Offers, Appraisal, Inspection--Oh MY!

Ladies and Gentlemen...we are waist deep it this house selling thing!  Our realtor called us on 8/4 (our anniversary...) to let us know that we had an offer come in.  Needless to say we were happy to hear that just 15 days in.  Being that we are on a main road, next to a daycare and there are high-tension power lines close by we were concerned that it might take a little while (none of that is really an issue for us but could be for many).  We had another showing later that day and lucky us, a second offer!  We decided to go with the first one, but it sure was a good feeling to know that more than one person wanted our house :)  

At this point, I'm trying not to get too excited because I know that an offer is just the first hurtle to get over.  The appraisal is tomorrow and the inspection is on Monday, so we could use a few prayers this weekend....

Watch Out World (At Least, Sis)

Ben is on his way to walking!! He has been testing his legs while holding on to just one finger and doing laps around the coffee table/footstool with minimal touching for awhile now. But with the latest round of Strep putting him down and out this week we haven't seen him trying to do much more than cuddle. But today, that all changed when Ben took his first series of unassisted steps! I'm sure it won't be long before he is RUNNING around like a crazy man! So fun!!!
