snow... Snow... SNOW

 

 

 

We have gotten around 12 inches of snow in the past 24 hours, and Josh couldn't wait to get out and play. So while Ben dug us out of the house, Josh went out and played in the snow (and tried to help Ben shovel a bit). He could barelly walk, one because of the snow suit, and two because of the depth of the snow, but he still had a great time!

Afterwards, he got to have some hot chocolate and marshmallows. Notice the lovely hat hair in the picture! We have to enjoy this time here in the snow, as it will be our last in this house. As of last night, we accepted an offer on this house after only showings! And all 4 showings resulted in offers! We consider ourselves very lucky!

New House

Ben and I found a house that we fell in love with, and decided to go ahead and buy it. We are super excited and nervous at the same time. We close on it in about a month, and we have started the process of decluttering the current house to have it ready to show. We took Joshua to the new house, and he was very excited, though for some reason he thinks he's moving to his friend Erin's house. Guess he'll figure out that one when we move in.

Packing while pregnant is neither easy nor fun, but I know several of my friends who have done it, and I can't imagine why I can't. So, we are taking the leap of faith and moving out of Perry township over to Franklin township. In the end, this is what we wanted for our family.

Random Post

Just thought I would post a small update about the goings on here. We had Erin for a night this month while Paula and Ryan brought home Jacob. So in the morning, I got to style Erin's hair, which was my first time doing a girls' hair. Poor girl, she was my guinea pig.



We also celebrated Christmas with my grandmother and sister and brother-in-law in Crown Point this month. Melissa got Josh legos, which I have had a lot of fun with and reliving my own childhood. Today's newest structure is shown below.


Other than that, not much has been going on. I'm half way through the pregnancy now, and getting more excited about meeting the newest little addition to our family!

Christmas in Florida!

The three of us went down to Naples, Fl this Christmas and met up with my mom's side of the family and my sister and Steve. We had a wonderful time! Josh loved the beach! He would spend all day there just digging in the sand and running in the ocean. The only mishap that happened was that my brother-in-law got stung by a sting ray, which apparently is very painful! We had a great time, and it was truly the first vacation I can remember in a long time that was relaxing!

New Year's Eve

 

 

 

The Wagner family came over on New Year's Eve and celebrated with us. We made homemade pizzas, and the kids helped make their own as well. We made the dough into gingerbread people shapes for them to decorate, which they enjoyed doing. Then, while the kiddos were watching Wall-E, the adults got to play Euchre, and I won't talk about the winners, becuase I am sure they cheated somehow.

Happy New Year everyone!
