Some of you knew this and some of you may not have known this: we were in New England from the 6th thru the 13th. The main purpose of the trip was to try and find a house up in Maine for when we move there in October. Well, we did find a house and have a contract on it. We’ve been making fast and furious phone calls since last week because the closing is scheduled for the middle of June.
June will be a very busy month for us. We are in the process of packing up our stuff so that we can be ready for the movers to move our stuff on June 9th to Belmont, NY. Shortly after that, we will be closing on our house in Wellsville and then closing on the house in Maine. We’re not sure how it will all settle out, but either Steve is going to Maine alone or neither of us are going up for that closing and we’ll do it via fax and FedEx.
Quincy did really well on the trip. We spent Monday and Tuesday looking at houses, but had already found the one we wanted by the end of the day Monday. Wednesday was Quincy’s worst day which, coincidentally, was the day we were trying to negociate the offer on the new house. So, that was a very stressful day since we had not planned on owning an unoccupied property in another state for four months before we move into it. We are very pleased with how everything is going and look forward to the move in the Fall.
There was a luncheon for us at BIMA (Bangor Internal Medical Associates) on Thursday. We got to see a lot of the people we had met back in October when Dara interviewed for the position. It was a nice visit, and Quincy got to be passed around a bit too. Now Quincy is home again and settling into his new routine. Some things have changed while we were away:
- Quincy crawls like a pro
- Quincy eats real, solid food (some types)
- Quincy says ma-ma a lot
- Quincy pulls up on everything
- Quincy naps less often but longer
It’s like he became a totally different guy over night! It will be interesting watching him at home now due to the fact that we have tons of boxes and just stuff everywhere right now. I almost forgot that today is Quincy’s 9-month birthday as well. Wow. Where does the time go? He has a routine doctor’s appointment this coming Wednesday. I’m not sure what will take place there, but there are no shots at this visit. After this visit, there will be one more at 12 months and then we’ll need a new doctor for him up in Maine.
I think that wraps up the new stuff that has been going on. I will be sure to keep updates posted not only on Quincy, but on the moves/houses as well. Cherrio! (he loves those)
