Move #1

Yes, we have moved again. This is part one of a 2 step process, I hope!! With Hailey starting school in the fall we decided that we would like to live in a different school district...Dist. 60. So crazy as we are or should I say I am, we decided to put our house up for sale the weekend before Christmas. We prayed that if God wanted Hailey in a different school that the house would sell and our prayers were answered. On Jan 1st we sold our house and 1 week ago today we moved into our temporary home.(good friends of ours are renting to us and we are overjoyed and feel blessed...thank you Trausch's) We are going to finally build after toying with the idea over the past 3 years. We feel so blessed that God answered our prayers and look forward to what He has in store for us over the next 9 months.

*9 tends to be our "lucky" number. Hailey was 9 months when we moved out of our first house, Austin was 9 months the next move and I am 9 months pregnant this move!!

Winter Days

We have been very busy these cold winter days...weddings, moving and preparing for the arrival of our newest addition.

My little brother was married to a sweet girl, Korrie. We are so happy for them and can't wait to create many memories. Congrats Will and Korrie.


We haven't had a ton of snow this winter, but enough for yhe kids to enjoy a day in the cold with their daddy.

Tis' the season (part2)

We also had the kids playgroup over to decorate cookies. More cookies were eaten than decorated:)

The following day Sean and I took a trip to Chicago...our last getaway before our 3rd miracle arrives. It was Sean's first time there and he loved it. (For those who know Sean...he hates big cities.) We did a ton of shopping, walking and eating. The last night there we went to the Bulls v. Knicks NBA game. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the simple things in life...eating an entire meal w/out kids yelling:) Our mothers were nice enough to take the kids for us...thank you moms.

Hailey ended her first semester of school with a christmas program celebrating Jesus' birthday. She a little part and suprisingly enough she said it...way to go Hailey. The are so grown up from last year. It has been a true blessing all that Hailey has learned at school. She likes the idea of Santa but knows the true meaning of Christmas.

Tis' the season...

December has been a busy but funfilled month. It began with a trip to Kearney to see Disney on Ice. The kids loved seeing all of their favorite characters. The show was 2 hours long and the kids sat thru the entire thing:) We hope to take them back again next year. I think Sean even enjoyed it just a little!!

Our Meeting with Santa...did he listen?

My mom and I took the kids to see Santa in Lincoln the day after Thanksgiving. Hailey has been scared ever since she was 6mos old...4 years later she was able to sit on his lap and not be scared. I bet she was glad now, looking back...Santa brought her a Barbie jeep that she's been asking for:)

Austin on the other hand was unsure of who this big guy was...he sat next to him but not on his lap. Oh well maybe next year.

25 Weeks

Today I had yet another doctor visit...all went well except for one thing, the scale!! I am measuring right on, so 15 more weeks and we will meet this little miracle. I am so thankful for the energy that I do have to get through each day! In my Bible study this week, we are reading 1 Kings 19 and 20 and in chapter 19:4 Elijah is speaking to the Lord and say's, "I have had enough Lord". Some days I feel this and wonder how I will make it thru another day...but God always shows Himself as he gives me strength to take on another day. Thank you Lord for all the extra strength for each new day.

Shuffle Step

Last night we got to watch what Hailey has been learning at dance this year. I was so impressed at what this little girls knew, they have come along way since last year. They even did an entire dance with no help. We are looking forward to the recital in May. You go girls.
