Where to start...

Well, it is a crying shame.  I KNOW we're moving in 4 to 6 weeks.  I KNOW the house is considerably smaller than this one.  What I don't know is, where to start.

I have henpecked at decluttering.  The kitchen is done and the half bath as well.  But, that's it.  I'm feeling like I won't be ready which is insane since I have enough time to get a lot done...  I'll feel terrible if we move stuff we don't need just because I didn't get around to it.

So I wander around aimlessly between diapers, bottles, and play-with-me-mommy, picking up 'low hanging fruit' to put in the pile to be donated or sold.

We have a room upstairs that is just box after box of papers and such.   The garage is full of one-day-we'll-use-this.  Ugh... 

Please...please...please...if you have any words of comfort or wisdom...please share them. 

Introducing our little miracle...

On October 8, 2010, God blessed us with Tyler...

(5 days old...finally home)

It was the most amazing thing that I have ever experienced.  Tyler was born via C-Section.  I was a nervous wreck.  I had a mini panic attack as they prepared me for surgery.  I was so scared that something would go wrong.  After opening me up, I heard someone say, "it's a beautiful baby boy"...and then I heard him cry.  Then, I cried.

He was beautiful...words cannot explain how I felt the first time I saw him. 

My twin sister was in the room and she was smiling so big that I swear her smile touched both of her ears.  Tyler tinkled on her (he actually tinkled on everything and everybody...he was mad that they woke him up, I guess).  Anyway, we spent 4 days in the hospital and that felt like FOREVER!!!

We're home now and I wake up feeling so blessed everyday.  Here's a couple of more current pictures:

 Fun in my exersaucer!

Well, I should be working on packing (decluttering) while he's resting.

God bless you all as He has blessed me!!!

Hello...

Well, we had a BEAUTIFUL little boy.  He was a couple of weeks early, but came into this world with very little trouble. 

I don't know where to start this blog.  I feel very overwelmed with information to share with you all.  The biggest news is that (drum roll please...)

WE ARE MOVING ABOUT 80 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE BIG CITY!!! 

I'm so excited!  The property is about an acre.  It does have a lot of trees, so I'll have to be diligent about where to put my gardens.  The house is owned by my stepmother's mom.  Her son built it.  We are all excited that it is staying in the family.  She is 78 years old and wants to downsize.  The house is a story of its own and I'll have to share that with you on another posting.  (It feels odd to refer the JW as my stepmother.  She is a true sweetheart and we all love her.  We introduce her as our sister/mom.  She has the neatest family too.  That's another post too, I reckon.)

For now, we are frantically getting our house ready for selling.  I am busy at home with my little angel.  I did quit my job as a police officer; however, I am signed up as a reserve officer.  My dear husband has been working 3 jobs to keep little man and me safely at home.  God bless him.  (Once this house sells, he'll be able to go back down to 1 job as it will be a lot less expensive.)  The family has been helping out a lot too. 

God is good and I will be back soon...  Blessings to you all...
