It's been 2 months and a lot has happened for us. We are currently under contract for a tear down in La Grange, IL. We are really excited about this property. The lot is a bit larger than most in the area and we got a great deal on it, so we are happy. We've been in Chicago now for 7 months so it's nice to have a plan. We are currently looking at house plans and hopefully will start building by the end of the summer. We originally wanted to live in La Grange, but started increasing our search area because we weren't finding what we wanted. Our new lot is located on the first block north of the train. We are about 3 blocks from the train station which gets you downtown in a bout 20 minutes. We are also about 8 blocks from downtown lagrange which is filled with restaurants, shops, movie theatre, trader joe's, borders, etc. If you go west we are about 1 miles from downtown western springs, which an oberweis is located. We are just on the other side of the tracks from the high school (Lyons Township). George will be about 20 minutes closer to work and I will be about 40 minutes closer, WOOHOO!!
Giovanni is doing great. He will be 3 years old in just a month. We are planning his birthday party now and can't believe how big he has gotten. He is officially potty trained. He wakes up dry from his naps/overnight the majority of the time. He still likes to go #2 in a diaper so we will be working on that. He has begun really talking a ton. He really loves Thomas the Tank Engine. He loves his train table and pretty much plays with that everyday.
