FINALLY!

So much for my goal of posting every week to two weeks! I really didn't have much to report and once I did, it has been chaotic! Our big news.....we FINALLY closed on our new house! We closed on Dec. 23rd and got immediate possession. We will have lots of space for our two little munchkins and us. Our new home is about 4 miles from where we live now. It is a two story, 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath. The only thing that it does not have that we were hoping our next house would have is a basement, but the large rec room made up for it. Andy is working on the house as we speak, and I will head over with the munchkins once they wake up from their nap. Poor little things are used to being run around so much. Between the holidays and preparing for the move, they aren't getting very much home time or any "normal" days. Hopefully on Monday we can just stay put. We are hoping to have the bedrooms painted and get our big move done next weekend (the 3rd/4th) or the weekend after (10th/11th). I'm a little overwhelmed with how much we need to get done and packing up our house and moving with two little ones, but I am looking forward to settling into our new home!

On the munchkin front...Nora can now sit up on her own for a decent length of time! Colton is not quite there yet, but we bought them new chairs to sit in (they are booster seats that can attach to a kitchen chair and used in place of a highchair) and that seems to be helping him to strengthen his core. They love to sit and play in their new chairs now. Nora tried to sit up in her rocker more than she already was and was close to flipping forward in it. I definitely need to keep a closer eye on her when she is in it now. Colton is rolling all over the place now. He still has not grasped the concept that once he rolls into something (or someone) he can't go any farther and needs to go the other way. He gets so mad. Nora just rolls from her back to belly and hasn't gotten from her belly to her back yet, but she is getting so close! They are both desperately trying to cut their two front teeth threw. We are ready for them to also! We could use a night of uninterrupted sleep again.

Time to get some stuff packed up and head to the new house! We will keep you posted on the move, the best we can!
