Hello Family and Friends!
Well... It's been awhile since I've blogged it's been super busy and finding the time isn't as easy as I'd like it to be. Anyways, the kids are still sleeping and I have the day off so I thought right now would be perfect since many of you do not get our status updates on Facebook we need to loop you in.
Things have been busier than normal John's been working on a house for us to move into he's been painting, laying tile, and just getting it ready for us to move into. The carpet should be in next week towards the end I would imagine and yes, we are blessed with brand new carpet, tile, painted walls, a very large kitchen, laundry room with washer and dryer, a bath tub... That's right I said a bath tub currently our little house (it's hard for me to call it a house) has a kitchen the size of a very small closet, a bathroom with no tub, and bedrooms with no closet, and two rooms with no windows... Man will it be a great blessing the day we move... I think this is one time that John and I are both excited to move.
It's just 20 minutes south of where we are currently living so we are not moving far... We both have great jobs and steady work... A blessing that I know is rare to find these days..
We know you all have been waiting for the kid update so here it goes...
Izabelle: is home-schooled and is doing great she is excited about it and asking me all the time is it time for school and can I do school now.. We aim for 45 minutes to 1 hour a day sometimes more. We tend to do school on Saturdays and Sundays because she is so eager to learn. Ana sits and colors the entire time not saying a word usually just colors... It's a good system we have going for now. That's really the big stuff she has going on...
Ana: the big accomplishment is that she is potty trained. She just turned 2 in July. It was hard at first but thanks to a friend we didn't even use pull-ups of course there were accidents, lots of them for a few days, but it only took a weekend! Now, I didn't take her into public or anything for about a week just in case she would have had an accident... She also copies Belle a ton and that has it's good moments and it's bad moments...
Owen: is on the path to walking taking 7-8 steps at a time and usually doesn't crawl to much anymore and chose to walk... He currently has 4 teeth and is pushing threw 4 more.. so then I project in the next week he'll have 8 teeth... He does good with teething though so I can't complain... It's fun to see his personality come out... He sets his mind to get something and he goes after it... He is super strong I can't believe how strong he is.
On a side note we are planning to visit Michigan for Christmas we are unsure of the exact dates but once we have them we'll send an email out. We also occasionally send out text pictures so if you have a phone that will receive them and want them please give us your cell number... Of course we will still send them out via email.
We hope you all are doing well and you've been in our prayers..
Love from all of us
