Home Inspection

We just got our home inspection done....

The inspector said that everything looked good... There were a few things that need to be fixed. Hopefully it will not be like pulling teeth to get the seller to agree to some fixes...

Now, all we have to wait for is getting the appraisal done! We are getting really excited. Etsuko already has paint picked out for the living room, kitchen, Jacob's room, and our bedroom. Now all we have to do is get some more furniture. Of course I need to buy a BBQ.... Everything else seem to be doing just fine.... We just want to get out of this apartment.

Coast

Today, we all went to the coast.....

On Saturday my cousin got married. They had a beautiful wedding. A lot of my extended family was in Oregon for the celebration. We all enjoyed Easter together. It was really nice. Yes! we had fun with the Wii!!!

Today at the coast, it was beautiful. The sun was shinning all day, which is a rarity this time of the year in Oregon. Jacob had a great time. This was the first time he really got to enjoy the coast. The other times he was just a small little baby.

Here are some pictures of our trip.

Home

We finally found a home!!!!!!!!!

We have been looking/getting everything in order for the last 6 months. It is a cute little home. It is about 1200 square foot, 3 bedrooms and two baths, and a two car garage. The only thing I dislike about it is that I will have to put in a fence. I will also have to do a little landscaping. All in all, we are really excited to get into a home.

The next step is getting to closing. The home is vacant, so the move in date should be really soon (like 30 days).

Here is are some picture of the home.

Wii

Guess What!!!!!!!!

Yep, you guys guessed it...... I got an Wii. I saw that Target had the Wii on ad, so I got down there around 8:30 and bought one. I have been playing it all weekend long. Etsuko is starting to get better at bowling. I am trying to get her into golf so we can buy a new game......

We also went house shopping.... We looked at about 8 different homes. We really only liked 2 of the 8. Etsuko really liked one house. It was pretty nice, but I still want to look at others.

We should be finalizing our pre-approval pretty soon. We will then be able to start putting in offers. I guess we could still be putting in offers now, but I think we have more power if we get pre-approved. Etsuko can't wait!!!!!!

I'm Back!!!

Hey guys and gals,

I feel bad that I haven't updated this blog for a while. The family has been sick for the last two weeks. I am just getting over a week long cold. Last week we decided to get serious about getting a home. Today we took that first step! We got pre-approved. We want to start looking this weekend. Etsuko is excited about looking at homes (we have been looking on the net for a long time). I am getting really excited but I am also getting a little nervous. We still need to find a Realtor, and that is turning out to be a long process.

Jacob is doing great. He is really starting to be interactive. It is almost like a switch turned on. With that, his temper has really started to come out. We believe that he is going to have a bad case of the terrible two's. Thats ok!

Etsuko has been real involved in the mom's club. This month she went to the OSU farm. I am really happy that she is getting involved with other mothers. Jacob loves visiting other children his age.


Here is a picture of Jacob at the farm



Here is a video of Jacob and Mom playing. Jacob is raising his hand in acknowledgment of his name. If you listen closely, you will hear Dexster howling in the background.



We still have not gotten the Wii. I think I am just going to give up....... Sorry for the late post again.
