Bullet Point Update

Things are way too hectic around here for me to be able to sit down and keep up with my blogging!  I am over a month behind on my blogroll.  I'm trying to keep up, but I am so far behind.  I haven't even done the babies One Year post yet, and they just passed their 13th month.....

Here's a quick bullet point update of what's been going on in our neck of the world:

  • We all had colds over the Christmas holiday.
  • Once we got over the colds, Rylee had some sort of stomach virus that included a 3:00am full on puke in her pack n' play followed by 2 weeks of extreme diarrhea.  Oh the joy!  We were going through 3-4 outfit changes every day there for awhile.
  • The babies have colds AGAIN, so we have lots of fun, slimy snot.  Rylee likes to lick hers if I don't catch it in time and she's got a good stream going.  Ayden on the other hand, wipes his by rubbing both of his fists across his nose and all over his face, resulting in snot covering both hands and his entire face.  Disgusting.  Ayden also has a cough this time around, although it's not all the time, so I'm not sure it's anything to worry about yet.
  • Last week I looked at 6 potential houses to rent in 2 days.  Between Tony and I, we looked at 11 houses over the last 2 weeks.  What a stressful process!  It was race trying to get our applications in before anyone else!  We finally did get a house that we both like and will suit our family.  It's actually bigger than our house now.  The best part is that it is only 18 minutes from Tony's office rather than the hour and a half+ that we currently are.
  • So now I am busy trying to pack, which isn't going very well with two babies that aren't napping well.
  • Our official move in date is February 1st, but if the current renters are out sooner, we may get the keys sooner.  That's what we are hoping for, so we can have the next two weekends to move instead of trying to get it all done in one weekend the following week.  Super Bowl Sunday kind of gets in the way for Tony this weekend on Feb. 1st.
  • The sale of our house is set to close on February 13th.  Looks like it's actually going to happen!!!  Yay!
  • Oh!!  We have TWO walkers!  Ayden started walking a day earlier than Rylee, but she has passed him up by being a little better at it than him.  She is also coming to a stand without the aid of a piece of furniture or person now.  Ayden still needs to climb to a stand by holding onto something.
  • Speaking of climbing...Ayden is starting to figure out how to do that.  He is keeping us on our toes!
Okay, I think that's the major things going on around here lately.  I may be behind in my blogging, both writing and reading, but I wanted you all to know I'm still here!!

Here's a few pictures of the kiddos:

Our big boy!

She is so proud of her new walking ability!

We took advantage of a nice day for a walk

  1. Goodness you have a lot going on! So glad that you found a house that you both like that's closer to Tony's work AND your house is going to sell. The twins get cuter and cuter each picture you post, I can't believe they're walking already!

    1. Thanks Amie! We are so, so, so busy, but I'm still praying for you and that you are soon to have your own little one on the way!

  3. Congratulations on finding a house! I can't even imagine trying to pack and move with those two adorable faces distracting you - and probably getting into a few things they shouldn't now that they are walking. I'm sure Tony is excited about his much shorter commute. What an exciting time for your family!

    1. Oh they pretty much get into everything they shouldn't! lol I hope it's an easy move, but I know Tony and I will have our share of fights coming our way, and it won't be made easier with two little ones! Hopefully, it's just over and done with quickly!

  6. YEAH, A POST!!! I've been patiently, trying to anyway, waiting for word of how things are progressing! Uncle B asked if Tony was going to be able to walk to work like he wanted. I'm assuming with an 18 minute commute, he will probably just drive and save the extra time for those precious little ones!!! They are just adorable and I sure hope they get over their colds quickly and that you and Tony stay healthy!!! Lots of stress and work ahead over the next couple of weeks! Prayers that all goes smoothly and quickly and that this move is just the perfect fit you have all been wanting!!! Sending loads of love and hugs!!!

  8. Oh yeah Izzy is all about licking the snot that runs down to her mouth if we don't wipe it in time. GROSS!

    Yay for walking! And for your new place! Good luck with packing and moving- that is never fun.
