My daughter and I leave today for an extended trip overseas to visit my sister. The guys will be staying here holding down the home front. This is a first for our family. I am really torn. I am excited and looking forward to our trip, particularly the warm weather! At the same time, I am worried about the guys being “home alone”. I know it will be good, for all of us. I know it will be fun and something we will treasure always. So, in just a few hours, we’re off!

A friend of mine just told me she thinks they will be getting a house soon. She is very happy as she has three young kids of her own and now her teenaged stepson is living with them too. Now is a great time for their family to get a new house. I would think that the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit that is still available will really help them out as well. This young family is one for whom this kind of credit makes sense. They are a young family with both parents working and doing the best they can to provide for their kids. I know the $8000 credit will only benefit them. I hope this all works out for them!
