This is a place for family & friends updates. If there is an issue you have with me that’s fine but all I ask is that you email me privately.

Not much time to type – too many things to do in the house and projects galore but we did sneak in some pool time this last week!

Busy busy unpacking and trying to get settled but here’s a few pics ..real house pics will be someday when I feel like we are finally settled and there isn’t crap everywhere I’m walking 2-3x a day now with kiddo and our Neeva girl. Yes, we finally got our dog up here and she’s a sweetheart. I’ll do an entry someday all about her first few days and how amazingly sweet she is. Patrick goes on the walk with us during the evenings every night and walks her in the morning before work, I pick up the mid-day walking shifts. We have met lots of our neighbors and everyone is very welcoming. There are tons of kids around Just across the street we have a couple our age that have a little girl 3 weeks short of Braysen and 3 houses down there’s a little boy about 3 1/2 weeks shy of Braysen! That’s not mentioning all the kids to say the very least. Anyhow, we are sooo happy to be in our new place finally settling down to start our family years somewhere.

Some pics of Braysen – he’ll be 5 months the 23rd!!!

up close shot while working on crawling

crawling position!

i’m tired of crawling and pics mom!

and his latest face he makes – he sucks in his lips and blows out his cheeks like a chipmunk! (not exactly the best pic quality – oops!)

and a pic of the beginnings of kiddos paint job – hopefully will be done this weekend but we started last week. (we have to paint at night when kiddo goes to sleep so our painting is taking us forevvver!) the bottom is a fun green (not everyones nursery color and we LOVE it!!) and then we’ll have a border (you can see the tape for the border) and then the top part will be a lighter shade of that same green. The ceiling is a nice calm blue that we’ll be adding clouds to also. i’ll be more excited to post final pics of how it all works out together tho! this is taken of the little nook in his room that we’ll be putting his dresser / changing table.

and here’s kiddos bath in the works – ocean theme

talk to everyone soon~ it’s kind of nice having so much to do really and neighbors to mingle with for hours

I posted the whole story on eqpeople (if you have access to the women’s forum) about the house situation but all has worked out finally!!!

Things have worked themselves out after ditching the shitty lender!! The new one was able to work us through fast! We got early move in papers from our builder so we’ll be moving in tomorrow thankfully! Sadly, I cancelled our comcast install that was for today last week *sighs* and when I called today, they told me they can’t get out now until the 13th soooo we’ll be out of internet / tv etc. *sighs again* I’ll be busy unpacking, finally working on kiddos nursery and if it’s nice i’ll go swimming to pass the time but it’s still sucky to be w/o the net! It’s amazing how much we’ve gone through but we’re happy it’s worked itself out Now to get things rehooked up (I cancelled all our utility installs, blinds apointments, washer / dryer order etc. last week). Patrick will be driving down this weekend to Nevada to pick up our Neeva puppy so it’ll be a busy week!

back to finishing packing & cleaning!
Talk to everyone soon and i’m sure with pics!

hugs
