Settlement (Redux)

The settlement on the Silver Spring house was delayed fro Friday until today at 4:30. It looks like everything is lined up, but you never know until it is done.

New Baby

After making the first announcements to the immediate family I am now starting to think a little more about our new baby in the works. The due date is about May 10 so that still seems pretty far away. However, as of today, Debbie is in the second trimester, which means that we are already 1/3 of the way there, which is a little hard to believe.

Beth asked me yesterday if it was "Real" yet. Frankly, it's not too real to me yet.

Seth doesn't really have any grasp of this yet. We have not talked to him specifically about it and I don't think he would understand anyway. It is such a long way off. He doesn't have a concept of "tomorrow" yet much less "May."

Speaking of Seth, he had his two year doctor visit yesterday. Everything is fine. He is 33 1/2 inches tall and weighs 26 pounds.

Settlement

Settlement for the Silver Spring house has been scheduled for Friday. It looks like everything is going as it should so, unless something really unexpected happens, I should own only one house as of Friday afternoon. That will be a good thing!

New Contract

We got another contract on the house yesterday. Now if we can just get this one to settlement...

Happy Birhtday Seth

Today is Seth's 2nd birthday! Last night when I was putting him to bed I told him a story about the day he was born. He was sitting in my lap listening and when I finished the story he turned around and gave me a big hug.

This evening we will have a small celebration at Mom and Dad's for dinner and on Saturday we will have a little party.

No Contract

The contract on the Silver Spring house fell through. Apparently there were two bothers involved in the purchase and they had some kind of a disagreement so they cancelled the contract. It's frustrating, but there is nothing I can do about it except encourage the real estate agent to find another buyer.

Another Contract

On Wednesday we got a signed contract for the Silver Spring house. That's a releif. Now if we can just get it through to settlement on the 27th.

Ted and Peggy arrive this evening for a visit. They will be here through the 18th, I think. I am sure they will enjoy spending time with Debbie and the boy.
