Isaac 12 Month Picture

Where I left off on my blog-the day Isaac turned 1, Tuesday June 9th, 2015 we had just had our very first showing on our home. It was slightly chaotic- having to straighten the house up and remove the normal "Schwedskala Birthday" streamers and balloons, but we bought a new house and really wanted to sell our old house. So we took the birthday celebrations and grandma to Buffalo Wild Wings. That night we got the feedback on the showing, expecting a "looks nice, but pass". Instead the potential buyers said, "Interior- Average, floor plan- average, pricing- above market value, Buyers will put in an offer on Wednesday". When our relator sent a text that said, "feedback doesn't get much better than that" I knew it was real. We accepted their offer on Thursday and sold our house!

The month of May/beginning of June was physically filled with getting our house ready to sell and emotionally negotiating the purchase of a new home. The rest of June/July was filled with physically moving and emotionally the negotiation of the sale of our old home. Thankfully the emotional/really stressful parts seem to be over, but the physical unpacking will be going on all of August (please let us finish this year). Our garage is full of boxes and we really need to unpack.

But in the midst of everything I did finally remember to take Isaac's 12 month picture at the new house (a couple weeks late, but he wasn't 13 months... yet). Stoic baby boy is done with the month stickers and immediately removed it from his onsie.

 

We did finally get Isaac to smile, thanks to Eli, who makes an appearance in a tickle picture below.
