12 Days of Closing and Other Stuff...

Today is March 18. Closing date is March 30. That's 12 days to go. We are praying that the buyer's loan goes through and everything goes okay.

Miranda came through her wisdom teeth removal well. She is eating normally again and thankful to be on this side of the surgery. She has been working at a dentist office a couple of hours each day, and it was handy to have the dentist there be able to peek in her mouth a couple of times when she was concerned.

As you saw in our last post, we had a birthday boy here yesterday. Grandpa Gary and Grandma Mary came through on their way to Illinois and were able to celebrate with us. Tonight, Luke has five friends over to continue the celebration! Cooper, Conner, Braden, Brecken and Beau, along with Reed all played football and basketball before eating burgers that Mark grilled. Then Luke's ideal birthday cake--a pyramid of glazed doughnuts!

Tomorrow morning, after the boys go home, Luke's best cousin Clint is coming from Ohio to stay overnight and go with us to Bluffton for church on Sunday. James and Susan are going to be at Julie and Jarin's and we will be with all of them on Sunday evening.

And Yeah! Good News! Jarin and Julie are expecting a baby! We are so excited for them. It is going to be fun to have a baby on the Maibach side again!
