CONGRATULATIONS TO RAYMEY!!!!!!

At 7am this morning we found out that RAYMEY PASSED THE OHIO BAR!!!!!! I knew he would, but you can't help but have the tiny gnawing doubt at the back of your mind, "what if....?" At the firm where he works there was a starting associate last year who didn't pass the bar, and had to retake it in the winter. We were just hoping that would not happen to us! He should be sworn in as an attorney sometime in the next couple of weeks. Please tell Raymey how wonderful he is! He's earned it:)
Other recent news: We closed on our house last Friday. We moved in on Saturday and have spent most waking hours scrubbing, wiping, steaming carpets, and unpacking. It is a lovely house, and really comfortable! On the way home from chuch last Sunday we had to drop by our old apartment for a couple of odds and ends. Madeline recognized where we were headed, and started to say, "NO! Not the tiny house, let's go to the new house!!!" It really upset her when we went there anyway, and for a while she refused to come in. Now it has become a good threat. "We have to take care of our house and keep it clean or else we have to move back to the tiny house..." Ahhh, it is great to be a parent and finally get to torture my own kid:)
Also, we found out a couple of weeks ago that we are having a BOY! I need to be a better blogger and post these things when they happen, but things have been a little crazy. We need to upload ultrasound pics, take house pics, and a halloween pic, but we just haven't gotten there. My "free" time is going to unpacking right now. OK, well I have done my blogging duty! Happy Halloween!

Our internet connection is so bad that I can't get videos longer than 10 seconds to upload directly to our blog. I had to do the smilebox thing again. It is so much easier that way, but the pics and video are lower quality. Oh well, you get the idea! (The last 3 are videos and take a bit to load, but they're of Madeline singing and telling about ABC sounds!)

As I sat here talking to myself trying to update our background Madeline just announced, "OUR BLOG IS NOW A BLOG!!!" and she was really happy. Neither of us have any idea what that means, but it is truly exciting.
