Life has taken over and my blog has taken the back seat.
Summer has been wonderul. We spent a week at the beach with good friends and with Sean's family. It was a lot of fun for everybody. The boys loved the ocean and the swimming pools. And for some crazy reason while we were on vacation Logan decided to turn 3! I can't believe my baby is 3?! We had a little party for him at the beach. He said he wanted "chocolate jelly beans" for his birthday. Not sure where that idea came from but we searched high and low and found our local candy store at the mall had chocolate pudding flavored jelly belly jelly beans. He was very pleased. I'm thinking we could have skipped the cake entirely and just shoved a candle into a bowl of jelly beans.
Our life has been total chaos lately. We made the decision to sell our house in NC and move to West Virginia. North Carolina is an amazing state, but I grew up in WV and decided thats where I want to raise my boys. I have many friends from high school and college up in that are, not to mention my family will be a whole lot closer to me. My job now allows me to work from home so my office doesn't have to be in NC anymore. Its a risk, should I ever lose my job, but I felt it was a risk worth taking.
We found a house in Ona, WV that we loved so we pulled the trigger and made our offer. We are scheduled to close next week. We're still trying to sell our existing house in NC but we've had a lot of showings so I think it will sell soon. People just want a crazy cheap deal right now and we can't afford to do that. So Sean will be daddy daycare until we sell our house in NC and I'll work out of our new home in WV. In the end it will all be worth it, but getting there is an ongoing headache! Inspections, appraisals, closing attorneys, turning off utilities, turning on utilities, etc. I'm sort of glad we're moving before we sell our own home because if we were dealing with a sale on top of everything else I think I would lose my mind. I do hope our house sells very soon after we move into the new house though :)
The boys are doing wonderful. Brenden is his usual sweet self. I've been very proud at what a great big brother he his. He'll often give in and let Logan have his own way because he doesn't like his brother to cry. He shares all of his treats he gets at school with Logan. I told him last night he was a good big brother and he said "yah I know" lol
Logan is now a 3 year old. He loves his big brother. They role play all the time. One of them is always some sort of baby animal and the other is the mommy or daddy. Or sometimes they are both mommy and daddy and a stuffed animal is their child. They can literally play for HOURS having some sort of invented adventures. They have awesome imaginations. I love to just listen to their little imaginary world.
I hope to get caught up on pictures soon. My Picassa account is out of space so i'm getting some resistance from blogger when I try to upload pictures. I'll figure it out !!
