Sick of being "sick and tired"


Ok...We've really got to stop looking at houses!!! Just when we find one we like, we come across one we like better! I think people at Bob's office are going to throw him a party when we finally decide on one!!! In our travels after church this morning, we came across a townhouse that flows nicer and is a bit larger than any single family home we've liked. They are brand new. The new phase wouldn't be finished until around May, which is when our lease is up anyway. We like that the one we want would be an end unit, there wouldn't be much yard, but just enough, we think, for a grill and a swingset, which is more than we can say for any other townhouse we have come across. We aren't yard people anyway. We like to be outside, but we don't like the upkeep. It is set up with two masters...one on the lower level and one on the upper level. There is another bedroom and a loft upstairs, so basically the girls would have reign over the upper level. There are so many ways we could set it up! Here's a link..... http://www.flemingwoods.com/floorplan. We are interested in the Bedford II.

We are going to a dinner party at the home of our new Sunday school teachers. I ejoy company, but I really hate making new friends! Whatever happened to the outgoing high school/college social butterfly I used to be??? Oh well. I'm looking forward to it anyway. They are a great group of people and I guess I just have to "jump in".

Not much else going on this week. Will be cleaning next Tues getting ready for Wawa's visit. Can't wait!!!! Hopefully we are all well. We've all been sick with some sort of bug that just keeps making the rounds! I think Annabelle is finally feeling better, I'm icky, but I think if I can get through a night without coughing I will be fine shortly. Now to keep Bob from getting it. Katie had it a while ago, so hopefully she can avoid getting it again.

Hope all is well. Love you all!

The "bug"






Maybe we will all be well before the winter is over. Can't seem to get rid of whatever bug keeps making the rounds in our house. I think Lysol needs to make a "bug" bomb to disinfect sick houses! Annabelle has pinkeye. It's moved to both eyes now. Poor thing! She looks so miserable. She snuggled a lot today and Katie wasn't too happy about sissy getting most of the attention! The doc said she should be fine in 3-5 days and it's been 2.

Beginning to count the days till Wawa gets here...hope she's ready!

We had Fall Festival at church on Saturday. It was a fun alternative to trick or treating. There were games and a pony ride and hay ride and, of course, CANDY!!! The girls had a great time. I've posted some picks of their festivities. The one of Annabelle in her bathing suite (don't ask) is our little cook making mac and cheese. I can't wait for a bigger kitchen so it'll be easier to let the girls help cook...they both LOVE to help. If I won't lift Katie up while I'm cooking so she can help, she will go get the stool herself and climb up so she can reach the counter! It's so cute!

Anyway, I think that's about all for now. Just been taking it easy this week trying to get better. Love you all!
