Greed?!?

Ok so on Tuesday we got an offer for our house. It was a real crappy offer. It wasn't even going to pay off our mortgage, so we have to counter with $5,000 just to break even. Anyway, I just don't know what to do because this guy is a very well known member of the community and is paying cash! but that still doesn't change the fact that we have to be able to pay the house off and pay the realtors and closing costs.

So this is the delema. Caleb and I can not see eye to eye on this. We have been praying to sell our house. And now that we have the chance to (assuming he accepts the offer) Caleb is wanting to counter with 10,000 over what he offered us. To me, in this market and taking into account that we have NEVER recieved an offer and the year mark is coming up, I think we should feel lucky and like our prayers have been answered to break even on this deal! I am scared that if we come back with too high of a counter then he will walk because this is a serious buyers market if I have EVER seen one! I just don't want to offend God by saying 'thanks for answering our prayers but we want more money' I keep telling Caleb, 'we didn't pray to be rich! We just prayed to sell our house so that we can be together as a family and now we have been given that opportunity'!

Does anyone else agree with me? Or am I crazy?

random boy-ness at our house!

Ryan offically loves horses,
and hats, any hat will do

I think........

its going to.........

runin the family!

(don't you love calebs hat? its really lukes bob the builder hat. I guess daddy misses his orange hard hat from the papermill)

Luke learned how to ride with no training wheels! I can't believe it! 3 year olds shouldn't have training wheels taken off! But his cousins do and he had been trying to ride their bikes so we took him to the park and now, I can't ever find him!!

(unless the bike is tied to the tree...hee hee hee)

Ryan likes bikes too

and mud....100% boy, just like his brother

4th of July

We were convinced last year that Holbrook (yes holbrook, az) has the best fireworks! It is true, you have to go watch them some time!

Last year Ryan was a month old when we watched fireworks so he slept in the car but this year he was HILLARIOUS! Cute kid, he loved them!

With all the busy day, Luke got no nap and fell asleep on the way to Holbrook so this is how he watched the fireworks...and telling me he was cold and wanted to go home. Oh how different 2 boys can be :)
