Bummer!

Bummer...We had a disappointing phone call today :(

The house that we put an offer in on, mind you it was the house that was perfect for our family and it being our first home. It had everything we wanted in it! Anyways... We had put an offer on the home and they accepted it, under the contingency that we sell our condo first though.

Well...we got bumped!!!! Someone else put an offer in on it, we are not sure what their offer was, but they can move in asap, and we can't :( Boo!! So...more house hunting for the Vander Velde Family! It stinks because the next house we buy we are planning on staying in for a long long long time, so we are not just going to settle for something. I HATE THE REAL ESTATE MARKET!... Enough venting about our problem!

We had a good weekend here. It was the annual 'Art Fair on the Square' here this weekend, so David, Gavin, and myself met Mom and Dad VV down there for the day! We saw some really neat stuff! There are some great artists around here!

Here are some pictures of our weekend, they are of Gavin playing on Gammy and Papa's rock pill!

Never Ending!

We have a showing tomorrow from 2-3!! Yippee! Hopefully all goes well with it. David said it was just a realtor coming to look at it. Said they were interested in it. Not sure why? But I could care less who buys this place, just as long as someone does!

It is so fricken HOT out, humid I should say! It is 1:06pm, Gavin is napping, should be up soo though, he has been sleeping since 11:30.

I am on my 5th load of laundry for the day, darks, whites, reds, grays, Gavin's, sheets, towels, it is NEVER ending! I want my own washer and dryer NOW, when we move it is probably going to be my favorite thing! Man I hate running up and down those stairs! Hopefully I won't have to do it much longer!

More later!

Our Week so Far!

Yesturday Gavin and I decided to go to the Zoo! It was alot of fun! Gavin was so good and saw all the Animals, his favorite seemed to be the Bears and Giraffes! It was very busy for a Wed. afternoon. There was the YMCA, La Petite Academy, and about 6 other daycares there all at the same time! We took a carousel ride and played in the park. They also have a new train that goes through the zoo, but it only holds about 20 people at a time, and the line was about a 40 minute wait, too long for Gavin to wait. So we will have to go back next time and ride the train.

Last night David, Gavin, and I went to Concert on the Square! We have been trying to get there for the past month and last night was the first time we could go! It was beautiful out and we had a great time!

This past Tuesday David had his softball game, they won again! 15-0, I believe! Mom VV and I took Gavin, Nolan and Lily to the park while they played their game. David had a home run, a grand slam, and a double (Thats what I heard atleast :))

It is so nice out today, not sure what we have planned to do yet, but tomorrow it is supposed to get into the 90's, so here we come pool!

Have a great Thursday everyone!

Gavin and Nolan

Gavin and I had the pleasure of watching Nolan this afternoon. I have never seen Gavin so gentle, giving, and polite, as he was with Nolan! It was so cute! He also seemed very protected and watched out for him! Nolan even showed Gavin a few tricks :) I think Gavin had a lot of fun. When he woke up from his nap this morning the first thing he said was, "baby nonan, baby nonan?" It was cute, he calls Nolan, Nonan! I thought I would share some pictures I took of them today!

Gavin had another breathing spell today. It started by me not letting him take two unbrellas outside. He got upset and passed out! It is so scary! The scary thing is, is that, I truely do not think he knows that he is doing that to himself. Kristin was here and got to witness it first hand! She was in shock and scared! I think she was suprised that I was calm. I guess I just get used to it, and David tought me that I can't flip out anymore, not good for Gavin or myself. It's something he does and I guess it is common, so for now, we just wait until he grows out of it!

Thats all for now, I just got done watching the Bachelorette! Poor Jason! But...after watching "After the final rose" I can see that they are happy! Anyone who watched the Bachelorette knows what im talking about ;)

Time to crawl into bed with my hubby! Nighty night.

Good Weekend!

We had an eventful and wonderful weekend!

David and his dad started the building the deck! It looks WONDERFUL! We just kinda hung out at Mom and Dad VV's most of the weekend! Friday for the 4th we went to Stoughton fireworks! They were wonderful, probably the best finale I have ever seen! Gavin LOVED the fireworks too! They also had a little petting zoo, so Gavin enjoyed seeing all of the animals!

Saturday Jessie came to visit for the day! It was very nice to see her and hang out, it was low key, very relaxing and needed!

Gavin did alot of swimming this weekend too! He is a fish, and is not affraid of the water at all, even goes underneath a bit, kinda scares me that he loves it so much, swimming lessons here we come!

Tomorrow I get to watch NOLAN for the day! Gavin will really enjoy that I think! Its going to be a nice treat for him!

It is around 6:30pm right now and we just got Gavin out of the Bath, he had taken a little nap (about an hour) all day and woke up at 5:45 screaming his head off! He is getting molars in, he was in alot of pain, and told us exactly where is hurt. He wouldn't stop crying so all that would work was to play in the bath. Now David and Gavin are rockin in the living room watching Franklin! Our favorite!

Here are a few photos of our weekend!
