I can't believe it has been so long since I updated! Between having our home for sale and the holidays, time just escaped me, I guess.

Still no go on the house. We're royally sick of it. While before when we'd get the call that someone wanted a showing we'd be excited about the prospect of a sale. Now we just get irritated at yet another inconvenience that ultimately leads to nothing. Earlier this week we had a second showing scheduled where the realtor told us that she thought our house was the "one" for her client. Two canceled showings later we were informed that the interested buyer's financing fell through. ugh!!

We are trying very hard to trust in the Lord's timing as we watch our neighbors sell their homes while ours sits. Right now there really isn't anything out there we'd like to buy (the house we wanted fell through) and so that makes it easier to wait. We'll see what happens!

I'll do a quick "catch up" on us since it has been so long.

Hannah just turned five. We're amazed that she's that old already. Sometimes it seems like just yesterday that she was born. She's quite happy in the role of "biggest sister" and is currently not looking forward to kindergarten because it means that she has to be away from her sisters all day. I don't think that will last more than a day! One of her favorite things to do is to play with Elaina. Gotta love that! She's a great helper.


Grace is our little "princess". At least if she's wearing a dress. Any dress qualifies. When I teased her about being "sleeping beauty" the other day because she took such a good nap she informed me that she couldn't possibly be Sleeping Beauty because she wasn't wearing a dress. She's a "girly girl" and loves to tell Mommy how "beautiful" she is. She's also Hannah's shadow. Sometimes I forget that they are different ages because they want to do everything the same!


Elaina is a lot of fun. She is a bundle of energy always on the go. She adores her older sisters and gets a kick out of watching the pets. I'm hoping that she starts walking a bit sooner than Grace, but she isn't anywhere near there yet. I've been working on trying to get her to stand at least :-)


That's the quick summary of the last few months. I will try to be better about updates. Particularly since (in my opinion) my kids do such cute things! I should have something to write about!
