Time with Grandma and Nick!

The past few weeks have been very busy for us and we're thankful to family and friends for helping out with the kids. The first big change was Eric deciding to join a new real estate firm a little over a week ago. He joined the MN Real Estate Team and that group has been the number one team in MN since 2006 so needless to say he is happy with the switch. The group, unlike Keller Williams, provides leads for their agents and Eric has been very busy since day one with all of the leads and already is working with serious buyers. The switch has been great for him and the perfect rejuvination to the start of spring.

With the switch it has meant that his schedule has been getting busier and busier and thus juggling staying home with the kids and being a full time realtor is getting trickier. Thankfully I'm in my down season and my work hours are a lot less but even with that we have been needing more help and our thankful to our families for helping out!

On top of this we found out that after months on the market our house is getting close to closing with a projected date of the end of this month or early April. We were really excited to hear this but then it also meant we needed to find a new place and fast! Last weekend we went and looked at some properties and decided to rent for awhile to help save up cash and allow us more time to find the perfect property. The house we have chosen is great and located in Apple Valley. I'll do another post on it but we are excited for the change and to be closer to family and friends...even if does mean moving further away from our awesome babysitters and friends Molly & Jess.

So instead of relaxing awhile we'll be busy packing and getting ready for our next adventure and moving in 2 weeks. Eeek!!

This past week my mom came up to help watch the kids while I worked during the day and finished my senior swimmers/diver scrapbooks at night and allowed for Eric to do a lot of showings. It also gave us a chance to go out and celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary! Here are some pictures she took of the kids and there movie night with Uncle Nick.
