Snapshots of chaos
Yes, chaos is all around me. But, it's not bad. It's kinda fun. 🙂 We're living out of boxes still and probably will be for a little bit longer. Our goal was to get the kitchen unpacked first and that's done. Followed by the kids' rooms and that's almost done. Emily's room is completely done… Read more

For Uncle Chris and Auntie Paula
Andrew has been bugging us for two years to sign him up for soccer. We finally did and he had his first game this past Saturday. When we arrived, we saw tons of kids running around with their new jerseys on and noticed that the teams were all named after different countries. There were too many… Read more

I’ve gone a little crazy
One of the first things we had to do when we moved into this house was buy a new washer and dryer. I researched all of the brands, talked to the salesmen at all the big appliance stores, read all of the reviews and did all the normal things I do when I have to… Read more

We are finally here!
Last week was one of the hardest weeks of my entire life and it's almost hard to believe how many problems we ran into trying to close on this house. The bank manager was falling all over himself trying to fix the errors and deal with the employee incompetence that led to our closing being… Read more

Happy Birthday, Andrew!
My baby is 7 today. 🙂 We threw together a last-minute flag football party for him over the weekend and he couldn't have been happier. And it didn't hurt that his uncle came and was the captain of Andrew's team. Or that he was able to run for a touchdown on one of the first plays… Read more

My life is in boxes
The last time we had to move, Emily was 3, Libby was just a couple of months old and we moved ourselves from a tiny, 3-bedroom ranch into our current 2-story house. We packed up everything ourselves in boxes that had already been through one move and I'm not sure the packing took much more than a few days.… Read more

Libby – 1, Daddy – 0
(photo taken of Libby in her jammies first thing this morning) This is one proud little girl! She pulled an awesome April Fool's Day prank on her Daddy this morning and we're still laughing about it. Daddy is a huge jokester and pulling one over on him is nearly impossible. But she did it!… Read more

And we’re not going to be homeless!
And what I hope is the final entry in our home saga: We basically gave the sellers an ultimatum, their realtor called the septic inspector who backed up everything he had told us verbally, and the sellers backed down!!!! We will be closing on this house in 2 weeks. 🙂 And for those of you who… Read more
