For Sale!

Our house is officially for sale! This is a very exciting and scary time for us. Let me start by saying that we LOVE our house! It makes me nervous to know that people are going to walk through my home and possibly not love it like I do. Taking care of this home has been my "job" for the last 5 and 1/2 years (and obviously caring for the kids) but they notion of people not thinking I have done a good job is horrifying to me. I realize it ridiculous but it's how I feel. With that said here is a tour of our home. We hope to find an old picture of the house in which there is not a mountain of snow in front. We are on 1/2 acre (.49 to be exact) and the house is a little over 1600 sq. ft. We have 4 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths.
Living room
Living room 2
Kitchen (with new countertops, sink, faucet, and stove)
Breakfast area
Dining room
Master bedroom
Guest bedroom
samuel's room
Avery's room
Any takers??? It is listed at 129,900.

The best family present EVER!

Uncle Ryan and Auntie Jen are officially the Christmas heros. Ryan apparently stalked Best Buy until they finally sold him a highly sought after Wii system for the Carriers of Central New York. Here we are after opening our prized gift but as you can probably tell Mom and Dad are very happy and the kids....not so much. After a couple more days of Christmas mayhem we plugged her in to Grandpa's TV. The adults were first to try it out. Here's Gavin playing golf.

Gavin's sister Aimee joined in to play some bowling. She was quite good but we found out that she had the upper hand by taking bowling in college.
The kids soon decided to give this Christmas present a try. Avery is now an expert bowler and tennis player.
Samuel is also great at bowling and is a boxing champ.
Speaking of boxing champs....I also have a crown in that department (or is it a really big belt?). Gavin and I played for the first time together the other night and I knocked him out not one but two times. He has practiced a lot since then so I refuse to play him so I can hold on to my undefeated status.
This has, by far, been the most used Christmas present in our house. We all love it. In fact, today after church Samuel wanted everyone to go home so we could all bowl together instead of going out to lunch. Kuddos to you Uncle Ryan and Auntie Jen!!!
