Changes... updated with photos.
Yes, I just had a baby. It's a big change for any person and family.
On top of that big change we have been trying to decide, finally, if we are going to stay in this house and fix in up or move. We've been house hunting amidst baby. Seriously, the night I went into labor we looked at homes, the day I came home we looked at homes.
It has basically come down to two decisions, this house, and it's extreme opposite! For our own reasons we have decided to stay here. We've weighed our options and feel it is best.
It is quite exciting to finally be decided! Now we face fix-ups. The first, actually happening right now is our roof... being torn off and replaced, and our driveway being repaved. I am excited for these changes. I will need a breather before we start anything else though!
As for the other, bigger change in our life, the baby, things are going well. He is a champion sleeper at night and it really helps me keep my sanity! He is a good eater and a pretty happy boy.
The kids have been such good helpers. They keep reassuring me that even though grandma is gone we'll be okay because thy will help me!
Speaking of grandma, it was so good to have her here. She was such a big help cooking meals, dusting my house, holding my Owen, and most of all loving my other kiddies while I couldn't. We were all sad to see her go. Q wouldn't say goodbye and when I got back in the car, after dropping mom off, was quiet. I asked if she was sad grandma was gone and she broke down and cried... "I just love her so much." That made me cry, again. So sweet how much they love their grandma. They had so much fun playing hide and seek, coloring, being outside and doing puzzles.
I have taken some photos. It's tough being the new mom AND photographer! There are still some shots I want to get. I have to do a little at a time! I haven't played with any of these yet, but love the images!
