I’m scheduling the home inspection now. I know it needs a lot of work, but I want to make sure the foundation is solid before we sign on the dotted line…

Here are some photos of the foreclosure we made an offer on. They stopped accepting offers yesterday. I don’t know when we might hear something.

As you can see, it needs a LOT of work. No particular order to the photos. I don’t have time to sort them just now. Maybe later…

We took a short stroll then decided to sit and let Haddie play on the playground. An entire playground at her disposal and she wants to sit at the table under the slide. She sure is cute doing it though!

She reads it every morning. We almost always end up talking about the scriptures.
Grandma's Bible Grandpa gave her this Bible in 1965, 46 years ago. I think this is one of her favorite verses! When she finishes reading a book, she writes the date. She's read Luke twice since she began this practice a couple years ago. I'm glad to know that's the date she finished reading the book, and not a prediction! Yes! How awesome to see this underlined in my grandmother's bible?

After the doctor appointments we went to her house for a little more visiting. Here are the pictures.
Haddie is all excited about mac & cheese with a bowl of fruit for breakfast. Digging in. Abigail slept right through breakfast! Grandma! My beautiful bride! At Grandma's house, Abigail rests in her Great Grandma's arms. Haddie listens as Great Grandma gives her writing tips. Gillihan girls!

Or when does a toddler become a little girl? These things seemed to have happened overnight and without my approval. One day she’s a baby, the next thing I know she’s a little girl. I’m loving every minute of it. I realize that time moves on, life on planet earth is fleeting, but I want to savor every moment I can with our beautiful little ones.

Yesterday, Haddie found this hat in a box of toys and ‘fun’ clothes. She put it on and it was so cute I just had to take a couple pictures.

I was trying to take pictures of Haddie, but in this shot it looks like I was doing a photo shoot for the hat!

Our cute little girl.

A little overexposed, but I like the effect. Isn't she adorable?
