Please Pray!

Well, we did it. We found the house we want. If you want to look it up on the MLS it is 2720397
We actually went in tonight and put an offer in on it. It is currently $12,000 off!!! So, we didn't want to miss that. It is obviously contingent on us selling this house as we couldn't handle two mortgages.

Please pray with us and for us.

1. That our offer is accepted and that no one puts an offer in on it without a contingency as that would beat out our offer

2. Pray that our house sells fast fast fast.....did I mention that we need it to sell quickly?! Also pray that we get an offer that doesn't have a contingency on it.

Calling All Family Members

Well, we are seriously working our family to death! Clarence and Jane (Allen's parents) have been here Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday...then took my kids for me Wed night and Thursday night. Then they came over again on Saturday!!!!!!

My parents came down this weekend to help us with recalking the bathroom and put in the new kitchen counter and sink. Wow, there was tons of work done. We are so very grateful for such wonderful giving, encouraging and talented parents!

My mom undoing the old caulk in the bathroom. She also did running with me and watched the kids. We didn't get much time to talk this time because of all the work they were all doing. Maybe that is why God allowed the counter to be chipped so we had to drive all the way to South County St Louis to get it replaced! So, we did have that time to talk :)

My dad working on the finishing touches to our brand new beautiful sink. I just love it! It looks so good.

Poor Jane! She once again got stuck in the dungeon doing our laundry. She is such a terrific Cinderella! Look at all that laundry :) She also watched the kids while my mom, Hannah and I went to south county. Plus she took them for a walk. My kids are so blessed with the most stupendous grandparents!!!

Dad thinking, "Why do you have so much junk in here." Actually, that is what he said to me. I cleaned it out after that :)

TADA!!!!! It even has the faucet that you grab and it actually is your sprayer as well. Cool! The even cooler part is that I found it at Home Depot on clearance for $25!

Praise the Lord for such a wonderful day! Not only did we get tons done, but it was so nice and finally dry that the kids were able to play outside all afternoon! What a HUGE blessing!

Clarence and Allen worked so hard trying to get our crazy counters figured out. It didn't help that the old countertops were rigged up there. Then that the old plaster walls weren't straight! Made for a lot of customization that these poor guys weren't planning on! But they got it and they look AMAZING. I told Allen that I may want to stay now that all of our project we've wanted to do for four years are finally getting done :)

The kids were so exhausted after all the excitement and fresh air. Hannah passed out on the couch snuggling with my mom and her dog Lucy. Emily was on the other side of my mom passed out on my dad. Too cute. I am grateful that the kids got to have some family time as well.

This is why we can't get projects done with just the two of us. They are so curious, that they have to be underfoot and in your way the whole time. They are so cute though. Emily even has to be touching her dad the whole time he is sanding the countertop trim this afternoon!
