Halloween

Sammy had a fun time Trick-or-Treating tonight. He was all dressed-up as an alligator/Krokodil. His costume was popular in the neighborhood and he got a respectable pumpkin-bucket full to bring home to his family!



These are our pumpkins:
"Tigger" (from Winnie the Pooh), "Ernie" (from Sesame Street) & "Dog" (from..you know, dogs)

Schnuller Fee

The Schnuller Fairy came Friday night and took Sam's schnuller (binky) and in exchange Sam got a Pooh and a Tigger. He's excited to play with these new friends and can be seen here reading them a bedtime story,

Slide

We got a new slide for the kids that has been a hit so far. Emma REALLY loves climbing!

Zoo Trip

We signed up for our first family zoo membership today. Needless to say, Sam and Emma had a very nice time!

Accepted.

The people at Wells Fargo have decided our offer/counter-counteroffer is acceptable and so we have entered into phase two. Here's a sneak preview video. We'll start doing inspections on Monday.

Developing News

We heard today that the bank has accepted our offer for this house (see below!). There's a lot to do yet with inspections, etc., but definitely a major step forward. Anyway, it's exciting to think about. If we end up in this place we'll have plenty of room for everyone to come and visit!
