Maddie's new bike, and more

Well, Maddie got her new bike last night. Looks to us like she really likes it too. We didn't find anything we wanted at Shopko or Target, so we ended up at Scheel's. As long as we were there we walked around a little to see everything. It's a pretty cool store, but I think Cabella's has a lot more to look at.
The realtor called me this morning and told me the closing on our house will be the 26th of May. Unfortunately, I was extremely displeased with him. It was agreed upon that we would close the 31st of May, and we need that extra week to get moved (to where, I don't know yet). So I did some checking and found out that if the buyer can only push the closing up if the seller agrees. Last I heard from our realtor they are changing it to the 31st.

I guess it's safe to say that the selling of our house has not been anywhere near a positive experience for us so far. Yesterday it made me think of the movie "Series of Unfortunate Events". Remember the aunt who had a phobia of realtors? I can commiserate with her now.


Other than the real estate drama, our lives have been pretty awesome. Maddie is continuing to improve in school, Ben is done with that "project" that occupied his evenings and weekends, and the baby is growing by the hour, it seems. Sometimes it's hard to believe we have three months left. It doesn't seem like there is that much more room to grow some days. Other days I actually forget I'm pregnant, because I feel so good.
I paged through the baby name book once more this morning. We are really having a tough time agreeing on a name. At this point, we pretty much have nothing. Good thing we still have three months!

Looks like this post is long enough, I'm done.
I hope you all have a wonderful, sunny day!
