Lost post: Posted

Warning: Some of this post was written a month ago. So, I came back and saw I never posted it. oh, also, it is unfinished...but I figured my dear readers want to know what is happening NOW, not then, so there. See below for the newest news.





Well, Yesterday I celebrated my 8 year wedding Anniversary. And I say I, because my poor husband was out of town, working hard to provide for our little family. And poor me, I was oh-so-lonesome on my anniversary. (not to mention him, I am sure it was no picnic for him either). Well at least I had a DELICIOUS meal, that is if you consider and egg and cheese sandwich delicious. LOL. Not really complaining, as there is a smile on my face. And I am truly blessed in my life to have my needs and wants provided for. My husband is a wonderful man, loving husband, and great daddy. I am so so so so blessed that the Lord gave him to me. 

We actually were never planning on doing anything to big for our Anniversary because we planned our party to fall right near it. (It so happens, that it falls right between our Birthdays). 

I am sure EVERYONE is waiting for pictures, so let me treat you to some right now. 

OKAY---HERE IS THE NEW PART.

I am sitting on a couch in Ocean City NJ for a late summer vacation. We are praying for some warm sunny weather so we can play on the beach. It started out with a gloomy rainy day yesterday, so we'll see. I have to hand it to families who live in small/tight quarters. I am thinking of one of my best friend's from college, specifically, but it is

 TOUGH! One night and I am ready to throw in the towel! Yikes. We are in a cute 2 bedroom beach condo. It is nice, just small for our 6 bodies. And, why I forgot, I don't know, but we didnt bring any toys. Who has 4 kids and doesn't bring anything for us to do if we are stuck inside? Well, me apparantly. Sleep alluded me MOST definitely last night too. Not for lack of comfort because we are in a lovely King sized bed, hmmm, maybe I will upgrade after the move(news coming on that). Anyway, it was just the baby kept waking, Wild Child Maddie, kept waking, and I just tossed and turned. 

So, pour out the grace today Lord! I need it! It certainly doesnt help ANYBODY that my monthly visitor should be coming soon-feeling sorry for the hubs. 

Well, onto news about our house. Last I left it, our builder was out of business, right? Well, they "restructured" and the banks decided they were going to kick off everything with our home...yippee. It ends up, that we are in a somewhat protected situation. Better off than many of our soon to be neighbors actually. So we are feeling very blessed. It has been great seeing the house go up from the ground up. I mean, really surreal. The drywall went in last week, and it was so wierd. So house-y. I have this feeling like, we are moving to the next stage, or era with the house. I keep thinking that, God-willing, this will be our home till I die, or at least for a long time, and we saw it be built. I am not doing my feeling justice with these words. It is just a funny sense of sentimentalism, and a "sadness" almost that this dream that I had, is almost done being realized. It is strange. I am so grateful though. It is 

awesome. Here are a few pics: 

Note: Pay no attention to the fact that me and my husband appear to be "matchy matchy." Purely a coincidence I assure you. ;o)

In my offspring news: My little 10 month old is crawling! It may not seem like a big feat to those parents who have 5 month olds who walk, but to me, this is HUGE. She started crawling at about 9.5 months. I mean real forward crawling. on all fours. My kids usually take FOREVER to  move, but not her. Here is a picture of my little lovie...
