Contract Pending!

Thursday night we finally got an offer on our house! I couldn't believe it. One hour before the contract expired on Friday, we accepted the sellers offer!

I thought selling our house was exactly what I wanted, BUT now I'm having mixed emotions. This was our first house together, and we brought all three of our babies home from the hospital in this house. Don't get me wrong, I am excited, just a little scared.

We are supposed to close September 28th, but we still need to make it through the appraisal before it's final. If the house appraises for what we're asking, it will be final. It could swing either way at this point. I am leaving it completely in God's hands, and have decided I will not be upset either way. Whatever happens will be His plan for us!

We should know something within the next two weeks!

Grandchildren

I just love this picture! This is my Grandparents (my mom's parents) and all the great-grandchildren on that side of the family. We don't get the chance to be together very often so this picture is extra special!

My Bicycle Boy

I am so excited to announce that, Amos, can ride a big boy bicycle now! No more training wheels!!! I also need to mention, that he is my youngest and only child that can ride a bike!

Last year, Amos walked into the kitchen where I was cooking and said, "mom, I'm goin' out in the garage for a minute to work on my bike." When I looked down at him he was holding his toy wrench, hammer and screwdriver and so I said, "Okay.. whatever. Have fun!" When I went out to check on him he had taken his training wheels off his bike! I couldn't believe it! I didn't know a little plastic toy could do that!

It wasn't until this past Thursday, for whatever reason, he was suddenly motivated to get on his bike and ride!

We pulled up to our house in the car and Amos said, "Mom, I'm going to ride my bike today!" and I said, "You've got ten minutes (thinking he would scoot around on it and drag his feet)!" Well, he pulled his bike out of the garage and literally took off like a pro! Can you tell I'm a proud mother???

Anyway, I ran in the house and grabbed my camera and here is the video...
