Well, our first house officially belongs to someone else. The packers arrived on Tuesday and boxed up all of our stuff. They came back on Wednesday and loaded everything into the two large PODS we had on the driveway. Unfortunately it did not all fit, so the movers took our backyard stuff in their truck to their own storage facility. We moved a bunch of our temporary belongings to Clare’s Sister’s condo in Irvine, where we’re currently camping out. Clare was a super-hero and really cleaned up the old house for the new owners.

We did find a new house, however! We’re currently in Escrow on a place in Aliso Viejo. I’ve uploaded some pictures of the place we bought, as well as some pictures of another house on the same street, with the same layout, that was really nicely decorated for comparison. Our new house backs onto a fairly large street, but it has a really, really big backyard and a view. We’re planning on painting and replacing the floors with hardwood and carpet upstairs before we move in (budget allowing).

Hey, we’ve been busy, give us a break!

A quick rundown of updates… Zoe still has her blue eyes. She’s pulling loves to pull herself up on the edge of the coffee table and shuffle around. Liam turned 4, and is still a very proud big brother. We sold our house, escrow closes on August 3rd. We don’t yet have a new place but have put in an offer on one in Aliso Viejo and are waiting to hear back. It’s a long shot, but either way we’re planning on moving in with Clare’s sister in Irvine after our house closes escrow and while we’re looking for a new place.

We’ll work on putting up some proper posts soon, including new pictures!
