An Offer We Couldn't Refuse

James naps wearing his "Grandma Loves Me" shirt.
Grandma and James chat about all sorts of exciting things.

     Good news!  Our real estate agent called last night to report that the offer did in fact come in on our house.  It's actually not that bad an offer, all things considered.  We're quite hopeful that this thing all works out.  With that hope in mind, Patrick spent the day packing stuff at our house, and I worked to set up appointments to have the carpet cleaned, the heater serviced, and other things the buyer requested.  We'll see how it goes.
     Patrick also made time to swing by the Trader Joe's and pick up a couple of Tofurkeys before they were all gone.  Now I'm set for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Thank heavens.  I was concerned as they're not that easy to come by, and, according to Walter at the Trader Joe's, there's been a run on Tofurkeys in the past two days.  He's not sure their new order will be enough to feed the growing number of Tofurkey eaters.  So it's a good thing I have mine now.  No worries.
     On a different note, James and I spent some time working on his baby book today.  It's so weird.  Looking back, it's hard to conceive of a life before James was here.  It's only been a month and a half, but it seems like it's a completely different world than it was before he arrived.  I have to say, I prefer this world.  :)

I'll step up to my patriotic duty in this time of tofurkey shortage and force myself to eat real turkey instead.

Good luck on the house sale. It's not a done deal until the closing -- when is that scheduled for?

Nice to see some pics of James with his eyes open! And I thought I was lazy. :-)
