Maybe Home, Sweet, Maybe Home

This week I left Henry with Grammy to go back to Baltimore to find a house.
It was hard to leave this face! He seems to have grown ten years this week! 2 new teeth are present, and there are like 10 new words or phrases that are either much more clear or altogether new.

The trip may have been a huge success though! After twenty six, oh yes 2-6, houses I think we found the one. This is a great house on a cute street! I also met the neighbors and they all assured me that they have all lived there for a million years (well, 20+) and that there has never been any issues or anything. That was a big relief!
Anyway, I signed the paperwork, and we negotiated a price and the signed documents were sent to Washington state where the seller lives. Currently we are waiting on her to FedEx the paperwork back to make it legal, but I've been told that they are no longer showing the house, and that all we are waiting on is the paperwork to get back to us!
So we may just have a new home!

This is the front of our (maybe) house!
There is a piece of siding that came off in a terrible storm last week, but the piece is fine and is waiting to be put back up.


The porch and front door.



The kitchen is beautiful!! It's completely renovated and all of the appliances are brand spanking new! No stains to clean out of the fridge, or gunk to scrape out of the oven.
And look at all of those beautiful cabinets and DRAWERS!!! Movin' on up, indeed!


One of the things we really loved about the house on Mallow Hill was the stained glass windows, so we were thrilled to see these windows in the living room!


And this is the back yard. While we were there looking around and I was enchanted by this great yard and great house, a real live bunny was hopping around near that bird bath! Even though the city is only minutes away it feels like we are secluded in some Wisteria-like setting.
Minus the naked ladies in shrubbery, and murder twists!

It's Show Time!


This is hands down, the funniest kid I have ever had!
He has always loved hats and now he's found the mother of them all!!
The show restarts tonight at 7:30 for anyone who is looking for something spectacular to do!

It's Spectacular!

Every year at Emily's church they have Summer Spectacular as their form of VBS. It includes an amazing transformation of the entire church, about 8,000 people, and a musical each night. This year I was able to be apart of the chorus in the show and it is so much fun!

The guys

All the single ladies!


Henry and Mommy!

Our next session begins Wednesday so feel free to come by and enjoy the show!

Zoo Days!


Last Wednesday Maelie, Dane, Henry and I took a trip to the zoo! It was such a great day for it, and we had such a good time!

Even after 2 hours these were two happy kids!

Today Zoo Members were able to go into the zoo an hour early to watch the animals be fed and to enjoy free train and carousel rides!

Henry was not crazy about the carousel. I told him "Don't worry. I've got you." and he grabbed on to my shirt and said "I gotcha. I gotcha." over and over again! So funny!

Maelie did a GREAT job on the carousel! She liked it a lot more than when we went on it last year!


And here are our two monkeys looking at the gorillas!
