Since May 9th....
One: Anne and Jeremy had their baby girl, Margot!
Two: We went to a 8 hour birthing class at the hospital. We felt like we learned a TON and feel more prepared. What's really come out of the class though is that whenever Steph has a contraction, Ben makes all the funny breathing sounds, and Steph starts laughing and is suddenly much more comfortable. This is a pic from a previous class we took on breastfeeding, but is funny.
Three: We bought a house, no big deal. Our friend Wanda kept telling us that her neighbor would be selling her house shortly and we should look at it. Because we had been discouraged with house hunting in general, we kept putting it off (sorry Wanda!) but Steph finally called the woman and asked to see her house. We totally fell in love, but assumed it would be out of our price range because it was so well kept. Ben called the realtor before she had a chance to officially list the house, and the price was music to our ears. So, we quickly put in an offer (and not to mention a heart felt letter handwritten from Steph bascially begging her to sell it to us), and we got the house! Thanks to the help of our amazing realtor, Mark, and our close friend Tim for whipping up contracts, etc lightning fast!
And best part is, we love our neighbhors already, Wanda and Renee, and our good friends Anne and Jeremy and their girls (Margot, Violet, and Piper) live right around the corner.
Four: We settled June 3rd. We are homeowners! So naturally, we started ripping things up.
Five: We went to Michigan to celebrate Steph and Christian's wedding in Holland, MI. We were able to see tons of friends, and also stay with Biz and Zach and meet their newest addition, Charlotte!
Turns out Ben puts cranky babies to sleep instantly.
Ok, five is a lot for one post....more to come.
