Well, our friends Chris and Melissa are officially first-time homeowners! I watched their boys Corban and Carson during the closing on Friday.
Mara and Corban were napping in Mara’s room when Chris and Melissa got back.
Mara stood up in her crib and with intense enthusiasm asked, “Uncle ‘Dis, did you buy a house?!?! And did Melissa buy a house?!?!?!”
Chris laughed. “Yes, we did!”
Mara went running to the top of the stairs and, peering down the steps, she paused in anticipation, as if she fully expected to see the house down there.
Then in a hushed voice, she asked, “Where’s the house?”
I guess she thought buying a house was like buying groceries. You bring it in and set it next to the coffee table! LOL!
I explained to her that it was down the street, and we would go see it sometime.
So when Daniel came home, she said, “Daddy! ‘Dis and Melissa bought a house! And it’s down the street!”
We’re all excited about it! Congratulations, Chris and Melissa!
