Appraisal

So I wish there was a less stressful way to sell your house but alas there is not. Rowen and I are sitting here today waiting for the appraisal man to come. Now I have to say I really shouldn't be complaining. We put our house up for sale on February 28...It sold in two weeks (and they say we are in an economic crisis). A professor and his family bought it. But either way here we are waiting for this guy to get here and he's late. I am trying desperately to let Rowen sleep. It's only fair, it is her morning nap time. But back to my original thought....WHAT an adventure we are on! I know I said yesterday how hard it might be to live with Greg's parents but how cool it will be for Rowen to be able to be so close to her grandparents, even if it is for a short time and HOW exciting it is for us to be able to build our dream house and be able to save money along the way! We will finally be rid of my college loans. YAH! I think I said before all the emotions I was going through as I was realizing we would be moving out of this house. Its not like I hate the place. It's just that we are getting to big to stay here. We have too much crap! hahah. 

So in other news I am getting more and more excited about the upcoming events that are happening. Sarah and Travis's wedding is just around the corner. In fact, last night they were here to make invitations and have coffee. I never realized how relaxing that can be to just chill with friends. And I am getting so excited for our family vacation to Colorado. I have not been there in 7 years. How much I have changed since then and how much Colorado has changed as well...I cant wait!

I guess thats all for now...stay tuned. 

6.5 Months Old

mmmm....I love giraffe!

Hello, Mama

This giraffe is her best friend right now!

chewing on her little hands because her teeth are coming in. Poor kid!

6.5 Months Old:
Is it possible? It is possible because that's how old she is. She went to her 6 month check up last week and she is 17 pounds, 26 3/4 in. and growing! I cant believe how tall she is or how fast she has grown. She was born at 4 pounds and to be this big already! She is doing great. Eating lots of solid food now...her favorite being squash and sweet potatoes. She started rolling over...and she talks and babbles so much. She is a delight to be around. She started sleeping through the night right after Christmas and she has continued her schedule which I am very thankful for. I am also extremely thankful that I can stay home with this bundle of joy! Greg is grateful for it too. I am lucky that I get to see all these great changes that take place every day.

In other news, Greg and i just sold the house about a week ago. In a way, I am excited for our new adventure! But in all other ways I remember everything that took place in this house. I fell in love, I started a family here. But slowly I know we are out growing it. So we have to be out of here by ...April 30th...YIKES~ lots of packing. As of right now, we are going to build out dream house. But in doing that we have to moving in with Greg's parents for about 6 months- yeh! I cried too. Well see how it goes, I am going in with a positive attitude but I dont know how long it will last. Either way, it should be interesting.

Thats all for now. Rowen and I are going out to lunch with some friends.

Rowen Elizabeth

Rowen was born September 7. She was born 8.5 weeks early, spending nearly 42 days in the NICU. Seeing her play and looking at her now...no one would ever guess.
