i used to think having a baby in my lap made it hard to type. now, thank goodness, i have a baby in my lap helping me type.

we're supposed to close on a house today, but the bastard broker is lazy and irresponsible, and charges too much. of course we have our reasons for not being able to go to someone else--about the time we realized this guy was worthless, the people we're buying the house from decided they wanted to split up, and the guy didn't want to sell his house anymore. he said he'd sell it, as long as we closed on time, which wasn't possible if we'd've stopped to shop around, and we really wanted this little house.
we were hoping to find hardwood floors under the carpet yesterday in the walk thru, but it looks like there used to be stickdown tile on top of some particle board, and there's probably hardwood under that, but they might have glued it down to the original floor. maybe just nailed it, we'll have to see what happens when we tear it all up.


we had a good time in eastland over the holiday, met rockin' (rykin) michaela, jaxon's younger cousin who outweighs him by about 7 pounds. i can't believe it, jax is starting to crawl, they called it the army crawl, it's really cute and slow. if he stays at this speed forever it'll be okay, he's already gotten into a few things going at about 18 inches a minute :) well, not forever, but at least until we can get things mostly unpacked and the house semi baby proof...
