Under Contract!

After many months of weekends filled with house hunting, offers, and counteroffers, we are finally under contract!  We found a home that is perfect for us, and we are crossing our fingers that the escrow process continues to go smoothly. The main downside about the house is that it is a short sale, so we won't let our selves truly celebrate its awesomeness until we close the deal and move in. Until then, we will just keep crossing our fingers!

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday started out with Easter baskets and an egg hunt. I guess the Easter Bunny knows that our family tries to limit excessive amounts of sugar, so our baskets were filled mostly with small toys and the like. Can you tell whose is whose?

After the morning festivities, the girls got dressed up and requested braided hair. I will have to limit their time spent on Pinterest.

Then we finished up the afternoon at Blake's house where we enjoyed a great dinner and spent time with cousins and family. The kids had a blast digging for worms, hula-hooping, and enjoying some great pre-summer weather.

The Circus!

Heading out for an evening surprise . . .

Mom and I decided to take the kids to the circus during spring break. I told the kids I had a surprise for them about 24 hours before the show. They had no idea where we were going until we got there.

The show was great, and the girls loved it! I was a bit disappointed that there weren't any trapeze artists flying through the air, but there were plenty of other exciting stunts and tricks to watch.
