IT'S SOLD!

Well the house is sold, we all agreed on a price and everything is signed. It's a couple that are getting married in August that bought the house. We close on August 1st and have to be out by August 10th. We feel VERY relieved since it's amazing that it was only up for sale for a month! We have nothing lined up in Colon as of yet, but are going on Sunday to look at several houses. We will most likely need to move in with someone or down to a cottage in Colon that was offered to us. So now I just need to start boxing up things since I know these next 3-4 weeks will fly by. Already today has been filled with phones calls to the realtor, GVSU, septic tank systems, and trying to find boxes. Any ideas of how to get boxes? I also realized this morning that I had no pull-ups for Macey so I asked if she wanted to wear underwear. She was quite thrilled about this. So far she's stayed dry and has asked to go potty once. The other time I made her sit. It helps that her good friend Bennett is mostly potty trained and she is determined to be like him. So she will say, "Macey wear underwear just like Bennett!" We'll see how long this lasts as we've tried this a few times already. Actually the last time was the day she broke her leg and it was going quite well, but I've put it off since. But today, I really just don't fee like going out to buy pullups and if she's interested, I guess I better try. Might as well get a few potty stains in this carpet since it won't be ours anymore :)


I haven't taken any great pictures lately, but here are a few. Kelsey is getting much stronger these last few weeks as she's rolling over both ways and is starting to do an army crawl forward. She also scoots her legs under her and pushes forward. It's quite interesting to watch as she's SO determined and really "thinks" she's crawling. Her other new thing is sticking out her tongue as you will see in the picures.


Look at my cool hairdo in the back!

Yes, Kelsey really DID spit up in Jason's mouth!
Typical Mace, biting her nails hanging out.

I'm sure Jason was thrilled that you took that picture of spit up on his mouth..:) I wonder what Sis would have thought about that! I'll try and get you some big boxes!

Congratulations on the sale of your house! How exciting! I can't even imagine the work it will be to pack up EVERYTHING you own. Good luck! Can't wait to see pics of your new house in Colon! :)

So happy for both of you. If you would like any help boxing up things, call me, or if you want a sitter for the kids. Sometimes the best way to potty train is spur of the moment. Macey is such a big girl, and keeping up with Bennett. Kelsey could start a new hair fad
