A New House???

For the past year, Seth and I have been looking  for a home.  After looking at hundreds of homes we have put on offer in on this 2 story brick home on the  upper Northwest side of San Antonio.  We still have to get an inspection and sign many more papers, but if the inspection comes back clean we will be closing on March 23.  The house itself is 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with almost 2,600 sq. feet of living space.  The yard is smaller than I would have liked but most yards in San Antonio reflect this trend.  Also there is an orange tree in the back which was a seller for the kids.  Another nice plus  about the home is we are a block away from a pool, tennis courts, basketball court, and playground.  We hope everything works out as we have been waiting a long time to get into a home.

Palametto State Park

So this actually happened before Christmas but I have gotten a little behind on my blogging. We enjoyed a scenic trip of Texas as we made our way to Palmetto State Park were we picnicked, played, and enjoyed a nice leisurely hike. Kade decided he was done with the hike towards the end. All and all it was a great excursion and we will most likely go back and go camping there since its only about an hour from home.

Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas this year.  We were thinking it might be a meager one because we have been saving for a house, but in the end Grandparents,  Aunts and Uncles spoiled the kiddies.  We began the night before with traditional Christmas eve pajamas and the setting out of the cookies and milk.  (Lofthouse Santas favorite). Then the Kade and Kenzi were off to bed while visions of sugarplums danced in there heads.  The morning brought a tree with presents all around.  A keyboard was found so the family could make music, a projector for art, and a bike for recreation. One and all had a great time opening presents and then afterwards a scrumptious Christmas brunch was made by yours truly.  We had a wonderful Christmas and feel so blessed to have been able to have one.
