Now the fun begins....!

Well, we finally closed on the new house! A major ordeal getting the funding secured given the climate the last couple of weeks, but after some blood, sweat, and tears, we finally signed all 100 pages last Friday. Now we will take the next two weeks to begin to get ourselves moved into our new little piece of Peace....

more later,

Joe

Ben's first Haircut

Wish us luck!

Well, if all goes as planned, we will close on our new house the firstof October.... we've been ready for some time to move to a bigger place, and now seems like a good time... a great location with a wonderful view... the perfect fixer-upper!

Picket Fence Preview -- Real Estate for Sale by Owner
Secluded on dead end road yet convenient to Montpelier/I-89 (5 miles). Raised ranch with plenty of room: 4-5 BR, 3 1/2 baths, living room with large fireplace, greenhouse, 2 car garage/barn with storage space, play house in orchard, garden, and pool with patio & views. 3.6 acres of land but feels like a kingdom. Renovations needed and left to new owners discretion: solar/wind, small farm, or divide into duplex for income.

Long haired hippy kids...

I promised the grandmas that I'd post some pictures of Ben before we cut his hair. He just had his second birthday, and soon it will be time to haul him in for shearing! Also in this pic are some friends Keegan and Kaileigh, all playing in the kayak.

Goose Egg

oTis falls alot. Not his fault, and as he is getting older and pushing himself more, he takes tumbles. Like this morning, off the last step of the deck, right into the corner of the picnic table. Ouch. He's a pretty tough cookie though, and he doesn't let it keep him down. one tough boy.
