Kate started walking yesterday! She took about 6 steps yesterday morning. Of course, it happened to be during the 4 hours a week that I am gone for work, but at least Erik got to see it! I did get to see her take some steps when I got home though. I'll try to get a video up once I can catch her on camera.

Off the Market

Well, I guess we just aren't meant to move. We tried for 10 months back in 2007 - 2008 to sell our house - just as the housing market bubble started to burst - and we tried again for 2.5 months this spring with no luck. So, we have officially taken our house off the market for now. With several recent foreclosures in our neighborhood, our house value just keeps dropping further and further. We'll try again when prices are on the upswing, but for now we're still here. We're trying to rearrange our house a little and make some adjustments so that it's more comfortable for our lifestyle since we'll be here for a while longer... hopefully not too many more years. Either way, we're happy to be able to "live" again and not have to keep a perfect house for showings (which I don't recommend doing with 2 kids and a dog, by the way). As for now, we've almost made it through year number 5 in the same house. Definitely a record!

4th of July Weekend

Now, He's a Fish!

What a difference 2 weeks of swim lessons makes! Jackson was in the pool all day Saturday and did not want to get out. As you can tell from this video, he loves his new mask and snorkel, too!
