Home Sweet Home

     The Kanes have finally made a decision and found a home!!! We are super excited that we have (hopefully) found our forever house and can't wait to move in.....BUT (as I said in my last house posting, there's always a but) we probably won't get to move in until the end of May or beginning of June.  My wonderful friend Danielle asked her next door neighbors (who have started the process of building a new house) if they were interested in showing their house before Christmas.  Originally, I think they said no, but something changed their mind.  Chris and I went to the house a few days before Christmas and fell in love with it!  It was the first house we have walked into and could see ourselves living in.  The house is absolutely gorgeous and the basement and backyard are more than we could have ever dreamed of.  I tell everyone that the basement on this house is 100 times better than any of the new construction homes we were originally looking to build. This house was also a considerable amount less than the one we were looking to build so we were beyond excited to move forward!  To make a long story short, Danielle's neighbors were excited to sell the house, but decided to wait until the end of the school year to make the transition on their daughter less traumatic.  I am sure they were also some what in the same boat as we were when someone made an offer on our house....not really expecting it and in shock that things moved so quickly.  As a result my parents are graciously allowing us to move in with them for the two months or so that we have nowhere to live (can I add they are allowing us to move in WITH the dogs! :).  Things will be tight at mom and dad's, but I can't thank them enough for helping us during this transitional time.  When we signed the agreement on our house March 15 seemed like so far away....now we are being forced to think about packing our entire house and putting it in storage. :(  As I have told many people moving from one house to the other would have just been too easy.  He has to sometimes throw us a few curve balls and test the waters. :)  Although we will be invading mom and dad's space it will be so nice to have adults to communicate with during baseball season (since I completely lose my husband :) and Baby E will arrive during the second month...keeping C and I very entertained as we spend pretty much every day after school with Aunt Chrissie and E! :)  Aunt Chrissie has also offered to make her home our second home and share temporary custody of our puppies....giving Nana and Pop a break from them a few afternoons a week.  We are so very excited to know where we are going, even it means cramping everyone's style for a few short months. :)
