This new bathroom rocks!

Not only do Mom and Dad love the extra space in the new house, Cole is loving it as well! We had a relatively uneventful move (thank you Karla!) over the weekend, and Cole's first night in the house he slept over 12 hours...which we were thankful for!

Here are a few pictures of Cole enjoying the new master bathroom. He's never had this much room before...exploring the bathtub, toilet, etc. Also included are pictures of his first "bubble bath"...you will see from the pictures he tried to EAT the bubbles. YUMMY!

The last swim on Caroline Lane...

We are having a lot of "lasts" here on Caroline Lane. The movers are coming on Friday to pack us up and move us out of our first home. We've been a bit more emotional than we would have expected thinking about all the things that have happened at 508 W Caroline Lane.

1) We got engaged here...in our master bedroom - December 2005
2) We had 75 of our closest friends & family here to celebrate before our wedding - April 2006
3) I sprained my foot 2 days before our wedding in our pool (great story!) - April 2006
4) We made Cole here (too much information??) - January 2007
5) We brought Cole home here...to his room, in his first house - November 2007
6) Cole took his first steps here - Still waiting...child, you have 5 days to accomplish this!!

Regardless, it is time to move on. In honor of our last weekend in the house, we had the final

swim in our pool. While it's still at least 100 degrees here, those that don't live in Arizona are always surprised that this time of year your pool just gets too chilly to be in. We braved one final chilly water Sunday for old time sake.

We also decided to feed Cole dinner outside tonight. He was so distracted by everything happening outside, but manged to eat all his green beans. The kid LOVES green beans! We aren't complaining! :)

I suppose you know you have packed too many of your child's toys when you walk in and find this. He really was this surprised when I walked in and caught him making this mess. Tearing up tissue kept him as quiet and content as could be!

Here today...gone tomorrow (well, September 29th actually)!

I don't have any pictures to post, but wanted to at least update the blog sometime in September 2008!

We've been busy at the Blubaum House! On September 5th we put our house on the market. We were in no rush to move, but the way the housing market is here we figured we should get the process started as it was going to take several months.

To our surprise we had a lot of showings of the house within the first 24 hours and amazingly an actual offer came during that 24 hour period as well! We accepted the full price offer and are scheduled to close on September 29th.

Now...where do we go? We are on the hunt for a rental house and have found some great prospects. We're not able to sign a lease until we know our house is truly going to close, which won't be until just a few days before the 29th. This means we could be homeless for a few days. So if you see us come knocking on your door with the baby in tow, please answer...

For now we are buried in boxes, tape and Goodwill piles. Imagine all this while chasing around a 10 month old who is getting ready to walk. No doubt we will age 10 years by the time September 29th comes around.

More to come soon...!
