House & Baby!




After 1st snow in Bloomington in 2012, two days before Christmas, we welcomed our 1st major breakage in our house – furnace.

Tie happened to want to vacuum the basement Sunday afternoon, and happened to be very particular for each corner, and happened to dampen his socks as he was finishing up, and happened to find out that the carpet is wet, and the Furnace is Leaking Water, but don’t know for how long.

Called the home warranty and a guy with a truck was sent over right after.

Easton completely thought that the guy with the truck is “Bob the Builder”!  And the idea of asking the guy: “Can you fixe it?” made his so excited!

The problem does not warrant a replacement of a new furnace.  So we have to wait for it to be fixed, and we cannot use the Furnace for 3 days due to Christmas holidays! 

The first thought came to my mind is to record this 1st major breakage like I did for Easton and Jake. 

It was then I realized that there are lots of similarities between having a house and a baby!  E.g.
  1.    always have lots of uncertainties, eager to learn and anticipate yet don’t know what to expect
  2.   lots of fun come with frustrations at times
  3.  always wonder “How can I make it (him) better?”
  4. “it will never go away” (Tie’s colleague summarized his feeling of having a house for 20 years.  We really like it and think it says all!)
