life in a nutshell

So much going on I dont know where to start... well first I suppose is that Wyatt and I just got home from a visit to Fresno on Tuesday. We flew down the previous week and then rode back with my parents. It was a LONG trip as usual but my dad drove most of it and my mom entertained Wyatt. He barely cried and was pretty darn happy have his grandma at his beck and call. We celebrated my grandma's 82nd birthday and even got to see my great aunt Margaret who flew out from Baltimore for the big event. Unfortunately Aunt Margaret fell and broke her knee cap on her 2nd or 3rd day here. She just had surgery Wednesday and is now having some uneven heart beats and low blood pressure issues. The doctors are also concerned about blood clotting. All in all, it was really nice to get to see everyone. Felt like I actually got to spend some substantial time with all the important people in my life :)

So I get home Tuesday and then get and email from the Property Management company who manages our house that they are raising our rent. I was already going to let them know that we would need a drop in our rent if they wanted to keep us on as tenants so although I did let them know this, we think we will need to move when the lease is up next month. So we started house hunting... The first house we looked at was built in the 1800's and was pretty cool if it was anywhere livable. It was 2 like 2 minutes from my sister and on a beautiful piece of property. Yesterday evening we took a drive to 'Summit' which is about 1/2 hour west of Corvallis and about 35 minutes from my sister. The house was very basic (much smaller than what we have now) but brand spankin new (and on 2 beautiful acres). Anyways we are #2 on the list so who knows at this point.. We are going to keep looking this weekend..

So our little Wyatt finally started getting a tooth (bottom one) last week right before our flight down to Fresno and just a couple days ago started getting his 2 top ones. It looks like they are all coming up at the same time! Poor kid. He is still sleeping great and in a pretty darn good mood. He is going to look so different now with teeth.

Well I better go.. I wanted to go check out the new 1-2 year old 'Wobbler' story time at our library so need to get myself off of the computer...

Here is a link to pictures from our trip:
