We have purchased a house! The deal is done, the papers are signed. We close in late July . . . and then we will be official home owners. It is a cute house -- white with black shutters and a door that is begging me to paint it red. There is a giant old tree in the front yard and a giant old tree in the back yard. The street is shady and leafy and lined with nice little homes. I think that it will make a good settling-in place for us. Mr. will attend an inspection on Monday, and we are anticipating that all will be well. I will instruct him to take numerous pictures so that we can post them here.
The Sad / Bad News:
Our visit with Grandma and Papa Peanut came to an end today. In all of our crazy activities this week, it was difficult to truly appreciate our time together as much as we usually do. Their presence, though, made all of this activity possible and so much easier for all of us. On the bright side, they had a wonderful time just being with the little Peanuts and playing with them. One day, Miss was allowed *three* trips to the playground, and one trip to the local mall play area. She was ecstatic. It was also nice to have them with us as we unexpectedly went through the home buying process this week. They encouraged us and were excited for us, even when the whole business was giving me a splitting headache. Their presence helped. A lot.
We are so glad that it will only be two weeks before we see Grandma and Papa again, along with all of our families in Southern Cal.
This little armadillo is a favorite of Miss Peanut's from Grandma and Papa's house. He comes to visit when they come, and he goes back home with them. Goodbye, Mr. "Harmadillo," we hope to see you soon.

Hmmm...I am afraid "Mr. Harmadillo" was left out of the blog. Did you mean to post a picture of him?
Congrats on the house! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Love,
Faith
