Well, it’s t-minus one day until our box filled apartment becomes a box filled house. Actually, more precisely, it’s two days until movers come and pick up our boxes and move them to our new home. Tomorrow at 10 AM we close on the house. Let me re-write that: at about 10AM tomorrow we WILL OWN A HOUSE! OMG, this is f’n awesome!
Hayes is going to be so excited! He’ll have room to roam. A playroom. A quiet environment. No neighbors directly touching our place. A yard. A YARD!
Bye bye, city! Hello… another city… and a HOUSE!

Congrats! Tomorrow will be a splendid day, for sure.
Don’t forget to bring your phot ID’s with you, and proof of homeowners insurance (assuming your lender will require this in MA).
Again, Congrats!

Congratulations! It’s an awesome feeling, I know. The biggest adjustment will be not being able to call the apartment people when something needs fixing!
Good luck with the move!

I knew move day was coming! I’m so excited for your family. It is going to be a BIG change. Just be sure to have sleeping & nighttime stuff handy (so they don’t get lost in boxes). Let us know when you expect to be back up online too….pictures!

Hey, it should be done by now, right? Woohoo! Congrats, house owners.
And also fabulous to hear about the word explosion - this is the really fun part! Once he gets the hang of it there’ll be new words all time. Write them down for as long as you can then give up when there are new ones every ten minutes . . . Then switch to writing down funny phrases!

Congratulations on the house! I’m very happy for you. Hope the commute isn’t too long for work - but even if it is, it’s still worth it to have such a beautiful home. BTW - it does look exactly like your parents place. I guess we always gravitate to the comfy stuff of our childhood. I’ve actually been to design psychology lectures about architects recreating the layouts of childhood comfort places when they design their own homes (although usually it is in a somewhat abstracted manner). Anyways…congrats!
