Here are some of the pics from Hanukkah with the Shugans! These are pics from Carolina's phone (thank you), so for now, these will have to do! Sadie had a great time and was spoiled by all her uncles, aunt Carolina and of course Bubbe and Grandpa. We went to Chicago this past week and I will post a couple of the pics I have from that but there will be more to follow. It's funny to think that at Hanukkah last year Sadie took her first real steps! Now she is only a couple of weeks away from being 2 and a half!!
In other news...the contract we had on the short sale house fell through. We were really bummed because we were so excited for us to have our own place. So, we took a step back and tried to think about what we wanted to do. We found out the week before we went to Chicago so we decided we would just do nothing until we got back. I was still looking around to see what I could find and we really weren't happy with anything we say in the range we were looking. We had initially only looked at single family homes. I decided that I would see if there were any available units in a couple of the condo communities that we would be happy living in. There are only 2-3. So we found a couple of "semi detached" homes that do not share any living walls, only garage walls and decided to look at one. We really liked it but wanted to think about it because it was not what we had originally planned for. We went to Chicago and continued to talk about it and decided it was the right thing for us to try. So, the day we got back (this past Wednesday) we made an offer and yesterday we found out they accepted it! The only catch is that we have to close in 2 weeks!!!! So, the next step is the inspection, which will be Monday. If everything goes okay with that, we will be closing the following week! Luckily, we have our apartment until the end of February. So, we can go in the new place and paint and do the floors and all that stuff. Plus, we will have time to move and not have to rush it all in 1 weekend. Anyhow, we're really excited and hope it all pans out okay. I will take pics of that too! I will post Chicago pics soon! Loves

Sarah, I lost the last message I wrote to you...where did it go? "Up in the trees!"...what your mother use to say when she was about Sadie's age.
Anyway darling, I love all the pictures! Thank you so much for posting them. Also we are so happy about you getting your very first " place". It sounds like it was meant to be. I am so glad that you and Adam think things through before making a major decision like buying a place of your own. Dona told me that the Germans have a saying that goes something like this: "die heim, ist die heim". Not sure about the spelling. Anyway, where ever you live I know that you and Adam will make a loving home for Sadie and she will always remember it as being her "home". You both are such good parents to our wonderful great granddaughter that it brings tears of joy to our eyes. God's blessings to you all now and for the new year to be one of good health and much happiness. Love you, mamma and papa
