News of the Day

Well, the camera is refusing to talk to the computer again, so sorry Mom, this post has no pictures. When they are on speaking terms I will try to post pictures of Connor opening his presents.

But today was a big day for a Sunday. Yesterday we got new carpet downstairs and on the stairs. We spent a mad 24 hours cleaning and today our wonderful realtor, Samantha, came to take pictures of the house and put a sign in the front yard. So tomorrow our listing will be on MLS and the house will officially be on the market. We are moving for a few reasons. The main one is that it takes Dave at least an hour and fifteen minutes to get home from work. So being that the market in S. Austin is still fairly decent and that there are only 5 houses for sale in our neighborhood, we decided it was time to try our luck. We looked at our competition and we win hands down, but we'll see how it goes. So as long as we're moving we need to look at the schools because the one this neighborhood goes to is ok, but a very old building with bugs. We are looking in the area where I used to teach up in Round Rock. I found a house a week or so ago, but Dave hasn't seen it yet. I think it fits everything we're looking for, but it's off the market for now. They are re-doing the floors and counter tops and will put it back up in a few weeks probably at a higher price, but we'll see. The ironic thing is that I think I taught their daughter when she was in first grade. So, we'll see how it all plays out...keep your fingers crossed for us!

Our second big news of the day is that we went to the after-hours clinic today with Connor. He's had a fever for almost a week now, but it's been around 100 and he's getting his two top teeth. His nose has been congested but now it's running non-stop. He's also started with a bad hacking cough. We decided to go to the doctor anyway just to make sure. The doctor said she thought it was just the common cold and we'd just have to wait it out. We'll see. The poor little guy doesn't seem to be feeling so hot, but hopefully it will run it's course quickly and he'll be back in top shape soon.
