1 Step Forward, 2 Steps back

Tuesday afternoon, I had been give a phone call saying we have the contractor selected and we basically all just need to sign the contract and we can begin. Then yesterday, I received a phone call from Lori saying that we are not ready to sign the contract. Last fall I had several foundation contractors out to bid on the job. It was at the turning point this past January that I have really learned and tried to do my best job at selecting a foundation contractor. It was then that I wanted to do a differant route and find a contractor that I can trust, not just someone who will bid it low! Part of Lori's job is to send a letter to all of the company's that were not selected to do the job. The 3 bids that I handed in two weeks ago all bid one the latest work write up. The companys in the fall all bid on a differant work write up. So when she sends out the letter saying they did not get the job, she is not being fair to the first few companies, because they are not bidding on the same work. So she needs to send out the new work write up and offer them to bid on this. She is giving them a 2 week deadline to adjust their bids if they are interested in still contending. Therefore, it will be at least another 2 weeks before we can sign a contract! Now, I am hoping we can keep our guy!!!! He was willing to basically give us the Egress window for free so he could get the job! Now, I only hope he is still the lowest!

Ali's latest thing is to add "ookie" onto words. So when she wants a nuk it is called a nukie.

We had a great Easter Sunday. We woke up and make Resurrection buns and then had an Easter Egg hunt. After we found our eggs, we went sat down and learned the meaning of our colored jelly beans. Then it was time to run off some of that sugar before we went to lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Cohan. After lunch we watched a movie and then hunted our baskets. The kids were great and behaved very well for the amount of sugar in their systems. We had a great day learning and enjoying the true meaning of Easter.

Happy Easter!
