New Blog...

Hi all. I decided to follow Rena's lead and start our own blog. Since most of my family and friends are in CT, I thought this was a good way to stay more connected than Facebook. Don't know how often I will post, but I will try to be consistent.

The weather has been really weird. Cold one day and warm the next....don't know what to do with our clothes! If I put the summer ones away, it will get warm! Oh well. My next task is to go through the girls' clothes anyway. Need to get rid of most of Katie's 12-18 month clothes (finally!).

They are both growing so FAST! Katie is getting tall and Annabelle is getting a tad thinner and taller. I asked the preschool coordinator today about kindergarten and Annabelle will just make the cuttoff for Guilford county schools. She will be 5 on Aug 29 and the cuttoff is the 31st. She feels that Annabelle will have no problem making this transition. I can't believe I am already thinking of KINDERGARTEN!!!!! Where did the time go????

Katie is quickly arriving at the terrible twos...she is definitely pushing her limits! Dad was right when he said that a child being so cute is self-preservation....I'd kill her if she wasn't so darn cute!!!LOL She's learning so fast though. Finally talking a little. Occasionally she can put two words together and she is learning more words everyday.

Kayle (the little girl I watch during the week) is a doll. She is crawling all over the place now. I have to childproof AGAIN! She is into everything! It's fun watching her learn at that age though.

We are working on getting things started to build a house closer to Bob's work. We finally found a neighborhood that we like, a house that we like and that we can afford! One of Bob's coworkers lives there, so he already has a friend!LOL Bob is working with a mortgage broker right now and once we get financing all settled, then we will sit down with the sales agent and get the ball rolling. At this rate we are looking at April or May to move in, which is fine with us because our lease isn't up till May.

Bob is looking at going back to school for the winter term. Work has agreed to pay, so he wants to take advantage of that. He's getting antsy and really wants to get his degree, so other than being very busy, life for all is good!
