Oh yeah, Ohio...

So I haven't done a post about our move.  It wasn't a move accross town, but a move accross the US!  WE moved from Madison, WI to Mason OH...only 2 letters were removed.  We have been very busy since our move as we have found a house, and are in contract!  We are closing on our new house on April 29th.  Backing up, we've been living in a very expensive furnished apartment, and though it has been nice, we're ready to move on!

Living on the contents of what will fit in 2 vehicles can prove difficult, expecially when most of what we packed was kid related.  It will be nice to get our 2 pods of stuff back when move into our new house.  We've been enjoying the goslings that have hatched recently, and I'm pretty obsessed with taking pictures of all 10 of them!  (2 families worth)

We've been taking care of all that Mason has to offer and have been to 2 easter egg hunts, and many adventures so far!

The process of closing on our house has been a challenge. It seems everything moves in slow motion.  With how expensive our current place is, every day counts, so of course it seems like the process is taunting us.  It does seem that we will be able to close when we want, and everything is going to work out in the end.

Our house is everything we could have hoped for!  4 bedrooms, and very large!  Plenty of room for our crazy family, and any visitors we can manage to convince to make the trip will be welcome!  Our house in Madison is still for sale, so if you know anyone looking, let them know about our house!  It will be nice to get that sold and not carry 2 mortgages!  Gabe has decided to make his room nature themed, so we're having fun with that.  He is currently taking pictures of what he calls nature to put into a photo collage.  Jason is enjoying his job, and is taking the bus daily from Mason to Cincinnati.  He likes the time he has to read, and how much it's saving him in gas $! We have enjoyed using Skype to chat with family. Gabe enjoys it the most! Oliver has learned to stand, and can do 5 seconds not holding onto anything!

Gabe has a loose tooth and turns 6 on April 28. Jason is graduating from college on May 7th at Upper Iowa University, so we'll be making the drive to cheer him on as he gets his well deserved diploma!  We're very proud!  I think that gets everyone up to date at this time!  Oh yeah, and I've been doing couponing as a hobby!  Value Hawk!
