Smiles and Big Changes

Baby Salem has been smiling up a storm.  He is even starting to laugh some.  He is the cutest thing ever. Salem has also become enthralled with his feet. He cranes his little neck just to see them kicking. Although we are still dealing with the acid reflux, it is manageable. We'll just be so glad when he is through with it. Salem is giving us a lot more sleep lately. He goes down at 11pm and stays asleep till around 6am.  We are so blessed!
O.K. Big news: we are moving!!! Tim is being transferred for work to our home away from home.  We're thrilled and nervous at the same time.  It will be a big change for all of us.  After looking for short sales or foreclosures and not finding anything that would work for us, we decided to build a home.  The builder we're using has come down on prices significantly and we were able to negotiate a pretty good deal. They just released a new area of lots, so we had our pick.  We chose a lot one house over from a nature trail and one row back from a beautiful lake & park.  The house will take about 7 months to build.  We're putting our house on the market next week after the final paper work is done on the new house.  It should be very interesting trying to show a house with 2 little ones.  It should also be very interesting coordinating storage units for a house and a condo( we're renting it out) while we're waiting on our house to be built.  The next 7 months are going to be wild!
Please pray for me, Avery starts preschool next week. I will not cry, I will not cry....

Here's our lot (in the rain).  You can sort of see the lake in the background just past the white house.  The nature trail is lined by the trees on left. We will have an expensive lake view...until the owners of the lot behind ours builds :).
