WE ARE ON THE MARKET!!!!!

Don't worry if you don't recognize the woman in the picture, That is just our Realtor, Sandy Orbits. We are really impressed with her, she wasn't satisfied with the initial price that she thought we should sell the house for, so she re-did some numbers after having seen the house. We are right at the top of what I was hoping to get from the house, so that is Great! She was really impressed with all of the updates and remodeling that I have done and said the modernization will really help sell the house. One of these days I will get the pictures up from the bathroom remodel, but I still haven't taken the "after" pictures. For now, I am just happier than a hog in mud that we finally have the house for sale!

Spring means FLOWERS!

We decided to work on our curb appeal, since we are putting the house on the market. The cheapest easiest solution is flowers. We have a local nursery that sets up a flower center in the middle of one of the parking lots down in Waldorf all summer and they have Very in-expensive flowers. They looked really nice once they were all put in. We even had someone riding by, that didn't see us out there, make a comment to his wife about how he "Loves the way this guy does his yard, it always looks so nice." I hollered out thanks, and he almost wrecked his bicycle. When the Realtor came by to do her Market Analysis on the house, her first words were, "You sure do have great curb appeal!" Excellent! That is what we were working for! Anyway, here's the Pictures.

We are still determined to move!

Those of you up north already know about this, but we went for a little "mini-vacation" to look at a few houses up north. I was supposed to be back at work Monday night, however a nice heavy upstate snowstorm blew in Sunday evening and changed that for us. I did enjoy getting my first few snow shovel's full of fresh CLEAN snow. Not like the brown snow we get down here in Maryland. ....And we did find a house!

Zach's Easter Egg Hunt

Zach got his own personal Easter Egg hunt this year. We hid the plastic eggs around the house and he had a grand old time searching for them. He is especially fond of his new best friend Yam, the Lamb. He named it, not us. click here for Photoshow!

Zach the Cat-Catcher

On one of Gretchen's work weekends, Zach and I took a day-trip to Gramma's House in Virginia. He spent most of the time trying to find the cats under the couch, who were trying just as hard not to be found!

TRAPPED!!!

Back in February we got two "snow events" as they like to call them. The first one was actually more of an "ice event", that took down trees all over Maryland. These photos are from the damage caused by the ice storm and us trapped at our home because of a tree across the road with live power lines caught inside of it. I was supposed to go to work that night, but couldn't. They didn't get the tree moved until almost 11:30 at night. I did get to be on the news though! It's true, the camera does add 10, 20 maybe 30 pounds!!!! The last two pictures of the Photoshow are from about two weeks later. It had been 74 degrees the day before and then we wound up with almost six inches of snow!

The Big Helper

Zachary is up to his antics again. This time he went into the kitchen, pulled down the sweeper off the wall somehow and decided to sweep the kitchen. I was wondering why he got so quiet all of a sudden...... Anyway, looks like Misty got in on the action a little too! Photoshow!

I'm Back!

Okay, so it has taken me almost four months to get off my lazy duff and update the blog, but here it goes. I have alot of photoshows to work on and will be adding them all hopefully today. Descriptions will go with each one with, of course the normal clickable photoshow. There has been quite a bit going on, but I will delve into each situation in a seperate blog. Here Goes!
