Reporting in from Troy
Time to think ... let alone time to write ... what a rare treat.
It's been a tough semester, but I turned in my final grades on Monday, finished my administrative duties for the year today, and I've even finished Christmas shopping except for Amanda and maybe something more for Mikey.
So what else has happened in the last month-and-a-half since my last post? Well, let's see....
We sold our condo -- quite a feat in this market.
Shortly after buying a new house, in Troy. We love it. Finally, enough room. And the amount we made getting a deal on the house was almost exactly what we lost on the condo. In this market, I'll take break-even any day of the week. Even is just fine.
And there was much packing, and moving, and unpacking.
Mikey turned four months, and then five months old. He's well over 20 pounds now, already. We're thinking offensive line. His daycare sitter says his football nickname will be "The Barge." He's starting to eat solid food now. Padlock your cupboards.
We're looking forward to relaxing over Christmas break. We're perpetually exhausted. Note the short sentences. Ah, parenthood .... :)
