Summer 2012

I'm sorry I've been such a bad blogger.  We've had a busy summer but I feel like there hasn't really been anything really blog-worthy.  For memory-sake, here's what we've been up to this summer.

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings have been spent at the Y just like the school year.  I have been co-leading the 3 year old preschool camp. It's been a HOT summer so it's not always been very pleasurable to be outside, but luckily the Y has many activities scheduled for us inside.  The pool helps of course. :)  The boys are still going to childcare at the Y while I teach and they have been enjoying their pool times and games as well.

Tuesday and Thursdays we've been for running errands, having play dates, and going to the pool. We have made many trips to the library as well and finished our summer reading programs.  The boys each earned two new books through the program, which was fun.

The weekends have been jammed back I feel like.  We have made several trips to Rocky Mount to work on our house.  One weekend was just cleaning and yard work, while weekend 2 was to paint all the bedrooms. Luckily all our hard work paid off and we are finally under contract!! The showings had been slow coming so we were getting nervous. We got one low-ball offer and could never reach an agreement, but the following week we had another couple come in with one.  They are giving us our asking price; we just have to pay their closing cost! We are so excited about this and are now just praying that the inspection and appraisal go well.  The expected closing date is not until September 15th (due to the loan), but we are hopeful that we will soon be done with this house.  We have never been more excited to NOT be homeowners!

Speaking of buying/selling houses, my parents are now under contract for a condo here on Lake Norman.  They have always wanted a lake house and now with both of their children here in Charlotte, they thought it would be a great place to have one.  The condo will be great for weekend visits, summer weeks, and hopefully as a retirement home. We look forward to seeing them more!

At nights, Jeremy and I have been working on random craft projects. TV in the summer kind of stinks so it's been a good excuse to turn it off and get some stuff done. Jeremy is building Owen and Oliver a train table and I've been doing some sewing and playing with my Silhouette. (Note to self: Do a post on craft projects).

So that's it...that's been our summer.  Low key but busy at the same time.
