Settling In...

Its been about 6 weeks since graduation, and we have settled in to a new (rental) house, new town, new job and new routine. Life right now is so exciting and exhausting.

Greyson is almost 8 months old already! I can't hardly believe it. He is my biggest baby andhe is very daring.  He does what I call a lunge crawl. He is standing up to furniture and just recently has started trying to do it with now hands, he is just growing up way too quickly.  His smiles just make me the happiest person alive and can change even one of my darkest days into something better.

Sydney melts my heart when she looks up at me with her big blue eyes the answer is sadly always yes! She is working so hard at using her words clearly so that even daddy can understand her :) Some of things she says though we can't help but laugh because of what it sounds like!  She is our copy-cat anything her big sister is doing she wants to be right there doing it with her.

Kloee is our curious girl. She asks about a million questions a day which is fun but wears me out. She is my big helper too, she is so good to her siblings and plays with both of them frequently so that I can get my "chores" done. She has been a blessing us since day one. Her contagious laugh and funny stories keep us giggling all day.

As for me Im getting our house put away still. How long can you say to people when they come over "Dont mind the mess we just moved in" and still get away with it.  I thought I would have more time now with no calling at church (for the time being) but I find myself just as busy making our new place a home and learning new ways to save money, organize and stay on top of the housework. I am in absolute heaven with all our family around. There is always something to do and fun to be had.

Darren still feels swamped. Between his new job and learning how to keep up a lawn now he has very little down time.  He is really enjoying learning how to do handy work around the house I think by the end of the summer the people at Home Depot are going to know us on a first name basis.  He works so hard for us and does very well at taking care of all our needs, we would simply be lost without him.

We are all thriving here and loving life, I think it feels surreal to be here and not be gearing up for another school year. Life is good to us. Now I'm off in search of the camera so I can give updates about all the fun things we have been up to!

Hungery Hungery Greyson

We seriously cant keep this kid fed....He was drinking 6 oz every 3 hours and he stopped sleeping through the night so two weeks before recommended we gave in and starting cereal, this kid is a champ at eating it by the second time feeding it to him he was moving it back and eating it without us needing to put the Binky in after every bite. Now he is back to sleeping from 8:30pm to 6:30 am I know I'm spoiled

1st Day of Preschool

Preschool is something I feel is OVERWHELMING, I have seperation anxiety about leaving Kloee somewhere but luckily I have some patient friends that were willing to do this with me, we rotate weeks that we are in charge of teaching and the best part is that when I do leave Kloee its with two gals I trust tremendously. The first day went GREAT! I was shocked how long they sat and listened.

Snack time...we were learning A is for apples so I made the apple wedges into smiley faces not sure if you can tell by the picture.

These are seriously THREE smart kiddos!

Vday Love

I guess this is the only picture I got this year. With how busy we are we just kept it small but it was a great day. This was my favorite. I took the kids to Wal*Mart and they saw this giant card and they begged me to get it for dinner. For $3 how could I tell them no. They spent a good hour coloring the inside of it for him, NOW thats LOVE :)

About 3 months...

This kid is what keeps me going these days he is as sweet as can be and such an easy relaxed baby.  I don't get a lot done these days because I spend the day lovin' on this guy! He as certainly stolen my heart.
