House Hunting Continues

The Little Presidents did so well last night. Pierce woke up at 5:45 and I fed him. Shortly thereafter, Knox started kicking his legs so I woke him and fed him. They both were placed back in their cribs and we were able to get about another hour of sleep!!!

We had a fun morning laying in bed with the LPs. Prior to bringing them in to cuddle, we listened and watched the monitor. The nuggets were talking and giggling together. It was the sweetest sound!!! 

Fam Bam!

Selfie with Sweet P!

P money!

We got ready, fed the boys and loaded up for a day of house hunting. We drove out to some areas that we liked and then stumbled upon some open houses in Carillon in Southlake. We walked into a model that far exceeds our budget but wanted to check it out anyway. It was a blessing in disguise. 

Have to have this fan!

And fireplace 

Amazing vanity in the master bath (minus the sconces)

And this "air" tub! No bacteria from jets! Must have for my inner germaphobia!

Doesn't even begin to show how huge this closet is. Oh, and there's a hidden tornado closet tucked in here. 

We ended up meeting the builder of this house, Jon Atwood and we gave him our budget. He said he could work with us on a custom home! Hallelujah! I feel my prayers being answered. Thanks be to God!

He was the nicest guy. He doesn't seem like he's out to get us or all of our money. We will be involved in every decision. Down to where plugs go and light fixtures. He encouraged me to look at Pinterest ( on it!) and an app called "Houzz". He wants me to bring all my ideas so we can figure out a way to make it all work with our allotted price. I am beyond stoked!

We continued to drive around, this time mostly looking for land to build on. Jon is doing this for us as well. We found a few plots we are inquiring about and hoping and praying one of them works out!

The LPs did great. We were out ALL day. From 10:30-6:30. We got them out to feed and play but for the most part, they were in their carseats a majority of the day. Poor guys. 

We went to Gloria's to eat a snack - their shrimp cocktail was calling my name- but mostly to feed the LPs and to let then stretch and play a little. 

2 little men and their mommy!

LPs!

We looked at a few more places before we lost all our daylight and then headed home. 

It's amazing how quickly the day went. When we got home, P lost it. We tried to do some tummy time and play with them but the boys weren't having it. So we fed then and put them to bed. They both laid in their cribs for a good 20 minutes before shutting their beautiful blue eyes and drifting off to dreamland. 

Speaking of beautiful blue eyes! These are untouched - their true eye color! Knox on left, Pierce on the right. 

Nick and I decided to have wine and cheese night. While I picked things up and got comfy, Nick got everything ready. 

Another Saturday that's gone way too fast!
