A house, a house, we have a house!!!!

Well, it's not ours yet, but we have it under contract. It is certainly a whole lot more complicated in Vermont to buy a house, way more than it needs to be. Here is a link to the listing

We are pretty excited and looking forward to our stuff getting out of storage. Our tentative close is on May 16th and that is certainly pushing it. It's been fun trying to put together a house deal and financing while on vacation. I'll try and get some more vacation pics posted tonight.

Jim, Jo, and the boys.

Havin' fun with the mouse

We are having fun here in Orlando. We were very delayed out of Philly and didn't land until after midnight. We recovered, and did a quick shell finding stint on the gulf. We then went to Orlando and did Animal Kingdom at Disney. Grandma Dorothy flew in that evenning and arrived while we were taking a break at the condo. BJ stayed back with grandma to go swimming and the four of the rest of us went to the magic kingdom from about 8-11. We hit a bunch of rides in a very short time, it was a blast! I've put a picks in here. A side note, I went on the Expedition Everest ride and then BJ did it with me and he had fun but he was partially scared out of his mind. We bought the picture and it says it all. We will scan that when we get a chance. It's priceless.

The lights are back on at 1607 Sheldon

Several items to report:
1 - The continuing story of Sean - He did break his foot. It is not serious and will heal without a cast. He has a post surgical boot that he wears and needs to keep on during the day. So he will be fine but hobbled a bit.
2 - The lights are back on at 1607 Sheldon Rd. in Grand Haven but not by us. Yep, we sold the house. It closed Tuesday afternoon and we are both happy and sad but now we can move forward. We are hoping to make an offer tomorrow on a house here. When it's accepted we'll post pictures. Happy days!
3 - As stated we hope to put an offer on the house tomorrow which should get us closed around May 16th at the earliest. So that gives us a week of prep and then move in over Memorial weekend. The only drawback is we have to negotiate while at Disney this coming week. We leave Saturday and are darned excited to go.
4 - Zack started baseball pracitce so thats cool. I didn't get to see it, but he was pretty amp'd up when he got home and insisted we go out and play catch. So thats cool.

Stay tuned next week for some disney pics.

Quick updae on the Seanster

Adding one more thing to deal with........Seany was jumping on a hippity-hop ball and landed on his foot wrong somehow. We let it sit overnight and he was even running around on it ths morning in an attempt to avoid 'The Doctor!!" So we went looking at a few houses today and decided to bring him into the ER just to make sure he didn't ull a BJ and break something. Turns out he did something that made his X-rays not look quite right so the ER guy ut a formed splint on it and Sean and I will be headed into the orthopedic guy tomorrow morning. So we don't kow for sure if it's broken but we will find out tomorrow. As Grandma Dorothy pointed out, ifit is broken we'll be jumping to the front of all the lines at Disney next week with gimpy.

Check out the quick video below, I posted it of Seany skiing but didn't send out a notification. I'm trying to post another one of him skiing but this websight and our dial-up are not liking it.

Engineer in training.....

These are creations by BJ. They are just a few examples of what he does everyday. It is truly amazing to see what he comes up with and also how proud he is of each thing regardless of how big or small, simple or complex.
