Busy Week

Now that we have the house under contract, the busy work has begun. We have checked off the Homeowner's Insurance, met with our Lender, scheduled the Inspection, and started to visualize what changes we want to make. Craigslist has been a popular site. We are trying to get a free trampoline that someone is giving away because of their strict HOA. Now we just need to give our apartment management a 30 day WRITTEN notice, even though the last day of our contract is November 14.

We cut the boy's hair yesterday in between conference sessions. Our little ragamuffins are no longer shaggy. Even Van got a haircut, his first. We didn't chop off his blonde locks, we just shortened it around the edges and took it off of his ears. He looks a little more grown up now, but his hair is still wild on top. We will post pictures of the haircuts as soon as we get them downloaded.

For those of you wondering, I have not yet cut my hair. I am almost to the short-spikey look that a bazillion of you voted for. I also shaved off the beard a week or so ago but that didn't last very long. I almost immediately started getting skin irritations on my chin, and thus only shaved it with the razor once. Sorry, no pictures. Janna really prefers the beard, so the beard will stay. I think she feels less like she robbed the cradle when I have it.

My youngest brother, Sam, had his 12th birthday on October 6. He was born when I was a Senior in High School. Happy Birthday Buddy.
