1 more week!

Until Coli Bally Doodle All the Day (you didn't know that was his full name? huh) turns one! Here is Colin just one year ago:

We're Home!!

So though we've been MIA for a while we have been working hard and without internet for a few days.
We are in the new house!!! Many thanks to our friends Katie and Keith Sapp and RT (and his wife for loaning him out:) for all of their help. And a HUGE thanks to Seth's brother Grant who may never speak to us again for fear of us making him do/haul/carry something.
We have some much more to do and yet we've done tons of things already! New outdoor lights, new indoor lights, paint, paint, paint, new shleves, a new door between the mater and bath, and there's more!!

We'll get pictures up soon... If we find the cord, and the camera!!
Happy Turkey week!!!

Praying

This morning my cousin M had her third beautiful baby boy Thomas. Unfortunately Thomas was born with an undiagnosed diaphragmatic hernia. From what I've read on the internet it looks like Thomas has a best case serinario, but it still isn't great.
I was never a overly religious child, in fact I wasn't ever that spiritual. Until I had children and knew there must be something greater than me, because seriously have you seen my children? They are perfectly little imperfections. During the time right after Colin was born, I looked hard for a reason. Why did this happen to my child, why didn't the doctors catch it in any of my millions of ultrasounds, what is my next step, what does the future hold for us? I know how my cousin is feeling and it is killing me that I can't hold her. It is throwing in my face many of the feelings I knew were coming towards me with Colin's birthday next month. I don't have any of the answers for my cousin, but I do know that she needs all the prayers she can get. Please, Please pray for this baby brother and his family, they could really use it. And kiss your little ones or big ones a little more tonight:) I know I sure did!

2.5

Did you see the date? Clearly I didn't because I didn't realize that Baby John is two and a half today until Baby Center sent me an email!
From our humble beginnings:



To our hilarious present:




We've come a long way and I thank God for you everyday my little bugaboo! I love you to the moon and back times a million! Happy half birthday John Michael!

Question of the day..

So do you wake up a sleeping two year old because there's a loader in basically his backyard? I know the answer is no, but begeesish he would be loving this. On a side note, seriously after 5 years of living here you are FINIAL LY leveling the ground behind us TWO WEEKS before we move? Maybe I'll take pictures... Or keep packing 4 boxes now:)
