“A good memory is one that can remember the day's blessings and forget the day's troubles”


And how can I not look at this little face and not feel blessed?! Life is stressful these days. Plain and simple. There is always something going on and life is chaotic enough with 4 children..then throw a last minute move in the mix. GRRR! I am excited about our new place. There were mixed feelings at first with the bedroom situation being 3 bedrooms and a den but we are going to work through that and just rejoice in having a little more space and a beautiful home for the next 18 months. We've been trying to move a lot of stuff over since getting the keys last week but it has not been an easy task on me since Jay works all.the.time. He was off today, so we got a bit done but the goal is to have everything except furniture moved over by Friday, which is when the furniture goes. We'll see. Something tells me we'll be back here moving stuff next week, lol.

The kids are doing great! Last week, we went to the Phoenix Childrens Museum again. We had gone in January and the kids had a blast and have been asking to go back. We love this place! We went with some friends who are moving away and everyone had a great time. We are so excited to return this summer, when a new area opens up. It's a huge structure for the kids to climb on...all made out of cool, recycled products.

I think everyone is excited about the new house. The kids have all enjoyed running around in the empty house...it will be funny when there is furniture in there. Avery loves school and will continue through the summer, Joe only has about a month left (where did that school year go??), Mayci wishes she went to school, lol! She actually cried when day when I dropped Avery off..she wanted to go to school too! and Maddi is growing like crazy. She weighs 14.4 lbs and is just such a happy girl. When we went to the museum, I put her in the stroller and she had a blast looking around and smiling at everyone. She loves to talk now too..it's funny to see the kids reaction when she starts babbling!

Well, wish us luck with the move! Hopefully all will go smooth and we won't have any downtime without the internet, lol!

Hi Kelli,
Maddi is so so cute! Of course she is look at the rest of your kids! Anyway, I can't believe how big she is getting! Please let me know if you need anything during your move... I would be more than happy to help. We didn't get together for coffee. :( I know with the move and all you were busy and I just forgot. When you have a free Wednesday night after the kids are in bed we will go meet for coffee so let me know. I've been dying to get out and talk to you. Between church service just isn't right. Let me know if we can help you move no matter what it is! TTYL!
