And he's off...

Our lives will never be the same. It is amazing what
just a couple days can bring about. Only Friday we
were beginning to think he would walk before he
started crawling...I guess not. Mom, you'd better
have those floors clean if he comes over. He sure
likes being able to move around.

Yes, this is all new snow on the first day of Spring...



"We were so close...why? Why?



"Dad, you promised we would be able to go out???"

1st day of Spring?

Well, it wouldn't be Minnesota if on the first full day of Spring we got 6+ inches of snow. Boy, there are times when it is a wonder why we are living here... We had a few beautiful days, snow was melting, and both Nolan and I (Karl) were anxious about being able to spend days outside. We will just have to wait a few more weeks...

Laura and I are still discussing the possibility of moving out of our townhouse this year. It is a pretty tough decision, since there is very little change we will be able to sell this year. We are excited that we have been able to do some more searching and have found several potential houses in the new price range. However, it is still a gamble as we both are concerned about this townhouse sitting unoccupied for several months, and us still having to pay the mortgage. So the debate continues...

"I didn't knock that over, did I?"



"Yeah, I'm getting bigger everyday."



"Just can't go forwards...yet."



"Did you want me to just change the oil?"

Housing Update

We had our meeting with our mortgage consultant, and while the news wasn't as positive as we would have liked, it still looks like we might be able to get out of our townhouse this year. There are lots of variables that will have an impact on what we move into, so the process is just in the beginning stages. However, both Laura and I agree that we are ready to move into something bigger and more suited for our growing family.

Nolan is still the master of scooting backwards. He just hasn't quite put the idea of moving his hands and knees together to go forwards yet. I'm starting to think that isn't that bad of a thing, I know that once he starts moving, he probably won't stop unless he is asleep. More to come soon...

careful, the ending might have you falling off your
chair laughing!
