New House & New Tooth

So after much drama we have a contract on a house. We spent the week discussing, searching, crying and searching some more. This is actually the second house we've made an offer on this week. It's in Pflugerville which is about 1 exit further than we wanted to go, but there's just something about this house/lot that drew me to it. It is currently vacant...a big plus for us so that we can move in quickly. It has 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms and 3,550 sq ft...which yes, is a little bigger than we need right now, but after searching hundreds of houses this was the one that spoke to us. It's on a .39 lot which is HUGE in a golf course community. There is a hole (golf) just out the back and also one across the street in the front. It's just sooooo peaceful and beautiful. Unfortunately, or fortunately for us, this neighborhood has taken a BIG hit in the recession and we were able to buy it for $12,500 less than the previous owner paid for it. Actually we believe that it's been empty since he bought it in 2007. His realtor told us he lives in CA and was never able to move into it due to health reasons. This house isn't too much closer to Dave's work according to mileage, but because it's all Toll Way he can do 70mph most of the way to work instead of 35mph and it should only take him about 20 min. So hopefully the whole deal on both houses goes smoothly the rest of the way and we will be in our new house this time next month!

Connor finally got his 6th tooth yesterday too. That tooth has been sitting just under the gum since Feb. Poor little guy will be the only kid in Kindergarten still getting teeth instead of losing them. He's been such a trooper this week. I've dragged him to at least 20 houses and he's not fussed at all. He's been exhausted from being off his schedule, but all in all he's doing really well. He's really into books these days and I think he might actually sit on your lap 24/7 and let you read to him. He takes at least 3 books to bed with him and the first thing he does when he gets up is grab one and start going through it. It's great...a little tiring sometimes, but a good sign!
