Today, the kids consummated the purchase of a triplex in Somerville. Kyle and Maya attended the closing in Natick while Nicolai signed forms electronically from Washington, DC, where he will be playing amputee soccer for the US when they take on France in the McCourt Global Amputee Soccer Invitational this Sunday.

Although they own the building jointly, the triplex has three nearly identical units. Maya has taken the 3rd floor, Kyle the 2nd, and Nico will be on the first floor. Each kid can choose to live in their unit or rent it out for the cash flow. Nicolai will be the first to move in when his current lease expires. We are postponing a proper celebration until Jeanine and Nico return so we can do so as a family.
