Disappointed…

2:45 pm, October 5, 2008 by jason in Our Crazy Life

As many of you are aware, we are selling our house. This decision came after a lot of debate, discussion and research into converting to a single family - but that is a different story…  Today was our first open house after having it listed for just over a week, I was cautious and pessimistic about my expectations, but was not prepared for what happened.

No one showed up.

That’s right absolutely positively noone.  From the hours of 12-2 our relator watched the Packer game and entertained no one.  This in itself isn’t that big of a deal the issue is really with all of the work that goes into preparing for an open house and doing that work for naught.  If you’ve never gone through this experience, you clean and tidy up your house so that it is beautiful and uniquely common.  That’s right, everything that makes the house uniquely yours is hidden away so that the people who walk in can imagine the house as theirs.

Next week we’ll have another open house and hopefully it’ll be a nicer day out and the Packers will play later in the day…

Comparison

11:26 am, October 4, 2008 by jason in Letters to Maia, The next one

I know you shouldn’t compare one child to another because everyone is different but I’m going to anyway.  We just had Tarek’s two month appointment and we here are his stats compared to Maia’s.  The most important part is that he is healthy.

• Weight:  Tarek:  13 lbs 3.5 oz (75%)  Maia:  11 lbs 11.5 oz (75%)
• Length:  Tarek:  24.5 in  (90%) Maia:  22.25 in (50%)
• Head Circumference:  Tarek:  40 cm (50%)  Maia 40.5 cm (90%)

What I find interesting is the differences in actual stats and the similarities in percentile and vice versa.  I’ll continue to provide these comparisons moving forward for the sake of science.
