Levi's Turns 1!!!

Levi turned 1 year old on August 24th! He had a big party so lots of friends and family came to see him. He had a great time hanging out with friends, opening presents and eating birthday cake.

House Update

We don't know the closing date yet of our house, but it should be soon (we are hoping next week sometime). We were supposed to do the inspection last night, but that got canceled because of some work that still needed to be done. I was really hoping and praying that there wouldn't be too many setbacks. Oh well! We are doing the last inspection on Monday and the appraisal is already done. We should be able to know right away next week when the closing date will be! We are very thankful for this house that God has provided for us!

Dipnetting

A group of friends and John and I went dipnetting a couple of weeks ago. We spent the night on the beach Friday night and then woke up early Saturday morning to start fishing. We, as a group, caught a total of 50 fish. We split this between 5 couples so each couple got 10 fish. The guys and girls took turns fishing and gutting. We had fun for about the first 3 hours and then we realized we were not going to warm up and the sun was not going to come out. We fished about 9 hours and that was plenty!

Levi has started enjoying another food-watermelon! He absolutely loves it, but we have to watch him when he eats it because he likes to take bite after bite without swallowing any of them. :) Levi is also saying "cat" and "mmm"(after he takes a bite). It is so fun to watch him grow into such a little boy! He loves to laugh, play with other kids, and be very active! He is now starting to walk along raised, hard (tables, chairs, etc.) surfaces to get to the places he wants.

our soon-to-be house

Well, it has happened, we have agreed to purchase a home. We haven't signed the official documents yet but we are in contract to buy a cute little ranch style house. It has 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, fireplace, 9000 sf yard, 1 level. It doesn't need too much work so we can move in right away-God knew what we needed! It is perfect for us and we are very excited to move in and finally get settled. We are hoping to close by the middle to end of August!
