The inspector finished the house inspection, and the house has not any major problems. I appreciated the completed report when the inspection was finished. The inspector gave us suggestions about any of the minor issues. The house was built in 2006, and I can tell the first owner preserved the house well. I brought the kids with us, while the inspection was being done. I was thinking that the house inspection would be over quickly, but it took more than 2 hours. Maria and Bianca were never bored, because they kept running and going up the stairs. Here are the photos of the house. ...

Lately, I’ve been so busy with other things, and I have been lazy about updating my blog. I have tons of updates, but they are all in short notes. From October to December 2009, I now have accumulated 22 pending updates; but the other day, I started 3 entries, leaving me with 19 topics to write. So, there will be more updates on the upcoming days. It’s hard to keep up, but I will try my best. Blogging, nowadays, has become completely different than before. My online business keeps me busy, so I don’t have much time to blog hop with my friends. There are only few blogs that I visit occas...

Since I arrived here in 2004, there has been only three times that it has snowed; there is never any accumulation of more than about ½ inch, and the snow always melts very soon afterwards. Anyway, while we were in Virginia for Thanksgiving holiday, I was hoping it would snow, so that my children would be able to see it. Yes, it did snow, but it was not a heavy snow, we had only about 1 inch of snow which melted the same day. When Mar...

I have some good news everyone. Last week, my husband applied for house loan, and on the same day, the loan application was approved. This was necessary to make an offer on a house that we had looked at. Today, the real estate agent called to let us know that the most recent offer has been accepted by the seller. So, after one week of price negotiations, via the real estate agent, between my husband and the seller, there is finally an agreed upon price. Tomorrow there will be a home inspection. The house was built in 2006. It’s a modern house with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 1/2 bath and...

This park is only a mile away from our apartment. It was 40 degrees, but my children didn’t care about the cold. No matter how cold the weather was, Maria and Bianca were really having fun. It was only me there to manage them, and that made it a bit difficult. They kept running from the slides and to the swings, and going back and forth, again and again. ...
