The Most Amazing Thing...

Isn't he? I mean, come on.

Part of this blog is my search for words to describe how much I love this little guy. So far, they just don't exist. But I'll keep trying.

It's been a big week. The top two pictures are from last Tuesday when Max tried cereal for the first time. You might not be able to see the goo all over his face, but it's there. Despite the big grin, the jury is still out. We haven't tried again, since Max has had an ear infection, and is Not in the Mood-to do much of anything, let alone try new things. Though, he's been better today.

And....(drumroll please)...we're buying a house! It needs a good bit of (mostly) cosmetic work, and we are probably crazy, but also very excited. We weren't *really* looking for a house...I emphasize really because Clint is always looking for houses (or, rather, investments)-even if just for fun. This time he happened to find one we could kinda afford at a time when it's almost feasible for us to move. We should close sometime this week (much thanks to Mimi, Judy for help with the down payment!!). You, my dear readers, should probably question our ability to raise a child in light of such Obvious insanity. You'll see what I mean when Clint creates a blog about the house. You can check back on the right side of this blog-I will post the link to the blog for Casa de Jurek as soon as it exists.

But really, the most amazing thing is how blessed we are. We have a beautiful, happy, & healthy child, good jobs, an incredible community of friends and family (who have always been there, despite whether we always count them in our blessings), and now, a house.
