We got it!

Our contract was accepted!  Can't wait!  We will have an inspection next week, and then if all goes well closing should be Sept. 21 - 45 days from today - did I count right?  The hardest work is over now, we just gotta make it happen.

Here's a link.

I will be back in VA in 2 weeks - Aug 20 - 23, but I won't have a car.  It's for packing and picking up our stuff, but touch base with me if you want to stop by the old diggs or something!

Plan to come see us in CA too - 3 bedrooms, so one will be a guest room.  Unless you want to help unpack though, give us until after Halloween.  We will be 2.5 blocks from the beach.

Missing Friends and Family in CA!

I can't believe I haven't posted since last Tuesday, but that's how it is sometimes!  We had a blast at Aunt Shirley's - it was a party every night and the kids loved it.  I think it exhausted us all though!

My camera broke, but I got the pics off the camera - finally.  Here are a couple of the boys - Joseph with the grandparents, Anthony in the pool with his beloved Becca and in the sand at Becca's beach birthday party (she's 12!)

We put an offer in on a house yesterday and haven't heard back yet - they have until tomorrow night.  I'm scared sh*tless - not that we won't get it, but that we will and will have to pay for it!  AHH!  It's gorgeous though.

We ran a bunch of errands today, we will look at a preschool tomorrow, and then I might get brave and take the boys to the beach on Wed.  We'll see.  At the beach party, Joseph was not afraid of the waves at all (Brian and his dad followed him) and Anthony played in the sand with the trucks and occasionally hit the waves....

How are my friends and family?

Beachy Day

We went to a cute little beach today, boys had a blast.  I was somewhat unprepared.  It was only supposed to be in the mid-70s so I thought we would only get our toes wet.  WRONG!  I should have worn my swimsuit and brought lunch - it was hard to tear them away to go home.  Haha, better for me to learn now I guess that at the "big beaches" in CA.

It was warm in the sun and we have been swimming a lot lately so they boys are getting really comfortable in the water.

In other news, we don't have this offer yet, but our realtor says it's still coming - supposed to be good price-wise, so I am anxious to see it (and sign it?!)  and the A/C at the house is working..  for now.

Tomorrow we are going back to "Pump it Up."  Joseph hasn't stopped asking about it since last week when we went.  Friday we will be flying out to be with Daddy - possibly indefinitely!  Cross your fingers for us.

What we're up to....

Ok, so before I talk about the fun things we have been doing, let me also say that we miss all of our friends greatly - the ones from the neighborhood that we saw daily, the ones we saw at school, our weekly playgroups, and our weekend friends we visited with as families. We miss everyone, but we are trying to make the best of it, so I'm sharing the cute/fun stuff rather than complaining at this moment. :)
Here is the beach from Sister Bay, WI last weekend...
and the park today, where we went with my mom (Nana)....
Next I will talk about my dream business... :)
