Closed!

Okay we did it...we closed on the new house and now have the old one still on the market. So currently we own 2 houses. I am very nervous about carrying two mortgages. So the goal is to get out of this one and get it ready again to show for whoever is looking for a house. So far no interest really...no offers since October. This time of year is known to be slow and compounded by the market it is really slow. We don't have to start paying the two mortgages until April 1st so I am hoping at that point we either book many new jobs or sell this house...So we appreciate all of the prayer and are just going to see what happens. The house is beautiful and feels right to us. My oldest daughter painted her room tonight. We have a mover coming this Wed to move most of our stuff but will move the rest via UHAUL from storage later in the week. Unpacking will be an ongoing thing..AND we do not have any phone or cable there until March 1s.

The kids are well but we are all exhausted. Matea our almost 3 year old has now really really regressed on her potty training. She was totally trained with the exception of night time. Now she has had an accident at least once a day since we have been gone to Ethiopia. Tonight was the worst where for the first time in a year she had NUMBER 2 in her diaper that was just put on for the evening. Sorry to be so graphic but just trying to SHARE..LOL! Andrew is stressed too. I took him to the new house without all of the kids to do his homework. It is very hectic around here. I also have to have a rule that after 7pm there is no chasing eachother, running etc. But it is a winding down period. It is super hard to pack anything.....and are just continuing to push through even though I have no idea how God is going to resolve all of this but we will see.

In the meantime, the girls are doing very well in school and Jared is getting slightly bored in the house with us . But his behaviour is very good.

So tired....going to bed now...
