Playing catch up

Yikes, has it really been more than three weeks since we made a post? Ooooops...

We have been REALLY busy this month! The first week in August, I went to California for a business trip, then spent a couple extra days with Paul and Angela. The second week in August, the entire Kinsella family went to Lake George for a family reunion. And then, the third week in August, Tim went to California.

On top of all of that, we are both still building the house (which is coming along great) AND selling our current house. In fact, we put our house on the market last Friday. We had one person look on Friday night and another come on Saturday. On Sunday, we had an offer!! The only problem with the offer was that it was below our asking price and that the buyer wanted us to move out on October 30 (when our new house probably won't be done until December). So we made two counteroffers - one was meeting the seller halfway, price-wise, and we would move out early. The second counteroffer was that we would take his asking price, but get to stay in the house until our new house is ready. The buyer took the first offer, which we were okay with. That was, until today when we heard that he might have changed his mind and take the second offer instead. So we are still in a state of flux, but either way it looks like the house is SOLD!! It went so quickly and so well - on the market for less than 48 hours - and we feel really lucky. The best part is that we don't have to keep the house "open house" clean any more!!

Plus, on top of all of that... Cam has been amazingly cute lately. It is ridiculous, the things he says and does and thinks of. Here are a couple Cam Cutes:

1) After I was gone for a few days in CA, then Tim was gone in CA, Cam was a little bit disconcerted about all the airplane travel. On Sunday night, Tim was rocking with Cam before bed. Cam turned to Tim and said very seriously, "No airplane Dada... please, no airplane." He just kept repeating it again and again. Well, Tim's heart just about broke as he reassured Cam that he wasn't going on an airplane, Mama wasn't going on an airplane, no one was going anywhere on an airplane. Poor sweet boy... I guess we need to be more cognizant of our travel now that Cam knows what is going on!!

2) Last night we were eating dinner over at Nana and Papa's. Matt was over too, telling us about his trip to Disneyworld. We had pizza for dinner, which Cam loves but always destroys before he eats it. He was working on eating it and making a mess of it, and while doing that he pulled the cheese off. All of a sudden, he put the cheese into the bowl of his hand, and used the other hand to touch the cheese with two fingers. We had no idea what he was doing. He turned to Papa and said. "Turtle, Papa, pet turtle" - so the cheese in his hand was a turtle shell and he was petting his turtle. What a sweet, imaginative boy!!

We will hopefully have lots of picture posts soon, include Kristin's trip to CA, our week in Lake George, and some cool house pictures. Plus, I am sure we will get some great pictures this weekend when the Borsts come up for the weekend to go to the Fair.
