Today in WA....

Hey there all... I know I've had lookers since last post, sorry so long ago!
Well, The BIG news is that I'm a homeowner! Well, Dec 1st I'm a homeowner. I bought a cute townhouse. It's in south Everett, 3 miles east is Mill Creek, 3 miles south is Lynnwood. It's in Mukilteo School District... All good things. You can check it out at this site http://www.johnlscott.com/propertydetail.aspx?GroupID=54683596&ListingID=30712444&Sort=1 and I'll post pictures of it with my stuff once I get in. There are 2 large bedrooms upstairs with a bathroom in between; the washer and dryer are up there too. Downstairs there's a bright kitchen that has a little view in to the open dining and living rooms. There's another small bathroom downstairs too. Wood stove in the living room.... and a little storage/crap room off the back. The other awesome thing is that the master bedroom upstairs has a little porch too. I can grow things and get fresh air just a few steps from my bed. Super cool. So that's the big news. Gavin is just growing and growing. He says a few code sounds (words) that help the whole communication bit. He says more and more sounds lately. My favorite word that he says is 'Why'. He says it just like a child should. Not convinced he knows what it means but we love the game. I ask him something... he says why... I answer... he says why... it's make me laugh sometimes the things that he gets me to say. Should I post an example? I'll try to make it PG... sometimes he gets crazy
Mom: Gavin do you want to go on a trip with me?
Gavin: Why?
Mom: Because there are so many places to see
Gavin: Why?
Mom: Because the world is friggin huge
Gavin: Why?
Mom: Because God made it that way
Gavin: Why?
Mom: Because He wanted it that way
Gavin: Why?
Mom: Because you're special (not sure where to have gone with that last question)
Gavin: Why?
Mom: Because you're mine
Gavin: Why?
Mom: Because I made you
Gavin: Why?
Mom: Because I wasn't thinking straight
Gavin: Why?
Mom: Because I was stressed
Gavin: Why?
Mom: Because people aren't always smart
Gavin: Why?
Mom: Because not everyone is like you
Gavin: Why?
Mom: Because they're not lucky
Gavin: Why?
Mom: Because only you have me
Ok seriously he gets some wacky answers from me and just makes me giggle. I don't think this brief example really paints the picture... but it's fun for me. I can say anything and he just smiles and says why as I giggle. Really Really funny stuff. Use your imagination.

SO... I'm packing, doing stuff, making and keeping friends, working hard, getting ready to be VERY house-poor and VERY house-happy.
Pictures and news to come... all is well.
