No House...

So the house didn't work out...super disappointed.
I told Adam that I was going to be bitter for a week or until we found another house that I love, which ever comes first. I really did picture that house as ours, so it's hard to imagine another at this point, but I know I will...it's happened before and, quite possibly, will happen again.

So, on to the next...we're looking at houses tomorrow so maybe we will find our little casa then...that's the hope:)

Atticus Update: 4 months

Atticus had his 4 month appointment on Monday. He's doing great! He weighs 12lb 11oz, and is 24.5" long. He is in the 15th percentile in weight and the 50th percentile in height. He's laughing, rolling over, and sleeping through the night on a regular basis. He turned 4 months on September 13th, and (of course) we took some pictures...

A home for the Towell's?

So, we have been searching searching searching searching to find 'THE home' for us. It seems that the longer we search, the smaller our budget gets. Honestly, I was starting to think that there wasn't actually a house in the great state of Ohio that was in our price range that wasn't covered in mold, in the 'ghetto', or a one bed/ one bath 'cottage'. BUT... last night we found a house that we LOVE. We've seen several homes that were possibilities, but we were very neutral about them. This one we're actually excited about. so, cross your fingers and PRAY that we get this house...we will hopefully find out tonight. And, if it's not 'THE one' we really do know that God is taking care of us!

Birthday 2.8

What a wonderful day!

I started by waking (on a sunny-75 degree day) to my loving husband muttering "happy birthday, baby" in his sleep...then to my baby boy's snuggles. I, then, had an amazing breakfast waiting for me on the stove, courtesy of my Mamma before she was off to a meeting.

After Atticus's (perfect) nap, my sister, Mamma, Atticus and I went to my FAVORITE place, Genji, for lunch. I smothered my food in Yum-Yum sauce, totally disregarding my 'oath' to Weight Watchers.

My mom gave me some 'moolah' so we ran off to steal an hour or so of shopping, in which I found several bargains I'm slightly proud of.

After Adam got home, we went to Easton, where we ate on the patio at the Cheesecake factory and shopped like crazy. Walking hand in hand, the lights hanging over the walkways were almost magical, making us feel like we were in some European city. My patient husband followed me around like it was his job, never saying a word about how badly his feet hurt...until I said I couldn't walk anymore. We both limped (literally) back to the car, then we stopped for ice cream at Greater's. (I ventured out and tried the seasonal Chocolate Coconut Almont...I highly recommend!:))

Coming home to hear my mom talk about what a great time she and Atticus had playing, and how easily he went to sleep was just the perfect ending to the perfect day!!!

Thank you, Lord for another year to live this amazing life you've given me!
