Silas is Two!

Hey all! We had a birthday party today for Silas' 2cd birthday. I made 7 pizzas, we bought a cake, and had a lot of Silas' friends (and some of ours, too) over. We had great time, and the weather was absolutely perfect. Silas had a lot of fun, especially after he got to eat some cake. There were three of his friends that came over that are right around his age, and they played and played and played. He got some cool presents, although he only really opened one of them before he was off running around again. That's the problem with having cake before presents. 

Everything with the house is going good. We're still trying to get unpacked, but a majority of the house is coming together. The garage is a disaster, but most of it is stuff that we'll sell when we have a garage sale in a few weeks. School's going well, only 3 weeks left now until summer break. I was hoping to take a couple of summer classes, but the only classes I need are only offered during the day so I'm unable to take any of them. Kind of sucks, but I also really want to have the summer free.

Anyways, I hope everyone's doing well, here are some pictures!



He had already grabbed the cake once, so while we sang "Happy Birthday" to him I had to hold his arms down, hence the dis-satisfied look on his face.





From left to right is Jack, Silas, and Uly. That's the box our lawnmower came in. They loved playing in it.

New House!

Hi all,

No pictures yet, but we closed on our house yesterday, and got the keys today. It's finally over...almost. We're moving tomorrow, so we still have a bit of stress that comes with that; but at least we don't have to worry about whether we're actually getting it anymore. Our total mortgage payments are lower than what we've been paying for rent, which is really awesome.

I'll post some pictures once we get all set up, but it might not be until next week before I get a chance to. Too much homework that I've got to focus on this week. Now that we've got the house, if people come for Thanksgiving at Mel's house we'll have a little bit of extra room to put some people up.

Hope everyone is doing good!
