Grama 'Rille!

Alex has a new found obsession with Grandma LaRille. He has always liked her but lately it has been a bit ridiculous. He talks about her all the time. "Grama Rille, Grama Rille, Grama Rille!" is all I hear. If we get in the car to go anywhere, he thinks we are going to her house. If anyone walks in the door or knocks, he thinks it is her. He always asks if Grama Rille is sleeping before he will go to sleep. If the phone rings, it must be Grama Rille. Alex was happy that Grama came up for the easter egg hunt. Alex gets to spend the day with Grama Rille all by himself when we finally get to move. He is very excited or as he says, "I cited!" We love Grandma too and are so glad she takes the time to be his special friend. He enjoys talking with her on the phone and hugging her with sticky hands. I, too, have fond memories of my Grandma LaRille from when I was little. I am so glad I still get to spend so much time with her and share her with my children! Love you Grandma!

Snag

So we were supposed to be moving in this weekend, but, for reasons too complicated for them to explain or me to understand, we are not! For some reason - this has never happened to the builder - the lender wants the bonus room over the garage finished. So this week we (the builder and us) will be busting a move to get the room finished. We are just sheetrocking over the door to the bathroom instead of finishing that now. It would take too much time to get the tub, shower, etc that we want and have them installed. Then when we are ready (after we close) we can cut the hole for the door and work on the bathroom. With a little luck maybe we can move in next weekend. Darn!

This is IT!

We are REALLY close. We had our final inspection yesterday and should be able to close this week and move in this weekend! Keep your fingers crossed. We are so excited. Here is a link to some somewhat recent photos: http://picasaweb.google.com/shawnrnageli/House?feat=directlink
