Snowy Spring?

The forecast calls for snow for the next 5 days. What's that about? Aren't we supposed to be welcoming the bright new spring season? The good thing is, there's been enough excitement around here that I scarce have time to notice the weather. A week ago Sunday we sold our house, after just three weeks on the market and after one open house. We're selling to a newly single man who seems to be a really nice guy who should fit well in the neighborhood. So on Mar. 29 we'll close first on the sale of this house, then on the purchase of our new house 6 blocks west of here. It's about three times as big, with a little bigger yard and everything. Thrill of thrills, we'll have a dining room! And I'll be able to wash dishes without waking Helena up. Amazing.

Then, just to add to the fun, two of my sisters-in-law had their babies this weekend! Bethany had her son on Sunday afternoon, and then Caity had her son early Monday morning. I was so honored - Caity and Joel let me stay so I could take pictures. What a wonderful experience. At this point, I don't think either Bethany and Matt or Caity and Joel have decided on names for their sons, so don't go out and try to adjust your PDF files yet. Helena is going to have a lot of boy cousins, but I'm confident that she can hold her own...she has enough personality, that's for sure! It was cute to see how she loved her new cousin - "Babeee" - she tried to hold him, gave him kisses. But he's a little too small for her to hold - 5 lbs 11 oz. I believe Bethany and Matt's son was in the 8 lb department. It'll be exciting to see them, maybe at the baby's blessing.

So in a week we'll be in a new house. That is really overwhelming. But I'm grateful because everything worked out perfectly. It was really Providential. Then beyond that, the babies were born healthy and their moms are okay, too. Now my sister Andrea just has to have her baby and we can take a little break, at least until June when Camella's comes.
