Congratulations!!! What a happy relief for you all.

Wow! Congratulations! I have been worried about it selling with this whole market slowdown thing. (Well, as worried as a blog stranger, I guess, I mean, I'm not losing sleep because of all the stalker worry!)

Posted by Bunny | July 16, 2007 7:48 AM

I think that's so exciting! Hey, will Mia get a "big girl bed" at the new house?

Posted by Emily | July 16, 2007 7:59 AM

Woohoo! Congratulations.

Congratulations! How relieved you must be.

Posted by jonniker | July 16, 2007 8:25 AM

Wonderful news! Whew! Now all you have to do is MOVE. But there is an end in sight.

Posted by Sharri | July 16, 2007 8:27 AM

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Now Chris won't have to get that second job, because we all know you have the most important job spending time with Mia, so you couldn't go back to work.

Posted by Krush | July 16, 2007 8:31 AM

She's so beautiful!

Posted by Amy | July 16, 2007 8:36 AM

Congrats! May the moving begin (and be as easy as possible)! :)

Congrats on the home sale!!! That makes things a little less stressful. Now the hard work of packing with toddler help!!!

Mia is so cute in these pics!!! Hard to believe she is almost 2. Growing up fast!

Posted by linda | July 16, 2007 8:48 AM

Congratulations!
She looks like such a big girl now!

Posted by Tuesday | July 16, 2007 8:56 AM

Guess you'd suggest St. Joseph then? We are probably going to really get serious about house hunting/selling in about 6 months. I'll have to go out and get me one of those little guys. ;)

Congrats! I can only imagine the excitement.

Basket ball ~ too cute!

Posted by Janene | July 16, 2007 8:58 AM

Many congratulations to the Fish/Cactus/Bean family!! Now to begin the packing...

I believe this calls for a Happy Dance!!!!

Congradulations!

Posted by Casey | July 16, 2007 9:00 AM

WOOT! I've never said that before, bit I think it was appropriate. Also, when did Mia's arm get so grown up looking?? Where's the dimply chubs?

Posted by JuJuBee | July 16, 2007 9:01 AM

Yay, congratulations! That's a very serious face in #2 though!

Posted by Katherine | July 16, 2007 9:10 AM

WHAAAAT!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Man, and we've had our house on the market for...8 months! AM JEALOUS! But very excited for you! Posting pictures of your new house will make me feel better, ok?

Posted by Kellyology | July 16, 2007 9:54 AM

Congratulations!

I love the fourth and fifth photos for their cause and effect. Her expression makes me wonder what happened after she released the ball.

But, of course, the smile always wins the day.

Posted by Susan | July 16, 2007 9:55 AM

Hooray for you! Congratulations!

Posted by Kelly | July 16, 2007 10:04 AM

Congratulations!

Posted by Jenny | July 16, 2007 11:00 AM

Okay now we all will start the crossing of the fingers (and everything else that will help) that all the little details and paper work junk and ick work out easy as pie. Then that the move goes smooth smooth smooth.

Posted by Dawn | July 16, 2007 11:01 AM

That is so awesome! And so quick! That toddler should be super excited for her folks! Way to go!

Posted by Karen | July 16, 2007 11:05 AM

What a relief for you and Chris.

Posted by Diane | July 16, 2007 12:51 PM

Yeah! Congrats!!!!! May your packing be quick and painless and your closing go smoothly. Now, come sell our home. It's been on the market for over 90 days.

Posted by Irene | July 16, 2007 1:14 PM

It's a beautiful smile, to be sure, but the eyes saying "Oh, and now we have to pack all this stuff up!".

I was noticing that the carpet looked clean and vacuumed and was wondering how much longer you would have to maintain that level of cleanliness! Good for you!
