    Went to Fairyland. A first for all of us

  • Atwater CA

    Update!!! Kim and Nathan's offer on a house in Merced was accepted. It took a week of back and forth but finally an agreement was reached. The closing is scheduled for Oct. 17. So now comes the fun part, packing.

    It is a really nice house, 1 acre, 5 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms on the ground floor (including Master) a very nice kitchen with 6 burner gas stove and built in refrig, lots of storage and mature trees. Plus some space in the back of the yard to add more fruit trees. It is in a very quiet neighborhood in Merced. This is the area they spend most of their time and where both of the boys attend school.

    If you are bored and want to make a trip out to help to move, give me a call!!!

    Luckily they don't have to sell the current house immediately so can do the move a bit easier. The third grandkid is due Nov. 12 so hoping to get most done prior to that date. Of course the baby may have a different opinion.

    We have been busy. The closing on the house in Merced is still on for Oct. 17. We hope to be mostly moved over before Halloween. Started work on the house in Atwater and even have a fair amount packed up.

    I have been doing some teaching for Red Cross and now back as a full time grandma. I have greatly enjoyed watching Elliott at soccer and Dylan at swim. Next week Dylan starts socccer since outdoor pools are getting too cold for swim lessons.

    Kim is doing well but she is starting to slow up quite a bit. Only a month left on the incubation of the next kid.

    All moved in and only a few boxes left. Brian arrived Saturday and Sunday took apart trampoline before movers came and then followed them over to new home and built a gate in fence so can get Dylan to preschool easily. House behind is Kim's friend and the daycare. So now the boys have easy
    access to friends.

    Sharing a popsicle with Dylan.
