Samuels Mommy: Sold!

Our house sold! YEAH! We are so excited it happened so quickly, lucky us! We have found a house and are waiting for the results of our home inspection...

While I am so excited to have a backyard and more room, today I was very sad. It was beautiful out and we spent the day bike riding and walking our neighborhood. While we have only lived here two years, I personally have lived in North Hoffman since 1st grade. To move away makes me very sad. A new Jewel, new streets/short cuts, new lakes and ponds, new bike trails, new parks, new schools, new neighbors, and last not living close to my mom and dad. Being able to walk around the block to their house has been amazing. Having someone so close to help with Lukas...words cannot describe. But on days like today where it was beautiful out and we just strolled over to say hi...that is what Ill miss the most. But mom map quested it and its only 12 minutes away, that's not too far. And who knows, maybe they'll decide they miss us too and will move closer!

On the Lukas front...

Lukas is babbling like no other and said his first word "dada"... While I am a bit hurt that he exclaimed his dad's name after I carried him for 9 months and was cut open so he could enter this magnificent world, I realize Lukas is so lucky to have an excellent dad like Matt. In other words, fine say dada first. Lukas is learning to wave and give high fives. If you haven't seen him in awhile you will be astonished when you see this smiling burst of energy again. He changes from week to week, it is amazing.
