Where have I been?!
Back in the day, a friend told me when one doesn't blog as much, it's not because they don't have anything to share...they are just too busy living their life. That theory fits me right now.
We have been in the house about 3.5 months, and we are loving it. Here is a list of general thoughts and updates as of late:
Chris is finally working for his family's company and enjoying it very much.
My grandparents are in good health.
My girls are a handful, but they even things out by being so cute.
The dogs have been pretty good about the house. Nora is the only one I catch doing things like...digging up the sprinkler heads and using them as chew toys. Huskies, man...they have energy.
I am very pleased and practically finished decorating our new house. I owe it all to Target, Ikea, Hobby Lobby, and gift cards to Pottery Barn and Pier 1. It's a lovely mix of mountain cabin, farm house, and modern cottage. Focus is mainly on cabin...I am bringing Colorado (my happy place) here. It feels nice.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's were all nice, low-key, and family-oriented.
I am still wanting and waiting for snow.
I got an exercise bike with a gift card, it's coming in handy.
I have been following this little girl, Kenzie, and her journey through fighting cancer. She is 2, and her mother is an example to all of us. Faith, hope, love, and patience...I am in awe. Their story keeps our life's problems in perspective.
Adalaide went to the nutritionist today. She is up in height, and climbing slowly in weight. I have to order a special meal supplement. It is crazy expensive. Right now, it's a free trial. If Addy likes it, and it helps her, we are going to see if our insurance will cover it. Otherwise...we will have to use it like 3 times a week instead of daily or something...man, if she would just eat more! I'll give her grief for this when she's older, asking me to buy her new clothes or makeup. :P
Lorelai is stubborn, but creative and funny. She is on the verge of joining a soccer team or a gymnastics class. She has one hurdle she really needs to conquer before that can happen...but she's close.
And yes, we are still homeschooling. I feel like everyone has forgotten that. Asking me when Lorelai is going off to school quite often. No, your forced smiles and elongated "Ohhhhhh"'s don't sway me. We are going to rock it.
Ok, well, off for now. Life is good. ;)
