Hello Again

I don't blog much these days. Since we bought a house and sold one in the past few weeks, our time has been scarce and stress has prevailed at our house. The selling of our house was sad and we were angry about how the appraisal turned out, but the young couple who bought it love it and they are adorable. That being said, our new house is great. We have a lot of kinks to work out before we can get our grass greener and the house less green, but it will all take some time. We just have to be patient!

Our kids have been so good with all the stress surrounding them. They are loving the house too. It's hard to believe that Evan is nearly done with kindergarten. He has done so well this year. The thing that excites him the most is that he can now pick up any book and read it to us. We are incredibly proud of how well he is doing. He has picked up naughty words and behaviors from school though and willingly shares them with Madi. Grr!

Madilyn is all drama and emotions. A girl, right? She speaks so much better than Evan did at this age. I love watching her talk because her eyes are SO expressive! She is always the little shadow following me around the house all day. I just wish the kid would stop getting sick all the time. I swear her sicknesses come from her sucking her fingers. How in the world do I get her to stop?

Someday we will have all of our boxes unpacked, and the house more organized. Between both of us working full-time and trying to get the sprinkler system in the yard fixed, there hasn't been a lot of time for putting things in their rightful places. I was just glad to get pictures up on the wall. We still have a lot to do, but we are glad we decided to make the move and be out of our 2 bed/ 1 bath and into a 3 bed/ 2 bath with an acre of land. Plus, Central has been great!
