updating...

grammie has come down a few times recently to hang out. it has been SO NICE!! the kids love having her, and i have done some fun things without kiddos!

cheese... last time, she brought two quilts for the kids. (i thought i had pics of them... and now each kid is sleeping with their new one...) jamey's has "cars", "veggie tales", "brown bear" and "dr seuss" on it. he went NUTS!!

hiding...

jamey refused to smile...

james decided to go down head first. the obvious way.

finally a cheese!

uncle dave and auntie rebecca came down to visit...

out to lunch...

after waking him up, he went right to auntie rebecca to snuggle. mind you, he won't even go to daddy when he is that tired!

opening his birthday present...

snuggling with his new dog...

cheese!

girlfriend has tumbled twice on the brick stairs. sadly, i think this means she is more like her mommy...

my sweet girl...

a busy week. a fun week. i started out the week helping a friend. she was being induced and i was her "person" in labor. she wanted to do it all natural. and, she did, in three hours! it was AWESOME!

a few playdates and a swim lesson later... on friday, some friends came over for dinner. the kids went to bed so easily and the adults got to hang out for awhile. it was so nice! saturday was fun with the swanies, and then i hung out with a girlfriend. it was so nice to just chat.

i am purging belongings and trying to decide what we moved and haven't used... and what i want to buy before we leave... to be shipped.

i found a house i LOVE in hawaii. it is a half mile from the house our friends want to move into. but, we can't do anything until we GET to hawaii about renting the house we want. so, it's available now. and seems to be perfect. and i am trying hard to trust that God is in control of where we will live and that we will end up in the perfect spot.
