Our New Home

In our last post we were sooo busy listing all of this boy's six month stats that we failed to mention the two razor sharp teeth that accompanied his 6 month birthday! He seems to have cut them without too much turmoil, and he is completely convinced that he is now ready to eat anything and everything...go ahead, try to eat food in front of him without sharing...

Last weekend Jaime and Tad came to Tyler for a quick visit and Benjamin had is first official Christmas. We all had a blast and this boy REALLY got into the presents (his first basketball goal and a crawl and learn ball)...now we are VERY anxious for Christmas next week! We even ventured to the mall on Saturday and Benjamin sat in Santa's lap...no crying, no smiling...he just pulled Santa's beard...glad Santa didn't scream!!

In the last couple of weeks we began looking at houses in town again. On Monday morning I was driving by two houses (one recommended by MawMaw and one we found online over the weekend) to see if they were worth scheduling a showing when I came across this house...I went home and googled the address...AMAZING pictures...but we've been there, done that. So, I called the realtor and scheduled to see all three houses. The first two were the same as so many...if only we had $50-100K for renovations they would've been great...but the last one....well, we're closing on December 31st...Thank you, Lord! In God's perfect timing, an answer to so many prayers.

Our new address as of January 1, 2009: 1400 Kensington Tyler, TX 75703
