Wow! Where to begin.....We've had two celebrations for Evie's birthday so far. She's gone on her first roller coaster and Merry Go Round at the MOA and she loved it!!! Daddy is training her well!

She is starting to laugh with, tickle, and play with Edmund a lot more these days. I so look forward to the day when they can really play together.Evie had her two year old well visit and they have projected her final height to be around 5'10". Wow! The Wharton gene is definitely more dominate in her. At this rate I'm going to be the shorty of the family at 5'5".

Edmund is so crazy cute! He is a sitter and an expert roller now. He can get up on all fours and rock back and forth. It won't be long now before he's efficient mobile. I don't think I'm ready for that, but I don't think I ever will be.He had his 6 month well visit and he's 96% in height and 80% in weight. This baby is one strong boy! I could barely keep him on the examining table. The doctor called him a "Brute", but I like what my mom calls him "A While Man".

That's all for now. I'll post more next week! Enjoy the video montage! I put it together really quick!

We're Moving!

Here is the site of our future home. We are so excited! We weren't necessarily planning on moving yet, but things just kind of started rolling and the momentum carried us to bite the bullet and build. Right now our current home is on the market and our new home should be ready to move in sometime in March. So if you know anyone who wants to by a starter home and utilize the 8K tax rebate for first time home buyers, send them my way!
So if you've been wondering about the lack of updates...this is why. We've picked a lot, style of home, interior elements, and exterior colors and in addition to that we've been getting our home up to par for showings. Please believe God with us for the right buyer to come along in a timely manner.
Other good news on the home front is that Stacy (my SIL/Christian's sister) had a beautiful baby girl (Jayde) on Saturday, Oct 3rd. I cannot wait to see pictures! She almost shared a birthday with her cousin Evie!

Evie is Two today!!!

Happy Birthday to the precious gift that came into this world two years ago! Evie girl you are such a sweet and spunky blessing from God! Your dad and I are honored to be your parents and rejoice in every milestone you reach! Keep shooting for the stars!
Love,
Momma

Remembering the days....

I remember when I was so excited to hear Evie talk that I thought the word "No" was so cute. Well, those days have passed!

September Update

Beautiful Boy!My Sweet Little Girl!!

Even though my kids are not in school, I still have this urge to go school shopping. I feel like they need five new outfits, footed jammies, and lots of books. Maybe it's the cool nights, or it could just be good marketing by Target and Kohl's.

Our new routine is kicking off next week. We'll have HomeMaker's on Tuesdays! PTL!!! ECFE on Thursdays and hopefully a few workouts the other days.

Evie is a spit-fire! I went to Barnes and Nobles tonight and was looking in the parenting section. They have about 200 books on "Spirited" and "Strong Willed" children.

Here are some of the titles:

"The Strong Willed Child", "Toddlers Who Run the Show", "Time Out for the Aggressive Toddler", "Weathering the Toddler Storm", "You Can't Make Me"

I just laughed at the abundance. I didn't see any titles that said "How to deal with your phlegmatic child" or "What to do if your child is the life of the party". Anyways, Evie is doing great! Testing the boundaries like crazy, but I wouldn't change her for the world! She's so awesome!

Edmund is so strong and getting so big! I can't get over how physical he is already! He's a great sleeper at night and okay for naps. He is eating a ton! We might start cereal soon. He is my angel baby!

Christian just had a two week break from school and it was awesome! He will be done next August, so only one more year to go!

My B-day was fabulous!!! Thanks Honey! I slept in, went to Starbucks for my favorite latte and book reading, then shopping for kiddos' school clothes and home to celebrate with friends and a fabulous Chocolate Coke Cake that Christian made for me. It was a great day!
