A couple of updates and one big Bombshell

No updates for a while - because we've been a little preoccupied. BUT - I had to post a few pictures.
Sully started climbing the stairs a few weeks ago without warning.

Sully also received his first real haircut last week. That was traumatic. But I managed not to injure him - even if he did pretty much come away with white-walls.
Here we have the before and after. (Please ignore the disgusting breakfast bib in the first - I figured as long as he needed a bath I could sneak in a haircut.)


But the BIG news is that we put our little house in the Shire up for sale this past week. We've been thinking it over since Sully arrived - and we're finally doing it. We have really loved living here - but I think it's time. The hardest part is facing the neighbors, some of whom I REALLY hate to leave. I don't know what to say. Some of our friends have had a little advanced warning thanks to our kids - but overall I think everyone has been pretty surprised. The next question is - "Where do we go?" Don't know the answer to that yet, but I'm hoping to stay in SoJo. We're looking for more land for our kids and the hyper donkey - and more square footage. And horse property would be a plus for Jessie (can't believe I'm entertaining this idea) just in case we can't just always mooch off my Dad for her 4H stuff.

So - we'll see how it goes.
