Just Some Updates

We had a contract to sell our house in conway, but after several delays at the VERY end of the closing process, we had to terminate the contract.  Back to square 1.  We did several things to upgrade the house while it was under contract per the buyer's request, including a brand new roof.  So, spread the word:  1501 square feet, brand new roof, new AC (installed April 2011,)  fha compliant, 3 bed, 2 bath, walk in master closet, fridge included (along with stove, dishwasher, and disposal,)  1 car garage, fenced back yard with a shed, walking distance to Julia Lee Moore Elementary.  $107,900. Contact Donny Marple with McDowell Properties.  Go!  Go!

Langley has a pretend "pink house" and talks about it constantly.  As in, I eat waffels at my pink house!      I have a bear at my pink house!  I tell daddy I spill my drink at my pink house!  I told her the other day I can't wait to visit her pink house.  She told me it was just a fun game.

We are surviving 3, but we have had our moments.  Attitude.  Inability to communicate all her feelings.  Frustration.  Preferences.  Testing boundaries.  But, there are good moments.  Dancing.  Funny stories.  Library books.  Lots of hugs and kisses.  Singing.  Oh, and sleeping past 6 am!

Aubrey still only has 2 teeth.  She naps and sleeps like a champ.  She smiles at everyone everywhere we go.  She wants to stand and walk, but is just not there yet.  She loves bath time, especially when we bathe them together! Her language is hilarious.  Her babble totally has inflection, pauses, just like a real conversation with no real words.

Josh is busy recruiting and planning team camp.  We are enjoying our afternoons and evening together and getting to grill and be outside.  I really like this time of the year.

I Love Mother's Day

I am so blessed to be a mommy to these two! (Isn't the AC unit a a nice touch to this picture?  Ha.)

We've done nothing out of the ordinary today, but it's been so nice.  It's a day I always pause and give thanks for the gift of motherhood.  It's hard.  It's a huge responsibility.  It's humbling.  It's often thankless.  But I'll treasure these girls forever!

I also pause and pray for those who hate mother's day.  Maybe they long for motherhood or have lost a child, or have lost their mother. You are not forgotten.

I'm so grateful for my mother, grandmothers, and mother in law.  Today, I celebrate them and the impact they continue to have on my life and in the life of my daughters! Happy mother's day!

Random Phone Pics

Sent these sister pics to Josh while he was gone.

The Lord has equipped me in many ways to raise girls.  Braiding hair is not one of those ways.  At least she's 3 and thinks it looks fab :-)

Serious breakfast faces.

Pure joy.

My lunch dates.  He did eventually put down the phone and she did eventually  start whining and yelling.

Afternoon Fun

Langley and I played outside yesterday afternoon while Aubrey finished her nap.  She played on her vehicles and mowed and we chased henry and played tag.  All that fun resulted in Langley havinga huge blister on each of her feet due to wearing her crocs on the wrong foot and running for an hour.  Mom of the year.  I'm not even going to try putting shoes on her today, because I know it would hurt :-(
