A Fun Sunday

Jackson had a great time playing with all of his friends at church.  This was the first time some of them had seen him walking.  He thought he was just as big as the rest of them.

After church, we stopped by Bowman Field, so I could see Jackson with the floats since I missed it yesterday. Unfortunately, they were already taking some of them down.  Jackson was tired too, but it was still fun to see him point to them and say "Look."

Jackson and I took afternoon naps and then went househunting with the Watsons.  Yes, as if we don't have enough going on in our lives-work, class, new baby, holidays, we are looking at houses.  We really want to live in a neighborhood where Jackson will have friends and be able to play outside without all of the traffic. There is a great, quiet neighborhood in the city of Anderson where you can get some great deals on houses.  It is about 30-40 years old. I know that I said that I never wanted to live in an old house again, but we can't afford brand new houses. With the careers we have chosen, those houses will never be in our price range. We really liked the one we looked at it today.  It did need some work but nothing that we couldn't live with until we could afford to fix it.  The kitchen has been updated with new appliances.  The bathrooms are nice.  The bathroom floors are another story. They are in good shape, but absolutely hideous! We are seriously considering putting our house on the market, but we have so much to do-paint, cleaning, fix our kitchen counters, etc.  It seems overwhelming.

Jackson loved looking at the houses.  I guess I should say he loved looking at the houses with the Watson children. He loves older kids, and they are so good with him.  The girls walked everywhere with him. He was exhausted after the hour we spent with them!
