We have Moved!

Hello all,

Just thought I will share that we close on our house on the 30th of September and we have already moved into a three bedroom apartment.

Major Update!

Sorry for not keeping this up to date. We have been super busy. We went on vacation the beginning of June, Benny had his birthday in late July, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Leslie and Uncle Steve came to visit, and we sold our house. Plus a lot of other stuff happened too.

Yes, if you were reading carefully, you would have read that we sold our house. We are hoping to close the end of September. We have narrowed are search for a place to stay to two apartment complexes. We have been busy trying to come up with the money to get out from under our house.

So far, we have not heard anything regarding a job transfer for Brad, so keep praying. Pray also that everything falls into place (ie money, time, moving) and that Benny adjusts well to the move.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all our family and friends!

With traveling at the beginning of April, Easter came really fast this year. So fast, that I forgot to take the kids to the mall to get their picture taken with the Easter Bunny. In light of that, the above picture will have to do. Also, expect Easter cards to arrive late. Sorry about that, but we have had a lot going on.

First of all, we have made the decision that we are going to do whatever it takes to move back East. We are committed to this goal. Therefore, we will be putting our house up for sale. Brad has put in for two jobs (one in Virginia, one in Philadelphia). We have not heard back for either one as of yet, but will be trying to sell the house so that when the time comes, we won't be tied down. Please pray for us during this time. Pray for a smooth transition for the boys.

Update

Well, it is official. Our house is up for sale. Yep, the realtor came by on Saturday with the paperwork and to take pictures. She really liked what we had done (in regards to staging the house). We can now focus mainly on prepping for baby (less than 20 days away) and trying to keep the house clean. Kind of a challenge with a 2 1/2 year old. Benny has been going though a "I help" stage. We have been trying to take advantage of it as much as we can. Things don't get done very fast, but they do get done.

Baby Update

Well, I am now in my 9th month of pregnancy. At our last ultrasound (which was at the beginning of Jan.), everything looked good. They took measurements and at that time the baby weighed 5 lbs 13 oz. This of course is just a guesstimate. I have a feeling this baby will be closer to 8 lbs when he is born. They did not find the bright spot on the heart anymore and my doctor's response was "I told you you had nothing to worry about!". Everything is going well except I have been having acid reflux real bad and I am feeling a lot more aches and pains. I know I am due on Feb 20th, but I wouldn't be surprised if he comes early (but not too early according to Brad).

On another note, we met with a realtor a few weeks ago and she recommended putting our house up for sale as early as February. We had wanted to wait until after Benny's brother arrived, but our plans have changed. If we want people to take advantage of the tax credit, the earlier the better. So as you can imagine, we are very busy getting the house ready to sell and ready for another baby. Please keep us in your prayers.
