Spring Photos

Tuesday was such a beautiful day, that after picking up Tate from school (this is Jason, by the way), stopping by Wendy's to pick up a Frosty (chocolate, of course), and going to the Bessemer Airport to watch plans take off and land (all while eating said Frosty), we decided to go home and play outside. With Tate looking as cute as ever, I had to grab the camera for some photo opps...

Seems like Tate's legs get longer and longer... and her face, cuter and cuter!

She enjoyed looking through the holes in the fence...

Too precious to pass up on this one...

She enjoyed the dogs running up and down the hill behind our house...

Just thought I'd share a few photos of Tate that I thought were too good not to share! Thanks for letting a dad rave about his family for a bit!

We're "Under Contract"

Hey, Jason here. That's right, I'm actually posting a blog... Can't help it - too excited.

I just wanted to get on here and spin a bit of good news in light of this "dreary" economy. Diana & I are happy to announce that as of May 27th, we will be the proud owners (okay, "co-owners" - thanks to Wells Fargo Home Mortgage) of the beautiful home you see above! Last weekend we were fortunate enough to receive an offer that was in the general vicinity of our asking price so we countered, and they accepted our counter! Most of you already knew that we had a contingency contract on the home above, and to make matters more interesting, the owners of that home also received a non-contingent offer the same weekend we did, but did a great job of stalling for us to see how ours turned out. As the Good Lord would have it, things turned out extremely well. So here we are, a little over a week later, and all inspections have been performed and the mortgage applications sent in and signed. We are officially "Under Contract", and everything looks great on both sides of the table in terms of seeing this thing through to the closing.

Instead of writing out everything about our soon-to-be new home, just take a look for yourself. Diana & I hope you like it, and if you don't... we don't care, we're moving into it anyway - we're really going to need the room with daughter #2 coming in August! If you are good, we may even invite you over for dinner sometime! (But you have to help us move in first) :-)
