YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UNDER CONTRACT!

With the chance of jinxing us I am going to finally make this post. I am also making this post to ask that everyone please please continue to saw prayers with us. This whole process is the doings of GOD and his awesomeness!! Please continue to ask that the process will continue to be smooth and with NO kinks.


We put the house up on the market around the middle of September. Aubrey called me on Thursday September, 24 to tell me that we had a young couple coming to look at the house on Saturday at 2:30. Saturday came the house showed and then it was just a waiting game. Sunday morning we walk into church and Mike tells me that the house showed great and that the couple wanted to go home and talk about it and they would be getting back in touch with Lisa to talk about putting a contract on it. I was in total shock at this point. After church we had deiced to go to the store and get hotdogs to grill before going to Madelyn's game . One the way to the store Mike called to say that we had the same couple coming back at 1:30 to look at it again. So we rushed home picked up and made sure it was presentable. At the end of Madelyn's game Aubrey got a call the there had been a contract placed on our house.


We went to ride 4-wheelers and dirt bike's at Mike's the rest of the afternoon so Aubrey just meet us down there. The offer was great and we agreed to the contract. We are now just waiting for the rest of the process to happen. We are so anxious.


Today I got this email from Aubrey titled " Doesn't this look pretty!" It SO does!!! Just wanted to share this wonderful picture with everyone!!

Our Very Own SNAGGLE TOOTH!!!

Sometime back B was complaining with a tooth hurting and Adam and I were like great a 5 year old with a tooth ache. Then it dawned on both of us that he was old enough to have a loose tooth. Sure enough it was loose.

This weekend it became much looser and I knew it would not make it though the week. Monday B must have sat with his finger in his mouth all day and worked it. When he came home Monday and showed me how loose it was I just asked him to wait till his Daddy got home. A few minutes later we were sitting on the couch together and he jumped with a bloody mouth and yelled" IT JUST FELL OUT!!!" He was jumping up and down and shaking and screaming and doing this goofy giggle that I have never heard before, Adam walked in the door 1 minute to late. He continued his goofy laugh and jumping for several minutes. He was so excited. I have never seen a kid so excited about loosing a tooth.

Striaght from Brady!

In the last week Adam and I have had two of the sweetest conversations that a parent could ever have with a child and I just wanted to write them down a) to have later to look back on and b) to share with everyone.

Last week we were in the car driving past the park and something sparked in B's little mind about his past turtle Wally. He asked if Wally was in heaven. I said "yes". I know some people might think this is silly and that I have just told my child a fib, but the bible tells us that every animal will be represented. Then he said " I want to see him" I said " we will all see him one day when we get to Heaven" He said " Can you take me with you" I said " where?" thinking I had missed something and not quite ready for his response , he said " to HEAVEN!" I said " of course I am taking you with me. You know one way to make sure that you get into Heaven?" He asked " how?" and Adam and I talked with him for several minutes about asking Christ into his heart and what it meant to do this. It is such a wonderful feeling to know that your child WANTS to hear God's word and that we have the freedom to tell him ALL about it!!!

For this next story go ahead and grab a tissue.........

Last night Adam and I were standing in the kitchen talking about our days and laughing at the fact that later in the evening we were going to get to play "Toothfairy" ( blog to follow). I was preparing something to take to our Ladies Ministry Meeting and Adam told B to go and get shoes on that they were going to be leaving for Uncle Matt's shortly. He came flying through the kitchen with a jingle in his pocket ( when I got him from my mom that afternoon she mention that she thought he had taken some money out of his piggy bank and taken it to school). I stopped him and told him that I thought he had taken money out of his piggy bank and taken it to school and that he didn't need to be taking money to school and especially a cargo pocket full.
TISSUE.....
He looked up at Adam and I and said " Momma I didn't mean to, I was going to put it in my Foundry thing" Adam and I looked at each other like - oh crap we were getting on to him and they must be doing something for the Foundry ( homeless shelter) at school- I finally asked" what Foundry thing baby?" He said " You know this one in here Mommy"

At that moment Adam and I both realized what he was talking about...His Alabaster Box!

He took us into his room and he stood there and emptied his pockets and put all of his precious money into his Alabaster box. We have talked about this in church for several weeks but we had not received a box yet. Natalie had sent one home Sunday and to be completely honest I knew we had to fill it up but had not put anything in the box yet. All I could do was walk out of the room and cry. If we all only had faith like a child!!

These are just some things that I wanted to share about how precious these children are and what a impression we have one them!!! I hope that everyone is having a wonderful week !! Love to all!!

HOUSE FOR SALE!!!

Adam and I finally made the decision to put the house on the market. We figure now is as good a time as ever. We would love to see our family grow but maybe not in this house. This house has been a great HOME for us and I will always LOVE it. We both have learned how to do a lot of repairs and remodeling in this house. Please feel free the pass this information onto anyone that you think might be interested. They can also email Adam or myself at emkayeharris@gmail.com or call us at 205-296-7609.

The house is a 2 bedroom/1 bath. We have added a back door with a back porch. Hardwoods and a finished Laundry Room with a craft area at the end. Storage building in the back and newly landscaped front and back yard.

Bad Blogger

I know that I have been a terrible blogger. I promise from this point on that I will be a better blogger. Just to give every one a little update on what we have been doing and what is going on with us we have had a great summer. Lots of river time and 2 great beach trips with each of our families. B started K-5 at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church his new teacher is Mrs. Teal and he loves her dearly! Each week they have a bible verse that they have to say. This week was " All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God" Roman 3:23. He said it Friday to his teacher and was so proud of himself. He is getting to big! Our newest addition to the family, Ryver the Lab, is still GROWING and EATING all the time. My Dad swear every time he sees her she has grown another foot. I doubt it is at that rate or I would have the next Clifford for a pet! Adam and I are the same just work work and more work. I promise from here on out i will make it more of a habit to update more often.

Here are some beach pictures that a good friend took for us. I am lucky to have them as friends and be willing to take time out of there vacation to do this for us!!

Brady and Abby. This is Brady's little girlfriend. They are the best of friends and have been since they were 10 months old. It is the sweetest thing to wathc the two of them together.

Update to the Lugnuts Game!

How much damage would you think a squirrel could do to power lines? A ton apparently. Last night the game was cancelled due to the fact that a squirrel chewed through the power lines at the field and fryed him self to the lines. He did more damage than the power company thought that he could do and when they got there they could not get it fixed in time for us to play that night. So the game has been rescheduled for Thursday at 6 and 7:30 and if we do not win both games we will play again Friday night with the closing ceremony's to follow. Please come out and support our little Lugnuts if you can. It will be the cutest thing you will see all week.

GO LUGNUTS!!!
