Sunday, Sunday. Everyone should have an opportunity to see Avi's excitement to put on her Sunday dress- I also let her wear her favorite one today- so that made it extra cute. She loves to wear pretty dresses.
This morning painted her nails pink with sparkles on top and went out on the swings together for a little bit. Avi is having a hard time with nursery so Gunnar and I took turns being with her. Gunnar reported she needs to play with children her own age more often- she usually plays with older cousins- she is too rough for her own age.
Gage received several compliments of how cute he was today at church. I bought him a little suit, and I think really is so handsome :). This suit is an 18 month suit! I looked for a 12 month one, but the store did not have one, but I ended up being thankful, because we can barely button the top button and the sleeves! What a big boy!
Yesterday Gage was sleeping on the bed- I had put what Gunnar called a "pillow fortress" around him to keep him from rolling off. Gunn and I were upstairs when we heard him stirring on the monitor. We turned on the video monitor and Gunn informed me that Gage had just moved a pillow. I ran down stairs- I reached the door in time to see Gage rolling off the bed. I dived for him. I half caught him and the pillow broke the rest of the fall. He cried out of being startled, but thankfully he was okay.
I am so impressed with Gunnar for one of his assignments he has to write up an experiment with the scientific method- so his is about Avi's loose stools- now this is REAL science!
Our real estate agent called the other day and said things were going smoothly- we may be able to close before our "date" of Sept 26. We are very excited! So since I have not written about house hunting.... We knew we were going up Pocatello for a year. We looked into rentals and then started thinking about buying. We felt impressed that this was the time to invest. We took two trips out to look at homes-Fourth of July and then about a week later to home up for a little family reunion (by the time we were done the kids were going crazy with being in the truck soo much- it is at least an 8 hour car trip each way, plus kid time, plus house hunting, plus reunion took us to Yellow Stone, and then we went to Disneyland, and then we moved..... lots and lots of driving this summer!!) Anyway, we looked at many homes on-line, weeded through met with our agent several times, put offers on two different homes- without success.
When we were back in Fallon Gunnar was looking on-line and saw a price drop- a town house built in 2007, 2322 sq ft (upstairs finished, basement unfinished), 2 bed, 2 bath.... In the very beginning I had said I thought it would be a good idea- but at the time it $15,000 more... well drop that much, and we were interested. We prayed about it to see if we should put an offer, we both felt it would be okay, but uneasy. We felt we should wait. Well, the next day it dropped another $10,000. We put in a bid close to the asking price, we didn't want to loose this one, and we got it. We are now waiting to close... exciting! We are excited to move in.
The other night when we were putting Avi to bed, Gunnar hid behind the door. Avi was thrilled- she wanted a turn to hide. She ran out the door, we counted, and she happily ran back in. This started several rounds of hide-n-seek. We had such fun. It was challenge to hid with Avi, because she would not stay quiet, and wanted to jump out of hiding.
