6/27/07



Just a random picture from our play time this morning. He is getting more fun by the day. I discovered he now loves it when I play the guitar for him. I normally wait until he naps to practice or I would play but he wouldn't pay attention, but this morning he thought it was fantastic. What a kind critic.

In other unimpressive news, Jason comes home tonight from his business trip! He's only been gone for a little bit but it feels like an eternity.
Oh, and we are moving yet again. We decided to not renew the lease on our house (for just so many reasons). We considered buying but the real estate market out here is scary right now, and while we think we will be here at least another 2 years that's still not long enough to recover closing cost, commissions, etc. Most houses in Pittsburgh have appreciated less than 3% a year during the housing boom where other areas (like back East) were seeing increase of 15%+. Not sure why I'm rambling on about this. Anyway, not being satisified with the houses available for rent we decided to go back to apartment living. We found an apartment community that is just our speed. While we aren't really excited about the work of moving we are very excited about the place.

Oh what a cutie in his (is that a jumperoo)?! I didn't know you were playing the guitar- that is very cool. Nice critics they are... you'll always be their # 1 most favorite interactive toy!

When are you guys moving?

It is indeed a jumperoo. He doesn't quite get the jumping part yet but does enjoy playing with the toys.

Yeah, I decided to pick the guitar back up after a nine year hiatus. I'm thinking about taking lessons again - I'm a little discouraged by how much I forgot.

We are going to start moving into the new place 8/5 but don't have to be out of our current place until 8/31. This gives us lots of time to get set up, which should make things easier with Vin.

Any word on your moving situation??

Love your updates, Di. Keep 'em coming. So proud of Vin holding his own in the Nursery AND of you brave parents in leaving him :) I know how tough it is that first time, but it's soooo good for you all, and you are to be commended. Bravo!!!!

Always in our prayers & close in our hearts,
Momma & Pa Gums
