Tell God Your Plans...and Listen to Him Laugh.

That's a quote I think about often. Or at least it goes something like that.

We are still working out a lot of details regarding our next steps. We sold the house. We're going live with my in-laws while we build a house. However, before we can build...we need to pick a builder. That's where the planning comes in...long long stories that would just bore and reader...so I'll leave it that we're close to finding a builder on our piece of dirt...sometime in the near future.

With all that said...our life is like a fire drill everyday.

Packing, cleaning, talking about house plans, more packing, more talking, etc. It's exhausting. Throw in the fact that I gave Danny a bug that caused him to have blowouts all weekend, and then he picked up a cold from me as well. What the heck? I'm on vitamins and he's on vitamins, and we were just knocked out.

Me, I don't care so much. Danny on the other hand, it tears me apart to hear him whimper because his belly is all torn up and he's not interested in drinking fluids and all he did was poop!

Lots of random thoughts though.

March 9th marked the two year anniversary of finding out I was pregnant with Angela. What a journey we have had as a family. I am still amazed by Danny. That smile. That laugh. That snuggle. We are still having so much fun with him...which is why the blog has suffered a bit. Between the packing and everything else, whatever time I have left during the day is spent with Danny....and then my pillow.

We close on the 30th....and after we move in with my in-laws...I am hoping our life will settle for the next several months...and the blog will pick back up again!

Homeless...

Ok, we're not really homeless, but that has a has a bit more flair. We sold the house today. We signed some papers today and will have to sign a few more tomorrow. She'll have an inspection in the next 7-days and then BAM, March 30th...we're out.

Wow. Crazy stuff.

The house was up for just barely two weeks by owner....

So Many Smiles

Everyday, Danny gives us grins like this...He is such a happy baby. I'd like to think that our fabulous parenting has something to do it...but we'll just count our blessings before getting ahead ourselves.

Danny in his jumperoo!


Original Video - More videos at TinyPic

Happy Valentines Day!


A year ago on Valentine's Day we had our first ultrasound with Danny. He was just an itty-bitty little jelly bean!


To celebrate, I took video of him jumping in his Rainforest Jumper, that he absolutely LOVES. Not to sound redundant, because I know I've said it before...but what a difference a year makes! This Valentine's Day was extra sweet. We are so in love with our little boy. The joy he gives us, well, there is just not enough time in the day, or words in the dictionary. He is our everything.

Some New Danny Pics!

Danny has been so good this week while we've been cleaning the house and getting stuff done. these top two pictures are of him laying on the bed today watching me fold clothes. He gives me these great smiles, so I pull out the camera, only so he can then give me blank stares. The camera seems to confuse him. He better get used to it because his mama loves the camera!

The last three pictures are of him enjoying some sweet potatoes! He is getting the hang of using the spoon...to the point that he was "Spoon Diving" tonight! Seriously, I was afraid that I was going to bruise his little gums because he just kept charging me. This was our first feeding where he did not scream and cry. Progress!
