Starbucks, etc.

This morning Jaxon and I had time to stop by Starbucks before meeting Jason to go see a house.  We were having a great time talking and playing with his cars.  He was enjoying his milk and I was definitely enjoying my chai.  In the past Jaxon has not been the best at sitting still in a restaurant or anywhere else for that matter, so I was really impressed with his good behavior.  Just when I was thinking "We should really do this more often", he dropped his milk onto the floor by accident.  Luckily, the top stayed on, but then he got so upset that he slipped and fell off his chair backwards onto his elbow.  Ouch!!!  He is such a good boy and is growing up so fast!  I have a love/hate relationship with his growing up.  Onto meeting Jason to look at this house.  We have been looking for a house to buy ever since we moved here almost two years ago.  While we love living on the peninsula, it gets pretty crazy in the summer and isn't exactly where we want to be to raise our family.  Plus, most of the beach houses are tiny and not exactly affordable anyway.  We are happy where we are for now, but looking for a bigger place.  The house that we saw today is still out of our price range, but it is in a great location.  (Just up the hill) It is in a really nice neighborhood and we could still bike/walk to the beach whenever we want, but have our peace and quiet at night too.  The best of both worlds!  Here's to hoping it will come down hundreds of thousands of dollars more...  :)  It started at 1.8 and says submit all offers, so you never know!  For those of you keeping track, we have made 5 offers on different houses since we moved here and none of them have worked out for various reasons.  But in the meantime, prices keep coming down and in this market it's not such a bad idea to rent until the perfect place comes along.  Oh, this is the other one I really like.  It is in MUCH better shape and is in a great neighborhood as well, but just a little bit farther from the beach.  Not really walking distance, but you could still ride a bike for sure.  What do you think, could either of these be the perfect place for us???
