Sunny and 75 anyone?

hello everyone, man, this weather is just freakin amazing! We've been playing outside, and we had our first skinned knees of the year today. Mabri loves playing outside, and usually throws a fit whenever we come inside. She is learning lots of new words, like "nana" for banana, night night, uh oh, and love you. She is comprehending more of what we say to her, like "go get your cup" or "where is your blankie?" and she launches an all out search for them. She's getting more and more feisty, and sometimes throws a fit when something that she shouldn't have is taken from her. Yes, I know, it's hard to imagine, our perfect child, throwing a fit about anything, but it's true.
Ok, now Brooke here. Brian got it started for me. Well, update on the house. We are in contract, but are still waiting to have several documents signed by the same bank dude so that we can get on with it and set a closing date. We have extended our closing date to no later than May 6th, Lord willing, but that is not set, that is a hope. Let me just say that no matter who you buy a house from, it is not simple, but we certainly were not expecting to have to jump thru as many hoops as we have, but knowing it is worth it, we continue to act like the trained monkeys we are and jump. It's so long and complicated, there is no way we will ever publish the saga here, but if you really want to hear all about it, give one of us a call. Sorry for the news. We had really hoped to be able to tell you all that we have the keys, etc. on this update, but maybe on the next one.
Alright, time for pictures.
