A new face, a new home

Well, the Lord blessed us.

On Saturday we went looking for homes, again. The first one was it. We went directly from the house to the agent's office to put a bid/contract on it. We saw it at 2pm and at 10:30 that night we had received a counter offer and accepted, signed and emailed the contract!! Here's a pic of it from the real estate site. It backs up to a park, and is within 2 blocks of the high school. (Currently Jordan and Casey go to another one, but Jordan wants to transfer to this one as it's closer and he has 2 friends from church at it. Casey does NOT want to transfer - so she'll have to learn to drive!)

Casey went to homecoming! Kelly and I did her hair and makeup in 30 minutes! You can't see the poofiness in the back, but it was way cute. Isn't she a cutie! Jordan saw her and said, "You look like a different person." Casey was feeling like a doll, and very uncomfortable at that point. I had to remind her that he didn't say it was bad, just different! LOL

We had Casey set up her camera so we could get these shots. (She has a super way-complicated camera that is NOT click and shoot!) As she had no pockets on her dress she promptly stored the lens cap in the bosom of her dress. Later, we couldn't find the lens cap. As we were searching around the table Casey, with both hands, pulled out the front of her dress and looked down. Mark about choked. "Don't ever do that when Josh is around!!!!!" Then he couldn't stop laughing.

This is Casey and her boyfriend, Josh. Check out the bandaids on her left knee. Kelly made her put those on. She said "Scratched up knees are so eight-year-old." I love having Kelly around. She can fuss at Casey (like not wearing high tops with her dress, or the fact that she has to do her hair for homecoming, or that makeup is necessary, or that a bulky brown purse does NOT go with her outfit) and Casey takes it without comment! Oh, everyone needs an Aunt Kelly!
