Meeting the Cousins

Last weekend, Liam got to meet his two cousins that live in North Carolina for the first time!  We got a great picture of all five of the Maloy cousins together:

Anyone interested in a 1915 Craftsman Style Bungalow???

So Dave and I put our house on the market a little over two weeks ago. We absolutely love our house, but

1. it turns out that babies take up a lot more room than we originally thought (and Liam hasn’t even really started playing with toys yet),
2. we figured we might as well put it up for sale while we’re not in a position where we HAVE to move (which gives us some bargaining power),
3. there are a lot of first time home buyers out there scrambling to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit before the December 1 expiration date, which may help us sell the house, and
4. Dave is a realtor, so it’s relatively easy for us to put it on the market.

Our house

We’ve had a lot of people come through and several interested parties, but no offers on it yet. As such, I have ordered a St. Joseph statue to bury in our front yard. Never heard of this? Click here to read about the theory behind St. Joseph and selling a home. If nothing else, it’s fun to bury things in one’s yard.

Liam's Baptism and Bonfire

Last weekend, Liam attended his first bonfire and was baptised! It was a great weekend, and it was wonderful to see so many family and friends.

This first picture is hilarious because Liam is being held just feet away from a very large bonfire by a man drinking a beer. LOL!

Pastor Carlos Schneider baptised Liam at the 11:00 AM service on Sunday, October 4, 2009. Liam wore his Great Grandpa Gil's christening gown, which has also been worn by every one of Gil's direct descendants - so it's a pretty special gown!



My sister and her husband, Betsy and Mark, are Liam's godparents.

Three Months Old Today!

It's a big weekend for Mr. Liam Maloy! Yesterday, he had his first professional photo shoot in honor of his three-month birthday, tonight he will attend his first bonfire, and tomorrow he will be baptized at Kountze Memorial Church in Omaha!

Here are the pictures I took today (note the festive Halloween shirt he is wearing with his super cute jeans):
