dissipated. We see the doctor Tuesday for another ultrasound.

Enough for tonight.

good weekend

house

This house thing is driving us crazy. We got our pre-approval and had a pretty good offer on a house but got beat out by a cash offer. Oh well, the house we are meant to have had better be a good one after losing out on three. Also, our renter in our house in Alabama has offered to buy our house from us. Not sure if we are ready to sell yet, but on the other hand, the cash would be nice and i wouldn't have to worry about the monthly rent being on time and making all the small repairs. Oh well, interested to see what happens.

I'm Back

Sorry for the long delay, life has been taking us the full 12 rounds. My wife is still on bed rest, going on one month. The subchoreonic Hematoma is about 1.5 cm which isn't small but isn't large either. The doctors aren't too concerned but there is an element of worry that the hematoma could enlargen which would endanger the baby.

We are still looking for a house and have jumped through hoops to get preapproval for a mortgage and are now waiting to hear back regarding the offer we submitted to a seller. We are asking them to pay the downpayment which limits our negotiating room.

My oldest son is doing much better with his spina bifida related issues at school. With the aid of a daily suppository, he has gone one full week now without any accidents at school. He even wore underwear instead of a pull up one day last week without us knowing it.

The big news for the week is that my oldest son just turned 6 today!!!!!! Freaky that he is that old already and I just got there college investment plans started. He and I woke up early this morning and went to McDonald for his daddy/son birthday breakfast that my dad used to have with me. He then got to choose the class snack so he took 25 individual chocolate puddings to school. He got to sit in a special birthday chair and hold the birthday teddy bear at school today. He also wore a crown and had the class sing to him. This afternoon I picked him up to school instead of him riding the bus. I picked him up on my motorcycle and all the kids oohed and ahhed. When I pulled up, one of the safety patrol kids yelled "who's dad has the cool motorcycle?" When he walked up, they all started saying, "wow, a kindergartner gets to ride home on the motorcycle just because it's his birthday" It was nice weather so we rode around the lake a bit. When we got home we played "butts up" with the tennis ball outside and went exploring in the woods. After dinner we had cake and let him open his GI Joe he's been wanting. On the 29th we will have a pizza party at pizza hut with all his friends, but this Sunday he gets to go to Medieval Times with the family. He's pretty excited.

Will try to stay on top of things now, would appreciate your prayers for my wife and the house situation.
