Busy Times!

Wow, Christmas and New Years flew by so fast!!!! It is funny how fast time seems to fly when you have children. They grow so fast, it really makes you realize just how fast and brief our moments are with them.

I don't really have any news to post. Honestly, I was just sick of seeing the snow pictures from the last post, so I needed do something!!!

Real Estate is finally picking up! Shocking but true! I have two closing next week, and one is on one of my listings! yeah! A Crossgates house, in my neck of the woods. So I hope that this is a sign of things to come. I'm getting a bunch of calls about my other listings, so I think we will start to see progress.

Homeschooling is going good. I'm trying to plan a weekend trip for Hali & I to explore a subject that we've studied. Easier said than done, but I'm sure I'll think of something soon. She is such a joy. I'm still praying about whether to continue homeschooling next year, or putting them all at one private school. It's a very hard call. Hayden LOVES his school, but it doesn't go past 6th grade, and Hali is way past that. I'm just waiting for my answer.

I'm sticking with my New Years diet! Do far, so good. 15 pounds since Jan 5th. Hard work, but I feel great. Being busy with work helps keep my mind off things.

Chris' birthday is next week! 37 and as cute as ever.

Hadley LOVES her new room, now that she finally gets to sleep in it! I'm afraid I put it off until last, and used it as a store room after the remodel. I cleared it out this weekend. She plays in it nonstop. I've noticed the last 2 days Hayden has stayed away from guitar hero, and instead has played with Had in her room. Who knew? If I had known, I would have cleared it out a month ago. I can hear their giggles echoing throughout the house. They play so well together. I hope it stays that way.

The house in Crossgates that I sold was to a brother and sister who have decided to move in together in their golden years, to take care of each other. To watch them interact was so sweet. They seems to get along wonderfully. I can only pray that my kids will love each other like that when their time comes. That is the main reason we had three children. We wanted to be sure that our kids would have each other when we were no longer here. Both of Chris' parents are only children, and my dad lost his only brother a few years back. We wanted to be sure that our kids would have each other because you never know what God has in store.

Well, enough rambling. I'm off to bed! It's late and I've got a home inspection in the morning. Until next time! Here are pictures taken in November of us getting Had's room ready!
