Look what I found just now. I thought it was so cute, I had to sneak a few pictures when they weren't looking.

It's Cold...Or is it Warm?

This week we have been excited to finally get outside because it was WARM!!! Well except that today it is cold. I think this is the most aggravating season. It can't make up its mind about being cold or warm. Come on! Make a decision!

Look closely. That says "mom". If only I was really that skinny.

These are train tracks Logan is drawing. I taught them how to draw these after Logan saw them at the store and wanted some. Have you seen how expensive those things are? I don't think we will be buying those any time soon.

Back to the real world I guess...

Hey all. I am back. The past couple weeks have been very eventful. As in lots of stuff has been happening.

My parents came back for good. They spoiled my kids rotten while I packed up the house. Trevor was off gallevanting around while I did all the hard work. No I jest. I am so proud of him and how he has taken care of us. And while I absolutely DETEST moving, it had to be done.

My mom packed up the kitchen for me. Totally grateful to her for that. Although there was absolutely no rhyme or reason to anything packed in any one box. HAHA! Love you mom! You are a nut though! Logan and I have been having a good time going on "treasure hunts" looking for stuff.

So now we are here and it feels good to be getting on to life. The house is an absolute disaster though since I lack the motivation to unpack. Hey, give me a break! This is our 8th place in six years!

We celebrated my birthday a few days ago and even though I am not looking forward to the big one next year, this year I am still feeling young.

And now a big announcement:

*wink* I know what you are thinking, and it's not that.

I am going to school online! YAY! Photography school! Even better right?!?

SO excited!

A Week of Puking and Other Exciting Stuff

It's been a week since my last post. Here is what has been going on:

1. Everyone has been sick. Throw up has been flying in every direction.

2. The washer and dryer have been running 24/7 to clean up the vomit.

3. We drove around looking for a place to live and really didn't find much. Unless we want to live on the third floor of an apartment complex. Can you imagine me bringing in the groceries with three kids? Save me now!!

4. I haven't packed one box. Not one. I have been too busy cleaning up the puke.

Trevor starts on Monday and I am staying here for another week. My parents will love that, I am sure! Everyone woke up today feeling much better. Crossing my fingers that those nasty puke filled days are behind us.

I've got to go do a few last loads of laundry now and bleach and disinfect the whole house. We wouldn't want to make our landlords sick now would we?

Did you ever wish you were witty. Maybe a better story teller. Had a little bit more grace, or maybe more charm. Yeah. Me too.

The point. Hmmm. Yeah the point. Well there was no point. Just a random thought I wanted to put out there.

And now for some news. Some very good news.

My parents came home. I stayed up all night for two days finishing all the work around here. Painting, caulking.... yes I can do it all....even dry wall.

We ran out to meet them as they drove into the lane. It was so good to see them. They looked a little shocked to see the mud pit outside (unfinished patio). I told them to close one eye and squint with the other and it would look better.

They were happy to see us all and couldn't stop grinning. I made my mom walk into the house first. She stopped and admired the new door and I pushed her into the house 'cause there was way more inside to look at.

You should have heard her and my dad. "Oh wow! Look at this! I love the paint! Oh where did you get this? I can't believe you did all this!"

"Leon. Come look in here! The wall is gone! This isn't the same house!" There was even some tears at one point. It was great.

They left this morning. They went back to Texas to get their second car and they are going to some church history sites on the way home the second time.

And that brings me to the miracle. Trevor was offered a job this week. I feel overwhelmed and well I guess the strongest feeling is probably disbelief. It is most definitely a miracle. We are very grateful to say the least.

I will believe it is really true when we move.
