Found a house!

We found a really great house in Pacific, MO. It wasn't even one of the houses on my list, but we knew when we saw it that it was just right. The only drawback is that it's a little further away from work and church than we were hoping to be--butthe houses that were closer and in our price range were just too small, or in need of major repairs. This house, though, has 4 bedrooms, a huge yard, a 2 car garage, and is only nine years old. The roof was is very good shape. The basement was beautifully finished, and it has main floor laundry and a much bigger kitchen. Also a screened porch, and a walk-out basement with patio. Perfect. We're really excited.
Yesterday morning I had fun watching Emily and Ginny before school. Ginny was sitting in Emily's lap, and they were laughing and giggling as Emily sang little songs and rhymes to her as she bounced her on her knee. Very satisfying.
Last night we put up christmas decorations for our first christmas family home evening of the year. We read a christmas story, sang carols, and decorated the tree. we put up some of our decorations, but not very many since we are moving. Still, the kids were excited to see the christmas things up. It really is a magical time of year.
At work, Trevor's co-workers gave him a going away party yesterday. He was quite touched. They had pizza and cake for lunch, and gave him a gift of a swiss pocket knife with flash drive attached. He thought that was really cool.
I guess that's it!
Both home inspections are tomorrow. I hope they'll go smoothly.
