Isaac is 3 months old!! - 08/19

Well, that about says it all. Isaac Benjamin is 3 months old today! I can hardly believe he's been here for 3 months all ready, though in many ways it seems he's been here forever.
There are more pictures and videos uploaded on our website for you all to see!! A really funny video of Zechie on there, being his normal ham self!
Things are going pretty good here. Josh has been down to the school a couple times getting things prepared, and he did a ton of work through the summer here at home - lesson plans and such. Just a couple weeks left of summer vacation and then he becomes "Mr. Baker"!
We're still working on finding a house for ourselves. We made an offer on one, but it wasn't accepted, and the lowest the sellers will come down to the house just isn't worth. So, that one's not going to work! We made an offer on another one today, which wasn't accepted either, but the sellers made a counter-offer so it's left to us to think about it and either say yea or nay.
I'm feeling very worried and scared about all of this. Buying a house is SUCH a huge step, and I hate that we really can't afford to do it. Though, we also can't really afford to throw money away for another year or more renting. I just hate having to ask for help from our parents. We appreciate everything more than words can say, but it's not a good feeling to not be able to make things work, to make ends meet sometimes.
So, I'm not sure what we're going to do about this house. I thought yes for sure, right up until they came back with their counter-offer. I was hoping, I guess, for more of an offer back from them, or at least that they were still willing to negotiate, but they're firm on what they've decided and that's it. So, I don't know!
...and I'm trying to put some pictures on here, but the website's not really working right right now, so I'll have to post this and try to get pics later.
Bye, all!
