What's new with the Meengs'?

A lot has happened with us in the last few months! We've been pretty busy, so here's a quick update:

Jon has been coaching varsity baseball at Calvin Christian. He is a great coach and has had many great times with the guys. He's been gone every night between practices and games, so Dylan & I have missed him. Although we do love going to the games to watch Daddy! Dylan always asks for popcorn at the concession stand, and of course always gets a free cup from the moms! The team did great this year, but lost in the regional finals. Now we are looking forward to next year's season.

We also decided to sell our house in the midst of the chaos! We had been thinking about it for a while, and just decided to do it. Since there were seven houses for sale on our street, we thought it would take quite a while. We were wrong! After 5 days on the market, we had an offer! That sale fell through, but 3 days later, we had another offer! So, after 12 days on the market, our house was SOLD! We moved last weekend and are now living in a condo because we have not found a house. We are fortunate to have such a nice place! The 60" TV in our "master suite" is a little overboard, but Jon is finally enjoying the Tigers games on cable! We were out looking at houses again tonight... but we haven't seen THE house yet. We'll keep looking!

And on top of all that excitement, we found out that Dylan was going to be a big brother! We're due on December 10, which is 5 days after Jon's brother and sister-in-law! We are going to have a busy Christmas this year. I've been feeling great, a little tired, but what do I expect with packing and running after Dylan all day long! Dylan seems to understand, in his almost 2 year old kind of understanding. A couple weeks ago he asked me where the baby was and I told him in Mommy's tummy. He then thought for a minute and answered, "Hmmm, must be eating lunch." Then a few days later at the dinner table he lifted his shirt up to look at his belly and said, "Baby in there!" I sure hope not! He hasn't said much lately, so we'll see how he reacts to my growing belly. Dylan is so funny that we're excited to see what comes out of this one's mouth!

That is about all the exciting news we can handle for now! Hope you we're too overwhelmed. Stop over some time and enjoy our new condo!

Welcome to the blogging world! It will be fun to read about Dylan and all of his explorations. Isn't it funny how our lives have had such similar paths these last few months? Can't wait to see the condo, and we will have to have you over to our rental house soon.
