Posting Break

I just wanted to let all of you know; I'm taking a posting break until after we move! With Morgan having swimming lessons 3 nights a week, a house that needs some remodeling before we move into it, and packing up our family, blogging is going to be put on the back burner. Our move date is set for November 10th, and Luke is taking some time off this week to start some of the work on the house. I'm going to try and take lots of pictures of everything that we do between today and the 10th so that the next post will be more fun and exciting than this one.

But Mommy I Was JUST......

This post happened on Tuesday, but I have not had a chance to put it up. I doing much better with the situation, but I still cringe a little if I look to close.

Well today Morgan played hairstylist. Yes that means exactly what you all are thinking she cut her hair. The hair that I love so much, and always enjoy doing is gone. She now has no bangs, and the right side of her head is missing large chunks of hair, and to top that all off if you move her hair just right, she has a little bit of a Mohawk! The lady at the hair salon said, "She’s half way to a mullet." The word mullet just makes me quiver and that thought that my little girl looks like she has one might just be enough to make me sick. So this afternoon we got a hair cut and her hair looks a little better I'm still trying to get over the fact that she cut it. I have posted a picture of her hair after the at home hair cut gone wrong. I'm sure that most of you are thinking that it's just hair, but for me my kid’s hair is a big deal. I know that it will grow back, but for now I'm still sad and will miss Morgan’s hair.

Happy Birthday Olivia

Today Olivia turns ONE! This is every exciting, but has also been a little emotional for me as well, the thought of her not being a baby anymore is kinda sad. I'm so glad that we have been blessed with two wonderful daughters, and each millstone it a wonderful one. I have posted a few pictures of Miss Olivia, I might add some more latter after she has her first taste of cake.

We're Moving!

I'm writing this blog with so much excitement, I can hardly contain myself. After almost 2 years in a 1200 sq. foot apartment, our family is moving to a 2200 sq. foot HOUSE! I can hardly wait! I don't really know what I will do with all the extra space, but I'm sure we will find ways to use it as our family continues to grow. The house is about 5 minutes from were we are living right now, in a nice neighborhood. It's a ranch with a loft at the end of a cul-de-sac. There is a park very close by, and, to top it all off, the back yard is huge! God has blessed our growing family with the wonderful surprise of a new home at just the right time. I will try to post a few pictures soon. Thank you so much for all of you who prayed for us as we waited to find the right fit for our family.

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the pumpkin patch with friends from our moms group. It was fun to have all the kids together(some were missing). The weather ended up being nice, and the girls had so much fun just being outside.

Morgan trying to take Olivia for a wheel barrel ride, Olivia wasn't so sure about it!

When Sharpies Attack!

Today when I went to get Morgan up from her nap I found a big surprise! I will let the picture do the talking.
After I had excused myself for a few minutes to laugh, I went back in and explained to her that when she is done taking a nap in Mommy and Daddy's room that its not okay for her to get into the desk. She had not only colored on her face, but on every envelope in an almost new box, and her pajamas . I'm so glad that she insisted on putting them on for nap today.

Could It Be?

We think that the right house might have found our family! Luke and I went through a house today that meets most of our criteria, plus it has more square footage than we had hope to have. There are a few problems, but I think we will find that with most anything. We are now in the possess of negotiating with the owners of the property, if this is meant to be the house for our family we know that the problems will work out. So please pray for us as our next few weeks unfold that Luke and I will be able to accept Gods plan. More me than Luke, but I think that we both would be a little disappointed if things didn't work out.
