The deed is done - we are property owners again

Well, actually we are property debtors again. Our closing went well. After we had the keys, I took the kids out to see inside the house and buildings. When we got out of the van, the boys headed to the trees out front and Anna headed toward the house. The boys didn't resurface until they had checked out a lot of the trees. Quite cute. We picniced for lunch and dinner at the new place on Monday. We tried to go back yesterday, but it was too windy. Mark, of course, started working on the house Monday night. There is a lot of work to do, but I think it will be pretty decent once it's all done. The wind out here is unreal. I don't know how any settlers survived the winters back in the day. Wow. I can handle the snow, but the wind may be too much. If I get computer time later today, I'll post updated stats from Sarah's & Jonah's well kid checkups. It was an interesting doctor visit, complete with fainting and all.
