First of all, Jason and I are under contract for a house! We found this house on our first time out looking and while we loved it, we thought we'd go out and look at a few more places before deciding whether or not to put it on an offer. But then another offer was put in a day later, so we decided to just throw our hats in the ring with 1 solid offer and see what happened. And it was accepted! It has happened so fast that it really honestly doesn't even seem real to me yet at this point! Our closing is planned for August 12th, and then the fun of being homeowners begins! Here's a picture:
Next, a quick father's day recap. We enjoyed a nice laid-back Father's Day at home, featuring chocolate and butterscotch chip pancakes made with love by Miri's mommy for Miri's daddy. We gave Jason his gifts, including the T-shirt that Miri made for Jason at school and which he wore with great pride all day, despite the fact that it was about 4 sizes too big. Later in the day, we went over to my parents, and I got to spend father's day with my own dad too. We had a delicious dinner and lots of fun just being together.
Last weekend, Miri and I took J on a belated Father's Day surprise outing. Jason has been really excited about it finally being summertime, aka "Farmer's Market season," so we surprised him with a visit to Madison for the Dane Co. Farmer's Market, which is the largest producer-only farmer's market in the U.S. of A. It is pretty awesome. We picked up our typical must-haves (spicy cheese bread, cheese curds) and also got some fresh sugar-snap peas and homemade whole wheat tortillas. Yummo! We hung out on the Capitol lawn, walked around downtown Madison, and finished up the day with lunch at one of our favorite Madison restaurants, the Great Dane.
After the trip to Madison on Saturday, Jason and I took Miriam to her first Strawberry Festival in Cedarburg on Sunday. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and we had a great time eating good food, listening to a band, and basking in the probably 10 million compliments that Miri got. Sometimes it is hard not to have a big head about the fact that my daughter is the cutest baby girl in the world.
I'm looking forward to this holiday weekend because although I have to work all day on the 4th (BOO!), the rest of the weekend should be a blast. Aunt Mary is in town from Ohio, Adam, Rochelle, and Kaden are in from Minnesota, and the weather is supposed to be beautiful. Yay! Happy birthday America!
