Big Weekend Update!

Well, it has been an interesting weekend, to say the least. On Friday we sold our house!! We still have to have an inspection (happening tomorrow) and appraisal but we found buyers and our closing is November 20th. We negotiated to be out by Dec 1st at no charge. I guess I won't be hosting Thanksgiving after all. I had the menu all picked out! Someone better step up to the plate because I will need some turkey.

Last week we had buyers but the deal didn't go through and this week another couple came and we got another contract. We're excited, scared, happy, scared, delighted, scared. Did I mention scared? As much as we wanted to sell our home, it's bittersweet because Daniel was born in this house and this is all he knows but at the same time we know better things are waiting for us including a better commute for Ry. We won't necessarily be going bigger just a different layout in a good neighborhood with good schools. It all happened so fast that panic has not set in yet. This time of year is not the best time to buy either so as we ventured out for some house hunting on Saturday we quickly realized we will most likely be renting until that perfect house comes along. We don't want to settle for just an OK house since this move will hopefully be for a good while.

Yesterday to put our worries on hold we went to the pumpkin farm. Even though it was breezy we had a good time. Ry's parents came with us and we all realized how much easier it was with a 7 month old last year vs. a 18 month old this year. D had a mind of his own, wondered aimlessly and we had to run after him. Overall he had a good time. Here are some pics. D doesn't smile when told so we had to do tricks still.

He fell asleep in the car on the way there and it took him 20 minutes, a cereal bar and some water to get him going.
