August Already!?

It cannot believe it is already August!! In a month and a half Kelly will be 1 year! Amazing. It has been a decent summer so far. Kelly is the best traveler in the world!! We went to South Carolina for my brother-in-laws wedding in July and it was very nice. I think it was the fastest wedding I have ever attended. I guess those southern weddings are quick. Not like up here where it seems to be an all-day event!! Sometimes simple is very nice. Erica looked beautiful and Eric very handsome, what a good-looking couple. (see photo) Anyhow, getting back to Kelly, she was THE BEST girl!! She slept the whole plane ride there and back, and was so good the whole trip. I am truly blessed with her. She is just so happy and such an easy going temperament. Here are a few pics from the wedding.

I guess blogging hasn't been my thing lately. It has been a pretty busy summer so far. We went to seabrook with the moeller family and stayed a couple nights, which was so much fun. We have moved to our new house, and even put in our lawn in the backyard(with some help from the parents). Thank you!!! Also Kelly is 9 months old. :)) And we have also found out some sad news...my mom has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, so I ask for prayers for her. She is going to be having surgery sometime this summer. It is a slow growing cancer called Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS). So as you can see a lot has been happening, some highs, some lows, just as life goes.

Pedialyte & Laundry...

I can't believe I am even writting a blog at this moment...I am so drained. This week has not been off to a great start at all!! It all started monday while we were at a BBQ, Kelly just freaked out and started crying. I thought maybe all the noise and people were scaring her, but come to find out later that night she got sick with the stomach virus. Oh yah, no fun at all!!! She has thrown up every day since monday night, although I think she might be on the mend this afternoon...she did manage to hold down her formula a bit earlier. Right now my poor baby is sleeping, thankfully, and I hope she sleeps this sickness out of her.

So I am pretty sure she got this from my mom, (sorry mom :) no hard feelings)...it started with my mom, and my sister got it too the same night. Then my dad and aaron the next day, and emily somewhere along the way. However poor Kelly has got it the worst. :(( By God's grace Scott nor I have come down with this bug. Let's pray it stays that way.

So besides all this mess, things have been very busy, and it's not over yet. This sunday we will get to see Scott's cousins from out of town, then wednesday Eric and Erica get here for a week, and then on the day they leave we have our new house walk-through, and then signing papers the last part of the week and then move the next week!!! Very crazy busy, but very exciting. Oh and somewhere in between all this I have to pack!! Yikes, I better get started. Hopefully net time I post, life will be a little bit more normal. Really though, what is normal??

It's getting closer

We are only 37 days away from moving into our new house! I still feels like someone should pinch me, am I still dreaming?. Once again I just have to say how blessed we are!! As far as I can tell, no other condos have sold in here where we live. Crazy! Aside from the house stuff, I had a wonderful mother's day...I was able to see both sets of parents, my sister and her fam and Scott's grandma from Arizona, his aunt and uncle and his cousin! We met in Bellevue at the Cheescake factory...yummy!! Oh and I was able to go shop at Crate and Barrel. Okay so I didn't buy anything, but I saw a lot of cool stuff. Anyhow, it was a really nice day. I hope eveyone had a great mother's day as well. :)

Here is a pic of our new house.

Update..

So we sold our condo yesterday...on paper anyway. We are going to be closing June 16th!! So exciting. God has been so good through this whole thing, and answering prayers in better ways than I can imagine. Ok so that is our house update...more house pics to come.

Kelly is 6 months old now and is doing wonderful. She is pretty off the charts for weight at 21.8 and her height is 90% on the growth chart. I am so blessed for her great health so far. She is learning to eat new foods and sit up and play. Fun stuff.

Our future house....Mabye!

Here is a picture of our future house. We will see. There is a really good chance we may get an offer this weekend. Please pray for that! Thank you. :)

Easter Fun

We had a really nice Easter with the family. It was also my dad's birthday, so it was fun to have almost everyone there. We missed you Jen and Clint! Kelly got to wear her Easter dress.
