Sold!





Well, we finally sold our home. It has been the longest 6 weeks of our lives! For the last 6 weeks we have been living in a house while making it look unlived in. Open houses every weekend and countless showings wore us pretty thin.

I have learned that when selling my home I turn into a crazy version of myself in an effort to make my ready for showings. How many times did I tell the kids, "don't play with that we have a showing today." Or, 'whatever you do don't make a mess, we have a showing later." All things considered, I am proud of my kids and totally understand that this was a difficult time for them as well. They did so well!!

A few days before our home sold I remember telling my husband that I was ready to walk away from it all. I felt as though my life was upside-down and was feeling unable to cope. But by the grace of God just as I was at the end of my rope it sold!

Now onto packing and looking forward to more space for our growing family!

The beginning!




So here goes....

I hate starting I never know what to write and I type and delete and sit in front of my computer staring at the screen stumped. So I titled this blog, "Sleep is so overrated." Why, because we chose to become parents!

I can't believe how much are lives have changed since our first son William came into the world. Since then, we have had a daughter and another son only 4 months ago. Moved once, and about to move again......sigh! I'm exhausted just thinking about it!

I have to say I don't know how parents can have more than three children, we feel so overwhelmed with the three that we have!

The picture above is my latest reason for being sleep deprived! Joel, a beautiful almost five month old who sleeps on his terms and refuses to be put on a schedule for longer than 3 days at a time! Its a good thing he is cute!!!
