Earlier this month, the contract on our house in Joplin fell though. And since then, Missouri has been a weather nightmare. Please pray that we find a buyer soon! (like this weekend) We would rather not take the buyout from Josh's work but if we have to that is what we will do.
It has been very, very stressful for Josh and I.
Hello everyone! We have survived the major ice storm without any harm. No house damamge, no damaged trees, and we have had power! Many in our area have been without power for about 11 days now. Now the cleanup begins.
Some stuff going on with us:
Jayden got to hold the sucker sack in Sunday School. It doesn't seem like a big deal but it was something we talked about for a week. His teacher told me that he made note of who did not say "thank you."
His girlfriend was in the area so we got together and had a great time. Jayden would let her play with the tools but she could hold them until he was ready for them. I wonder where he has seen that before!!!
Josh has officially turned our child into a David Crowder Band fan. Most kids want a lullaby or sweet song before bed but our son wants to sing "Crowder songs!"
So far, we are staying healthy after the bought with the stomach flu. Jopefully we can keep this trend going!
Things with the baby are going well. The Dr. told me that this baby is big but I am within one centimenter of the size I was with Jayden at this point. I also gained 8 pounds in one month! Opps! Darn that holiday baking and the four batches of puppy chow that I made and mainly ate by myself!
Today is the start of a brand new year and I am resolving to be better about communicating with friends and family on a regular basis! I have very low expectations for myself.
Today is our 7th wedding anniversary. I can't believe that it has already been 7 years. We celebrated by renting movies (we haven't done this in about 4 months) and cleaning the office! Actually our gift to each other is the annual Swarovski crystal ornament and new bedrrom furniture.
Jayden had a wonderful Christmas. He even made up a song yesterday: "Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree. Let's open up more presents!" I guess next year we will need to work on teaching him about the real meaning of Christmas.
We also found out shortly before Christmas that we are going to have another boy. We are very excited. Jayden is going to move into his new big boy room, hopefully by February 1.
Josh is planning to take some time off in February to help his parents clean out his grandpa's workshop. We are also going to work on several projects around the house. We have so much on our list to try to get done before this new baby comes because we know we won't get around to doing much after his arrival. Josh looked at his "honey-do list" and cringed today!
I am going to head downstairs now and watch a movie with the Mr!
