OK I still should be packing instead of blogging, but I thought it would be fun to post a picture of our house. Actually, we have packed a good bit, thanks to Jen and my mom. Over the past few days, I have learned that packing is counter productive with two toddlers. And I have realized that my house is going to be a mess no matter what I do. So, I am trying to do stuff during naps and at night. Jamie talked to the attorney today and she says things look good for closing. I sure hope so, cause I am not unpacking all this crap unless we move! bbb

I really should be packing right now. Jamie got some stuff done this weekend, but I didn't do any packing Saturday. I had to work yesterday. I have so little motivation today. Its raining and cold, so I would like to go back to bed! I haven't been sleeping well since my brain is in overdrive. But what this really boils down to is that I don't want to pack and then not close. I guess I don't have a choice. I have to pack and hope we close without problems. bbb

Thought I should post a quick blog with some good news...we have a contract on our house and we put a contract on a house in Fayetteville. It all happened so fast and it has been very stressful. We got the contract Sunday night and we should close Jan. 31. Then we will move out Feb. 3...two weeks from today. Yikes! There are so many things to consider with movers, packing, the new house needs lots of work, and the kids, Ahhhh! At least my mom has offered to help, even though she has plenty on her own plate. My poor mom, she always has to help us in crunch time. She kept the kids 2 days straight while we were looking and I know it had to wear her out. So I may not be blogging too much in the near future. Wish us luck and pray we close without any problems! BBB

Thought you might like to see a picture of Wes and his new wife, Meg! Little Wes is growing up! They are expecting a boy April 20th and are thinking of calling him Harrison. I have lots of hand me downs for the little guy. Hopefully, he will be able to get good use out of Ben's stuff!
My kids are still fighting colds. Just as Madeline got better, Ben got worse. I forgot how getting up even once in the night can make you so tired the next day. Plus, all the mommy senses kick in, making me sleep really light so I will hear them. Their patience has worn thin, too. If they don't get what they want they lay on the floor kicking and screaming...or is that normal for a 20 month old and the fits are here to stay? Yikes! bbb
