Family Update

Today Constance had her 15 month checkup.

I don't have all of the stats with me right now (Mike saved them to his phone, if you come and check this blog- the actual blog, not just this email: thezallers.blogspot.com ) in a few hours, I'll have added the stats to the bottom of the blog page.

Off hand, the only thing I could remember was that she is 20.4 lbs, which is still normal for her age, but on the small normal side.

We went to the beach for the first time this year this week. The water already feels nice, so for those of you that are coming here this summer, you'll like the warm weather. I'm not so sure that I like the warm weather, but it was nice to go out on a mild day that was less than 100 degrees.

Still waiting to hear if our loan was approved for the new house, but we're not too worried about it, everything else seems to be falling into place.

Our friends Matt and Michelle had their third baby today- Maryn Elizabeth. So we'll have another baby just a few months behind theirs! The official due date for us is August 30, but we're not counting our chickens. I'm fully anticipating a September baby, as Constance was due on January 30 and wasn't born til February 10. But I won't complain if it comes on time. We aren't finding out til it's born whether we are having a boy or a girl, since we thought the anticipation (and the wrong guesses) were so fun last time.

Here is our beach picture from this past week. Check back later for Constance's 15 month stats!

A New House!!!

After a lot of deliberation, we decided it was time to look for houses. We really love our downtown life, but we wanted to look around and see what was out there. We have been casually looking for over a year now, but we were surprised that we found a house that was in our favorite neighborhood and within our price range that we could call home for the next few decades.

It's in a little community called Autumn Lake (still in Savannah). The sign entering the community says "Population 216, including dogs and cats". So it's a small community, still being built, but everything looks like Nantucket- kids playing in the street, white picket fences, a community pool, and a small lake that always has geese and ducks in the middle of it.

Our house has 5 bedrooms (so come on and visit us!), and a bonus room, split staircase, a beautiful Charleston style wrap-around porch, and a mosquito netted back porch that overlooks four 100+ year old oak trees.

We close next month on the 11th!!! If you want to see larger versions of the photos, just click on the picture.
