The leaves are falling...

So another month has gone by. Miles is two months old already, and Guinevere is 17 months. Miles had his two month check-up yesterday. He weighed in at 15 lbs 5.6 oz and he is 25.25" long! The nurse remeasured him twice, she didn't believe the over 25" measurement. I'm guessing she doesn't see two month olds that big very often! But he's staying on his curve, which is what the doctors like to see, and besides, he's perfect in every other way :-) Unfortunately, both Miles and Gwen have had colds this week. Gwen got her cold first, and then it eventually passed on to the little guy. Neither of them have been worse for wear though - which I'm very thankful for. It is still hard to watch though.

On the house front.... well... as most of you might have heard, the previous owners for our current house were denied the short-sale, so that means they can't sale it to us and the bank will more than likely foreclose on the property. But we're done with this place. We've learned in the 13 months that we've lived here that it is just a money pit and we're lucky to get out while we still have a chance. That being said, we did look at many other houses and found one that is in GREAT shape; that we can move in to and relax whenever the kids are napping and be constantly thinking of the next project we have to do to improve the house! Our closing date, as of right now, is set for November 20th. Although, the current owners have not found a place to live yet, so we've agreed to let them live there for up to 60 days past closing. We'll be lucky if we get in there by Christmas - so that definitely means we won't be traveling for Christmas or the New Year. I think the only thing we're going to miss is the current neighborhood that we live in and our neighbors. I can only hope that our new neighbors are just as nice and maybe on the younger side with kids.

Once again, I'm unable to post pictures. I need to find the cord for the camera to upload the most recent ones. Once I find that, which might take a while since we've been packing like crazy, then I'll post a few of the kiddos and of the house.
