New house

We are in the process of perhaps buying a house maybe. Yesterday, Kate, Nick, Jim, Susan, and Maceo went to look at the house all together. It was exciting, especially for Maceo. He ran around the house, telling us which room was for whom. He found a piece of wood. So exciting!

He's since been asking when we will be going there again. We try to explain the uncertainty of the process and the concept of time, but it doesn't really work. Nick finally told him he'd have to be patient, referring to a Cookie Monster book Maceo has. That seemed to work. About an hour later, out of the blue, Maceo told us, "I'm not going to talk about my new house anymore. I'm going to be patient and keep my question in my throat." He soon after was asking questions again, but it was super cute while it lasted. 

Cupcakes and cousins

Maceo was making scones with Kate and he began to tell me about the cupcakes he and Cassius would have at his birthday party in April. "I will have a yellow one with a train on it and Cassius will have a green one with a truck on it."

"Sounds good," I tell him. "God willing, we'll have it at our new house!" "Yes, God willing, we'll have it at our new house," said Maceo. He paused. "That's my cousin," he said. "Who?" I asked. "God willing," he said.
