6 months

I have to say that I mustbe the worst "stay on top"of the blog blogger ever. In hamilton I tried to do a blog at least once a week so that those in Virginia could keep up with what God was doing with us...but since being back in Virginia, our lives have been such a whirlwind, there has been little spare time for anything, but remodeling. That is one major thing that I miss from our time we were in Hamilton-the simplicity and slow pace of life. Once we get into our own space again,and are finished with these renovations, a slow pace will be reinstated into our lives.

Just a few life updates since the Christmas blog-- I am now almost 30 weeks pregnant...it is crazy how fast this pregnancy has gone by. In only 10 weeks we'll have a new addition to our little family. I am excited to see her.

We closed on our new house the last week in November and the whirlwind of renovating began! We have removed wallpaper, ripped up carpet, scraped off wallpaper glue, tiled floors, laid hardwoods, put down carpet, did sheetrock repair, painted EVERYTHING, fixed plumbing, repaired 20 joist's under the house, put up trim, hooked up appliances...and probably anything else you can think of, we may have done it! Now all of our stuff has been moved in but is all still in boxes until we get all the base board and trim down. We spend every evening there working and will be glad to be able to go there and stay there without having sunch work to do!

Karis' birthday is on the 20th of this month. I cannot believe that she is going to be 3! Where has the time gone! Her party will be on the 19th for family and little princess friends:) We have to have the house put together by then since the party is at our house, so it's crunch time:) She is very excited about the party! Next month we'll have the baby shower for Miss Hosanna and our 6 year anniversary on the 19th. It is just crazy how fast the time is going by!

Needless to say, life is good. The move back home has been stretching for us personally and as a family. I am looking very forward to getting back into our own family routine, at our own house in our own space. Only a few more days...I keep telling myself that.

Until next time...
