Postponed

Well, we were all set to close on our new house today, but something came up. The appraiser thought the value of the home was a little less than were offered and the bank decided not to notice that until Wed. So the sellers had to quickly lower the price for us and we signed some more paperwork. Now, the papers have to be sent back through the bank, mortgage insurance, etc. so there is no way to close today. All we know is hopefully sometime next week. We already have the utilities switched, moving trucks lined up, mail forwarded, etc. Somebody did not do their job, because if they had seen this 2 weeks ago when the appraisal was done, we could still close today. Oh well!
Eliza is doing so much now. She will be 6 months old Sunday. I am feeding her a little. She can sit up by herself and moves around really well, but is not quite crawling yet. Miriam and Lily both seem to have shot up lately. They are both so tall and skinny. I am so looking forward to seeing them run around our 2.5acres this summer, climbing in the apple trees, and helping in the garden. Whoever wants to come visit after we move is welcome. I really love the place!
