Getting Unpacked!

Oh my goodness! NEVER EVER make a move across the US right after having a baby! I ended up holding Thaddeus for a little this afternoon and fell asleep on the couch with him! First little nap I have had since, uh, well, I guess the hospital! Slept in the car, but that's not the same! I really wanted to have alot of the kitchen un packed, but i only got half the cupboards cleaned out! Oh well! That's life! ;o) The kids have been really good considering what we put them through! We went back to the hotel tonite and got our suitcases and they were like, we are going to take them to the new house, right? They have been running around and exploring the house and yard and everything! They seem to really like their new home! They have asked for some people back in Iowa and told them we can write them, but to far to go visit them right now.
i am so dead right now! But love LOVE the house! We are running into a little problem. We were a LITTLE spoiled with our closet space in Iowa, and not so much here. BUT, I am NOT complaining! It will just take me a little longer to figure out where to put everything and good way to condense even more! :o) The kids pretty much have the upstairs to themselves. The kids rooms are up there, but a nice landing that will have the games and bookshelf. Then there is the play room with 2 sky lights, SWEET!!!
My parents are coming out here tomorrow. I told the family that I didn't want any help right now, that we just need to be left alone to settle and get used to everything. Then my mom calls me and says, hey dad and I are coming whether you want us to or not! You came out here when I broke my arm with the 3 kids and cooked and clean for us, so we are going to come out and help you! I was ticked, but fine now! :O) So they will be here sometime tomorrow, and will leave either Mon or Tues.
Took some pics of the kids and the scenery on the way out here, but haven't had a chance to download them to Curt's computer yet.
It is so nice and quiet where we are! LOVE IT!!!!! We are about 10 minutes from town, but way off the road. BUT depending on what time of day you leave, that 10 min trip could take you 45 min! But I kinda know when and when not to go out! Gonna figure out some back ways to get into town too. That sounds so funny, get into town! :O) It is absolutely beautiful out here! Come visit us! Just give me another month or so to get the house somewhat in order! ;o) it may take me longer, who knows! LOL
Will try to get some pics posted soon! Can't promise anything though! :O)

I can't even begin to imagine how tired you must be. I moved with a 6 week old - so at least I was fully recovered (physically anyway) :-)
So glad you are loving the house - can't wait to see more pix!
Enjoy your help and get some rest!!!

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

North or be Eaten...

Wow what an AWESOME book!!!!!!!!! I don't know where to begin, so I am just going to write the "preview" from the back of the book! ;o) North or be Eaten is by Andrew Peterson and this happens to be the 2nd one in this series. First the found themselves On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. Now they must make their way North! Or Be Eaten... Janner, Tink, and Leeli Igiby thought they were normal children with normal lives and a normal past. But now they know they're really the Lost Jewels of Anniera, heirs to a legendary kingdom across the sea, and suddenly everyone wants to kill them. In order to survive, the Igibys must flee to the safety of the Ice Prairies, where the lizard-like Fangs of Dang cannot follow. First however, they have to escape the monsters of Glipwood Forest, the thieving Stranders of the East Bend, and the dreaded Fork Factory. But even more dangerous is the jealousy and bitterness that threaten to tear them apart, and Janner and his siblings mus
