I found Tooth #7
Tooth #7 is just about ready to break through the surface. No wonder she's been chewing on her fingers, burp cloths and everything else the last couple of days.

Snow!
It's April 5th and what's it doing outside? SNOWING! We've got quite the covering already on the grass and vehicles.
What a spring break we're starting to have!

House Hunting
We spent a good portion of Saturday afternoon while Brennan was at a birthday party and the girls were at the sitters checking out houses in the area.
We've been looking at listings for the last 3 months or so. Most of the houses in our area are much smaller than what we need. We've got a large family that needs lots of room.
The first house we looked at was really nice, but no basement and thus really no storage to think of. It was electrical issues as well that would have to be fixed. The backyard was decent sized and the bedrooms were nice and big.
The second house was HUGE, but needed a decent amount of work done to it. It had a great entry way with 2 different sets of stairs to get to the second floor. The attic was completely remodeled, but the stairs were super steep and that freaked me out quite a bit. The bedrooms were rather small too. The basement was disgusting.
The third house is very nice. Large backyard with multiple decks. A fenced in pool with deck around it that has been maintained. What could be 5 bedrooms and it's close to the middle school where Jadyn will be for the next 4 years. 2.75 bathrooms is always a great thing and the basement makes for a great play room & rec room with plenty of storage.
I looked around more today for other houses in the area. There just isn't much out there for our family size that doesn't cost an absolute fortune.

We're Approved!
Kolin and I got the call we've been waiting all week for. We've been approved to buy our first house!
We're so excited and can't wait to go house hunting tomorrow afternoon. We've been checking out different listings and putting together our must have list....we must have 4 bedrooms, storage and enough room that the 7 of us won't be stepping on each other just trying to get from room to room.

No glasses.....yet
Brennan did really well at his eye appt. He was so incredibly nervous though and almost started crying a couple of times. He did great though and answered all the questions the dr. had for him.
At some point the dr. is certain that he'll need glasses, but for now we're just going to take the wait and see approach. Unless his kindergarten teacher says anything or we noticed something, Brennan doesn't have to go back until the summer before 1st grade. =)

Will they pop them out?
Brennan reminded me this morning that he has had his 3 kindergarten shots and that he doesn't need anymore.
He then reminded me that he has to go to the eye doctor and the dentist. I told him he'd see the dentist in July and would see the eye doctor tomorrow morning.
Brennan: What is the eye doctor going to do?
Me: He is going to look at your eyes.
Brennan: Is he going to take my eye out?
Me: No, they are just going to look at your eyes with some different lights.
Brennan: Are you SURE he won't pop out my eyeballs?
Me: Yes Brennan, I'm sure
