Not much time for a in-depth update - too much to juggle. The under contract period is progressing well. Inspection went good (few nitpicky things) and the buyers mortgage appears solid - so most hurdles have been jumped.
Looking for rentals has not been too bad - but the fact we want 9 months maximum - and then a option to go month-to-month after that has vastly limited our choices. As of now - looks like we may be renting a 1930's two story in downtown Naperville. Fairly close to our build site and also has a nice fenced yard and two car garage/basement. It certainly isnt luxury living - but I fear we may get spolied living closer to downtown than our finished house will be - (it shaves about 10-15 minutes off the walk time). But I just refuse to go back to apartment complex living or living far out to save a few bucks...
School transition will thankfully be painless - as the boys will just transfer within the system and go to a Chesterbrook Academy in Naperville/Lisle. I am sure the first week will be hard on Connor- but he usually adjusts well. He will be leavign his best-bud Trevor though - so we will see how that goes -apparently, those two are attached at the hip all day at school (literally - teacher told us last week that Trevor was sick and crying...Connor laid down next to Trevor and slept with him until his parents came - I guess we're doing something right in our parenting!)
Now the packing/moving begins...along with working non building permits, etc. As best case scenario - we cant realy even start unitl Sept (permits take that long)...
Carter is getting BIG...

Connor figured out it was much easier to pop bubbles with a stick than his hand...
