Grown Up Toys

This weekend Sven and I don't have anything planned except maybe to do some window shopping because we're going to need to be thinking about purchasing these items in our future...(Plus we shouldn't be spending money if we're going to be buying these large ticketed items...eek)

Just keeping my fingers crossed that everything will go well with the appraisal and inspection so in a few weeks we can ACTUALLY make these purchases!

Homeowners

For the past few months Sven and I have been working with a realtor to see what homes were for sale in the area. After seeing many homes, searching the Internet daily and competing with other buyers Sven and I have finally found a house...AND...our offer has been accepted! We're very excited to be homeowners, so now that we have the house picked out the true fun begins. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well and that we'll be able to close on our house at the end of June!

Happy Mother's Day

M - O - T - H - E - R

"M" is for the million things she gave me,

"O" means only that she's growing old,

"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,

"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,

"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,

"A word that means the world to me.

Howard Johnson (c. 1915)

I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day Mom, Jessica, Grandma and Granny!
