We're alive!

You almost thought this blog was going out of business, didn't you? Well, probably no one even reads it anymore besides you, Mom. But, why not make an update? :) We have been moved in for just about 3 weeks now. It's finally starting to feel like home. For the first week or so, it was an adjustment, as all life changes usually are! Finding places for things and decorating is slowly coming along. There is so much work to be done still (like putting an entire yard in, and some trees too!). We are loving it though. The space is wonderful, the newness of everything is amazing, and the fact that we designed it from the ground up is something special. It's definetly our house! In other news, my Dad turned 60 years old yesterday. Wow, it seems crazy to type 60 years old! I'm sure it feels even stranger for him. We are celebrating this weekend with cake and pizza with everyone, including the grandkids, and a Griffin's hockey game downtown. Pretty low key, but Dad is a low key sort of guy. Caleb is growing and learning more everyday. He is always busy, and always talking, but those are good things, right? He is enjoying school and loves to work with his Dad every chance he gets. Luke is growing fast as well. He still isn't walking, but will walk holding your hand (when he feels like it!). We're praying that he takes those steps soon. It's getting hard carrying a 27 lb kid around! He is a joy though too. His bright smile and loving personality make him alot of fun. It's neat to watch the boys together too. They're either yelling and crying at eachother, or kissing and hugging. I just love my boys! So, that's the update. I would love to say that my posts will become regular again, but I don't want to get your hopes up. I post things as they come, or when I have a free moment. (I'm posting today because BOTH boys are napping!! This NEVER happens!)

It's been too long!

Well, it's been forever and a day since I've written a new post! Ok, more like over a month. The holidays, the boys, and the new house have kept us busy. The house is nearly done- about another week and we will be moving! It's crazy to think that this time has finally come. This week floors are being laid, sinks and toilets being installed, any maybe even some of our light fixtures. Overall, it's been a fun experience. It's been so neat to watch how a house comes together, and put our own stamp on this particular house. The fact that we've chosen everything about the house makes it our own. It will be strange to be living in a brand new house, but I think we'll get used to it pretty fast. :) I hope to update more as we settle in to our life in our new home!
