When I uploaded my pictures from my camera to my computer and began looking through them, I noticed an alarming number of random pictures (101 to be exact!!!!) that I did not take! You can all take a wild guess at who did - and if you can't figure it out, there is a big clue in one of these pictures. I have selected several to show you her abilities:
Apparently, this is where she began chasing Chuck around. There are about 20 or more pictures of Chuck - starting out on the chair in the dining room:
Then under the chair in the kitchen:
And finally in the garage. Note: This picture is taken through the cat door!
And here is your BIG clue:
Great pictures, huh? Well, I didn't show you all the ones with her hand in front or the ones of nothing in particular. But she really did have some pretty good pictures of different things.
Anyway, here are some "intentional" pictures of Owen and Olivia.
Check out this outfit (even the socks!) - Go Pack!
Here are some cute videos of Owen. The first is him holding a rattle for the first time and the others are of him smiling and talking. Very cute!
We are doing a pretty good job of packing up the house for our move (we close in less than 2 weeks and move in 2 from tomorrow!!!). My Aunt and Mom helped a ton when they were here. We got everything in the kitchen and dining room that we wouldn't need the last month here packed up. My dad, brother and mom also helped us get everything down from our attic for us to go through and pack up. We've just about gone through all of that - just have a couple things to put on Craigslist to sell (anyone want a 25 gallon aquarium with a ton of accessories??) My Aunt is coming back this Sunday to stay a few nights to help me pack up the rest of the house! How awesome is that! Then my parents are coming back next weekend to babysit so we can take Olivia (shhhhsshhh - it's a surprise) to Disney princesses on ice Saturday afternoon, then my company Christmas party is that night. Then the next weekend they are coming back again to help with the official move! OMG, we are running crazy around here!!!
Oh, I forgot to tell you all - great news about our current house (nope, didn't sell it). Since we couldn't seem to get it sold and we were seriously running out of time, we contacted a rental agency to help us rent it out and manage the rental for us (like we have the time to do it ourselves!!!). Anyway, we put it on the rental market on a Wednesday (2 weeks ago), we had a showing the next day. By that weekend we not only got an offer from that couple, but also another one that had never come to see it in person (they are in Tennessee), but saw it online and loved it! So, they had a little bidding war and we wound up renting it for $40 more than we were asking a month and for 15 months instead of 12! Wow! All the paperwork has been signed officially, so we are good to go with that starting the first of the year (and it more than covers our mortgage here - Yeah!). Thank goodness we don't have to worry about that anymore! That is a huge relief! Especially with me not working right now while I'm out on maternity leave (and not getting paid) and us building the house with a much higher mortgage and then having both kids in daycare starting the first of the year. What a relief not to have a second mortgage to boot!
Well, that is about all that is going on right now. We do have our walk-through for our new house next Thursday morning, so I'm guessing we will see a lot more progress on the house when we go visit this weekend. I'm hoping for a rock fireplace and carpeting! We will see . . .
