I realize that I have not posted since we moved. So I figured I better get an update up.
We are now all settled into a nice house, in a nice neighborhood. It has 4 bed rooms, which is great for us, because now the kids have separate rooms and we still manage to have an office. :)
So almost everything is unpacked. We are still looking to get Mike another book case. Mike claims that most of the boxes were my craft stuff, but, I think the people who helped us move can verify that there were a lot more boxes labeled books (Not to mention that books are a LOT heavier than crafting supplies).
Other than that, everything else has been unpacked for awhile now. For those of you that know me, you know I had most of done with in a week. Guess it's that A type personality... LOLWe even managed to find something fun to do with some of the moving boxes. Mike had fun making this "maze" for the kids to play in.
Things have actually been pretty slow here... The kids and I spend a lot of time at the park. Now that we have one only three blocks away, it seems such a shame to waste the wonderful Arizona weather indoors. Mike is working. We go to Church, and spend a lot of time with family. Pretty boring life really. LOL
I remember posting earlier this year, that this was the Chinese year of the dog, but in our house it was the year of the germ. This seems to be holding true. We managed to stay well through most of the summer, and then BAM... the germ strikes again. We even had to change plans at Thanksgiving. We were supposed to go see my folks, but ended up staying here and spending the holiday at my in-laws. Not that, that is necessarily a bad thing, as my MIL is a wonderful cook, and Mike's family is great. But it still stinks to have to change plans at the last minute... especially when you are sick.
Anyway, I cannot believe Thanksgiving is over. It's almost Christmas. WHERE DOES TIME GO?
Can someone please answer this question? I look at my kids and I think..."Wow, they are getting so big... How did that happen?" <Sigh> They grow up so fast. I was reading some of the back issues of this blog... Alexa's first steps, Timmy's mispronunciations... Where does it all go? Alexa is running around like a pro athlete now and Tim can actually hold a conversation with you. They do grow up so fast.
Mike's niece just had a baby. He is so cute.
I was thinking as I was holding him... "How come I can barely remember when my kids were this small?" and then I thought "Well that's because Tim was NEVER this little!" Her baby was born at 7 pounds 9 ounces... Tim was 9 pounds 1 ounce. There is a big bit of difference there... LOL. Now Lex was just over 7 pounds, so at one point she was that small. It all seems so long ago. But I would not trade the last 3 years for anything. It is amazing to see how far my kids have come from the time they were born, and so dependent on us for everything, to these independent little people, who everyday learn something new, and try to apply it. (Like learning how to unlock the door and closing it promptly when the alarm sounded).Anyway, I do have a few new pictures that I am posting.
But I would not get used to the idea of to many more. My camera is dead... and I mean really dead. I am borrowing my MIL's for the moment. So you all may have to get used to actually reading the blog, not just looking at the pictures. :)Anyway, I will try and get better about posting
So I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving, and just remember... my birthday and Christmas are right around the corner... feel free to contribute to my camera fund.
Just kidding.
Happy Holidays!
