Our walk through is today! hooray!

At the time of these pictures the house still needed a good cleaning of course but we are excited to finally get to have our walk through today at 2 pm!!!! We never thought this day would get here, but it is now and we sure still have a lot to pack!

Glasses

Got my new glasses in! Here's a picture for your enjoyment. Pardon the "blueness" of the photo, I took this with the webcam on my laptop. Also pardon the messy room in the background...I know you looked now! ;)

Carpet, hooray!

Well things are finishing up with the house! Last week our carpets and blinds were installed and this weekend our cabinets and hardware for doors were put in. Our walk through is on 2/23 and we close on 2/25 at 9 am! We are soooo excited and the day couldn't come sooner :)

Avy loves to Eat People Food!

No baby food for this baby, she just simply won't eat it. Only table food is acceptable. Here she is thoroughly enjoying her midnight snack.

House updates

As you can see, our house is very quickly coming to the finishing stages. Hooray!! Our paint is in and dry, vinyl flooring for the bath and laundry room is in, and lighting is all in. That just leaves the laminate flooring for kitchen and dining room, carpet, cabinets, counters, and appliances and we are done!
The flooring and cabinets were set to be in later this week so next week all we should have left is counters, appliances and cleaning. How exciting!! We have a walk through scheduled for the 19th and closing on the 24th. We're almost home owners!

Those "priceless" teeth

About 2 years ago Joshie broke off one of his front teeth, we think, by chewing on a toy. Upon taking him to the dentist, they told us it would be best to cap it so that it didn't break off further and expose the root. This is a fairly big procedure for an 18 month old because they have to put them under general anesthesia for it. So we did it and paid about $400 out of pocket for his new shiny front tooth. Fast forward 6 months later.....While brushing his teeth that night I discover that he broke off BOTH front teeth somehow during the day!! No major falls occurred that I was aware of and I was just flabbergasted at out this could be happening again. Back to the dentist we went. This time, both teeth were capped so that his speech would not be impeded as he learned to talk, this time with metal behind the teeth instead of just the white stuff that look like real teeth. There would be no breaking these babies! This trip cost us closer to $1000 out of pocket due to the costs of the surgery center rising, and of course, double the teeth fixed. Those are some pretty darned expensive baby teeth! And of course we knew they wouldn't last forever, but it was worth the money knowing that he would learn to talk correctly and wouldn't look like a orphan child with two fragments for front teeth.
Fast forward 1.5 years to the present......regular dentist appointment for cleanings....only to find out BOTH said teeth are infected and need to be pulled. Yes, thats right, pulled. I asked if this was a cavity that went unnoticed to turn into an infection, but he said no, usually an infection results from a root that dies and then gets infected. He said it probably resulted from a fall. Jeez Joshie must fall ALOT! I promise I'm a good mother, really.
