News Update
What a crazy couple of weeks! As you can no doubt guess from my news last week, we're scrambling to get things in order. We've put our house on the market, so most of my spare time has been spent either preparing our home for prospective buyers or searching for a new home with my wife. It's not the best time to sell, but it's a good time to buy, so we're feeling perhaps less nervous than we were a few months ago. Also, most of the work is done on our place, so we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. As is probably obvious, our home search has taken on a new sense of urgency - our little two bedroom townhouse is tight with three boys; I can't imagine packing a fourth child into the mix.
More updates of course as we get them - we do want to find out the gender, since at this point its less a novelty for us and more a question of how much stuff we'll need to buy. A girl would be completely new territory for us. Please, if you would, pray that our house search goes well, that our current place sells in a timely manner, and that the pregnancy continues to be smooth.
"...our little two bedroom townhouse is tight with three boys; I can't imagine packing a fourth child into the mix."
wow... We're in a 3 BR townhouse with one boy, and a girl on the way, and it feels tight.
Maybe we're fine where we are... Thanks for the inspiration! :)

Arizona's nice this time of year...and you can buy a mansion for $3 and bucket of chicken.
Good luck to you and I will pray.
Posted by chris on March 28, 2008 07:52 PMcurtis - we've actually been looking at three and four bedroom places. There's no way we can afford a five bedroom home in the Philly suburbs - it just isn't going to happen. But I think it's a good exercise in trimming the fat. Part of the move involves going through our stuff and decluttering - we're donating a lot of things and throwing out others. We're trying hard to get around the need for a big home as a place to store our stuff. Then again, the game shelf keeps growing, so I'm not going to be too self-congratulatory or anything. ;)
chris - We broke out Black Ops last weekend. It was fraught with awesome. I want to get in another game or two and then I'll have a full writeup. ;) Thanks for the thoughts and prayers!
