James has become increasingly contrary and also getting less sleep so we made him nap today. Naptimes are hit and miss these days. He just had a blast at Grandma’s house yesterday. I’ll get pictures up soon.
We’re officially looking for a house and have narrowed our primary search down to two neighborhoods. For those of you praying for us, our specific prayers are 1. affordable, 2. the right time (we’d like to close on May 1, 2008), 3. in one of our two neighborhoods (Buttercup or Brushy Creeks). We will be applying for our pre-approval in a month and then start doing walk-throughs to become educated about what’s out there and what we like and don’t like in a home. (I can already tell you that I do not like fireplaces and brass bathroom fixtures!!) Our meeting with our realtor today was so educational. There is so much to learn and we’re already getting excited about the process!
We also visited a pumpkin patch last weekend — woooo boy that was almost a mistake. James was being very uncooperative and I was ready to list him for sale on ebay at several points during that trip. We did get some pictures, thanks in part to our friend, Matt, who chased James around and took his mind off of what Mommy and Daddy were telling him to do (come here and stand by this pumpkin, James!). James is in a “NO!” phase and has already gotten in trouble today for yelling that to my (mommy’s) face. This toddler age is wearing me out.
