Happy 4th of July...

It seems like the nice weather just barely got here and we're already half way to Fall.
This has been an eventful month. Lauren and Bella moved back to Troy to get settled in before Dave gets here in September. We've got them all set up in the house, and most of their household goods stored.

Gramma Kelly (me ma) and G-Diddy are having a great time getting to know Bella. She's quite a smart little girl, and although it's an adjustment having people in the house again after so many years of quiet time... we're adapting well and enjoying every minute.

David surprised us and popped in for the weekend on leave. He really misses his family, and it was tough to drop him off at the airport again, but he's got 66 days until he's home permanently... and he's counting every one of them.

Jessy & Anthony came home to join the fun for the 4th as well... it was a great time having the whole family back together again. We're a little exhausted, but there's plenty of time to catch up on our sleep.

Bellas learning to swim in the back yard, and we even squeezed in a few minutes to teach her the basics of a golf swing. Dave, Anthony, Kelly & I played a little golf this weekend. When Bella gets old enough, she's gonna make a pretty good cart mate for Gramma.

Real estate has been steady, I've been getting my share of listing appointments and have been working with several buyers over the last month. The May numbers from MCAR didn't show an increase, and in fact the average prices are continuing to show declines. Good buyer traffic is always encouraging though, and we'll just keep plugging away doing my part to clear out the local inventory.

Thanks again for all your referrals. They are appreciated.

Dave
