Owen 3 1/2 Months

So these are just too cute not to share. We also heard from our loan officer, Darla today. They need Dan's pay stub from tomorrow (even tho he already got paid today bc of direct deposit?) So once they get that tomorrow then we should be good to submit everything for the loan {again}.... Looks like it will be thursday closing, keys friday. Which is good because Dan basically scheduled everything one week later for the move so that would work. I wouldn't mind a wednesday closing so we could clean a little more and such. Either way, hopefully it will get wrapped up this week.

we have a lot of meltdowns when abby is at school. she just doesn't handle it very well...especially since i'm kind of busy with our move, i can't really take the time to play and entertain her. soon girly , soon.










she didn't want a nap...

storm's a brewin! and we barely missed it. i sure hope it hits some time soon.



stormy skies are my favorite. SO beautiful.


sweet sisters!!!





























this is what 4 kids is like. hectic.

too bad we didn't get a good one.

because then andrew hurt abby. i tire of that!!!!



wrong focus. dan thinks its cool. i think he is just being nice. 




we get this look a lot.

and we had a LOT of this today. he refused lunch (potato cheese/bacon soup, and dinner - hawaiian haystacks. we were beyond frustrated. what do you do?! he will wake up everyone in the middle of the night if he is hungry.)










we got one!!! good thing too, because we asked an older lady to take a picture of all of us, and she didn't snap the button once. we got NO pictures. UGH. come on! its just a button!!!!!






SO today we took a drive up the Alpine Loop. It was beautiful. It was a great break from our kids fighting and acting naughty at home. seriously. sundays have become a huge trial for us, it seems our kids always act up on sundays more than usual. its exhausting. its frustrating. The fall colors are coming. this is a beautiful place we live. We live so closely to these beautiful mountains. We were supposed to have been moved this past weekend. our loan had a hiccup. it should be closing soon, and then the move will come. I am enjoying the delay- its just SO much work. anyways, then come the projects. so so many projects. I am excited and exhausted at the thought. I had a dream last night that i got a job as an aid at a school, in a special needs room (a job my mother had for years), and I kept falling asleep, i was just SO tired. SO tired. I can see why i would have that dream. Life is tiring sometimes. but don't get me wrong- i love my life. even with the trials i have, i will move forward with faith and confidence in His plan for me and my family. He lives, He LIVES who once was dead. He lives my every living Head. I know things will work out. I know things are hard, and thats to help us grow. I know we can get through it. I know. SO i keep my hope for brighter days ahead. and I try to see the sunlight in each day i have. there is SO much to see. So many wonderful things every day to be thankful for. I am Happy. sometimes i may be upset or frustrated or angry, but I don't let it keep me down. I am here, and I will be happy. I know how important it is for my family to have a happy home, and life is so much sweeter when there is peace at home. Goodnight.
