For Sale

After about a year of talking about it Pat and I have finally decided to put our house on the market. With all the new additions to the family, we have run out of space. So, I'm guessing with the market how it is in a year, if I'm lucky, we will sell our house and find a new one. Here's hoping it's faster than a year.


We went to the park last weekend, the weather has just been lovely. We all enjoyed some ice cream and then went to the park.

Kendyl just loved running around and watching the ducks. She got really close and tried to give them some of her ice cream. Thankfully she didn't fall in the water, daddy was close by to make sure that didn't happen.

Lia loved playing in the toy jeep at the playground. Kendyl wanted all of us to get in it, so we did. I bet it would have been a funny picture, to bad there was no one there to take it.

Christian continues to run track and he's doing really well in the 400 meter. He's also running the 800 meter and doing okay in that.

And here he is coming in second place.....oh the darn pole was in the way and I wasn't fast enough. It's a funny picture, although Christian is not amused.

Yesterday we had some people come by and look at the house, so Kendyl, Lia, Pat, Rumor (the dog) and I went to the park to have a picnic and play. Again, the weather was great.

Yeh Rockford!

Way to run Christian. Christian's track team won the 1st meet of the season (I'm not sure if it's called a season or not). And although it was freezing outside and lasted forever, I was a proud mom cheering on my baby boy (sorry Christian, but you are still my baby).

Here's a couple of pictures of my track star...mugging for the camera in true Christian style.

Gloomy Saturday!

Well today sure is a gloomy day. We've managed to keep ourselves very busy.

Pat gave the girls basket rides, while doing laundry (hopefully soon we won't have all these stairs to run up and down).

We met our realtor and looked at 4 houses. All of them were very nice. Pat and I both really liked one of them and we are hoping to make it our new home. Now all we have to do is sell our house....I'm guessing it will take us at least six months, but I am hoping not.

Our realtor told us that our kids were perfect and asked if Kendyl was always so happy (what a good little actress she is). Kendyl kept asking if we were going to see more house, and letting us know that she really wanted to see more. Our agent said that is the first time he's ever heard a two year old ask to look at more houses, that's my girl.

Below is a picture of the girls riding in the car. We took plenty of snacks and things really did work out nicely.


Pat quickly decided to start the painting, as the house is going on the market next Saturday. Lia decided to give him a helping hand.

Playing around

We had a wonderful weekend. The girls and I spent about 3 hours outside on Saturday, just playing around. We got a new sandbox and that was the hit of the day. It was very hard to drag Kendyl inside for the day.

Kendyl is very brave, she climbs all the way to the top of the slide and then slides down. It's pretty tall and makes me super nervous, but she does a good job.

Lia's favorite place is the swing. She will swing for hours if I let her.

We also got a short walk in and I couldn't resist taking a couple of pictures of Kendyl helping Lia walk. What a great big sister she is....she is the little mommy.

It's been a very busy couple of weeks. Work is still going well for me. Things are calming down a bit, so I am able to have some free time to enjoy playing with the kids (big and small). Christian and I went to the spa together over the weekend, it was pretty funny (I'm not sure that he was as impressed as I was). Pat and I have been looking for houses and are thinking that our house may be on the market as early as next week (provided he gets all the stuff done that needs to be done). We've just outgrown this house, which is to bad because the yard is fun for the kids...but there are a lot of nice houses around here for sale. We won't move far.

Congratulations Lia!
