news.....

So I believe I can finally divulge everything that has been going on the past 5 months in our lives. It has been a little nutso to say the least. Hmmmm, where to begin??

Ok, so 5 months ago we embarked upon the home buying process via the short sale route (btw there is NOTHING "short" about a short sale). It is a buyers market and there are many, many deals to take advantage of if you are in need of a home. We had successfully nailed down renters for our home in Wenatchee, for the time being, and felt we had really found the perfect neighborhood and home for our growing family in Canby.

Then this all happened....

* For 5 months we were dragged through the short sale process only to have the home foreclose on us because the owner is, well....let's say, difficult is an understatement. Devastating.

* Renters in Wenatchee tell us they are moving out

* The current house we are renting goes into short sale/foreclosure mode

*Kevin's dental practice is super busy with aesthetic improvements to the building...lots of time and work...and lots of NEW pateints!

*Early contractions, and doctor visits due to stress:(

*Find new home in same great neighborhood and close within 4 weeks (july 29)

*Kevin gone in Wentachee to meet new renters this weekend (thank god for them!)

*Home we are currently renting and living in sells

*Crunch time to get everything packed and moved at almost 7 months preggo.

In the meantime...I have a wonderful little toddler approaching her terrible 2's. Well, I really think she's been flirting with the terrible 2's idea since she was 1 1/2. She is so smart and stubborn. I know everyone thinks their own child is smart, but she really has been an observer since she was born and now that she can talk and communicate, it is AMAZING what she is putting together at her age.

So we've also been busy with her at parks, zoos, playdates, trips, and just plain old fun around the house:)

So here's our new home. Not the best pic. When I get more I will post:)

I can't wait to MOVE IN!!!

Sweet Parker at the park

Kevin calls this "dress up time with Diane Keaton" lol

Walking in daddy's shoes already

One of Parker's best friends, Wrigley. This happens daily. Poor, sweet Wrigs just sits there:)

Just catching up on some TPS reports:)

Trips to the zoo with her bestie boy friend Eamon. Yes, they choose to walk like this.

A little lunch break at the zoo. Melts my heart.

My next post, will hopefully be from our new home...all unpacked and settled with a little less stress. Well at least until Taylor arrives:)
