December

So I was talking to a friend today about my lack on blotting & well 2 months, I'm rather over due. We've been our home for over two months. We love it. It feels more like home than our other house did. It's an older home & needs plenty of love but we have time to do it. I think first on our agenda for the new year is Lil's room & the play room. Then our bathrooms & master bedroom. The kitchen will be the biggest to tackle, aka most expensive so we haven't quite decided when we should start that.

We like the location, our new neighbors and what to look forward to as we live life in our new home.

As far as Lil goes she's creative, silly, playful and new imaginative stories are fun to listen to. She continues to have a hearty appetite, but has some definite dislikes, such as swiss cheese, onions, peppers. She loves olives, broccoli, mushrooms and yes sweets. It's hard to avoid around Christmas time, all in moderation~ right? :). Plus she loves egg milk, also known as egg nog.
Thinking Christmas will be extra special this year. Reading more stories surrounding Advent this year as we talk about the true meaning of Christmas as a family. Plus I'm off of work, yay!

October brings changes

So sadly I realize I have completly missed the month of September. Let's just say my blogging has been lackluster cause I enjoy photos when I blog & well I haven't figured out how to get pics uploaded from my phone to the blog & we are without a computer right now, boo. So my enthusiasm hasn't been there. :(

I worked a lot, too much in September. At the end of the month though, amongst packing & prepping the new house we took a trip to Emerald Isle. I couldn't have asked for better company, food or time away.

In this first week of October we were back to a consuming reality of move time. And so tomorrow we'll be joined by the helping hands of friends & we'll start the next chapter of our life in our new place. Look forward to what's ahead.

August, where did you go

27th...what? So life has been full of hot summer weather, water (in many forms), friends, family, changes and waiting.
We've been waiting for the progression on our 'home to be'....between inspections, appraisal, counter-offersssssss.

We are suppose to close on the house on Monday, but thinking thats not going to happen. We have a few things that need to be settled and they are out of our hands, so again we'll see what is in store for us.

We are in the midst of inclement weather, an earthquake earlier in the week & a hurricane on its way. Interesting....

Lil has been full of energy, waking most days before us and wanting brekist (breakfast) immediately. Then we venture out after some food and get some bottled up energy out. Overall its been nice the weather has changed quite a bit, warm days but not overly disgusting.
We try to keep it simple in the afternoon, naps and some yard play. If we're going, going, going during the day we really try to keep it slow during the afternoon or if we know we're going to be out we aim for quiet as well.

Lil's appetite is bountiful as always and working on more teeth....she continues to be chatty, w/new words everyday. She will repeat most words, so watch out...

Hopefully the next time we blog the house thing will be all settled.
