Home sweet home!

We found a house! A great house if I do say so myself. Michael and I are thrilled. We were certainly blessed. We found the house the first day of looking, had an offer in the next day, the contract was signed by all on the 3rd day! Now I am not computer savvy enough to figure out how to do the cool links thing on the blog so here is a website that features our house if you would like to see it:

We have the closing date for Dec 8th but hopefully we will get in there earlier. The kiddos and I will stay in St Louis with Grandmom until the day we move into the new house. Mike has to go back to work next week.

2 more updates: I am now 19 weeks along, baby is 8 1/2 ounces and 6 inches long now. Very exciting. I am feeling baby's movements all day long now and it's just the best feeling in the whole world! Brittyne--if you are reading this stop now---I am still puking and wish that part would get over with BUT it's allowing me to hold onto the hope she is a girl and that is why I am still sick at the halfway point. When we get settled in OKC I will go in for my ultrasound, I know there are many wondering the sex of Baby #4--me included, and my sister-in-law is going crazy waiting to hear, she has given me a Christmas deadline, not sure exactly what will happen if I don't meet that, not sure I want to find out. :)
And: Mike and I are going to the Mizzou-ku game on Saturday! I am so excited. I hope that we have a better outing then we did against Iowa State. Let's go Tigers, let's go! This game has bowl implications--I am pumped. Mizzou-rah!!!

All Tuckered Out!!!

Today was another LONG day and this picture really sums it up:

(Isn't he beautiful?)

The movers arrived again at 11:30 and stayed until about 5. They are still not done packing everything, which is why I still have my computer to blog on. The guys are supposed to be back tomorrow morning at 8 or 8:30 to finish packing the boxes so the truck can get loaded. We shall see how it goes.

The kids are handling it all better then Mike and I, we are fairly grumpy and they are taking everything in stride. Neither Kaden nor Gabriel napped today, but obviously Gabriel did fall asleep late this afternoon in his Daddy's arms. We are all tired that is for sure!

One more day is what I keep telling myself. Thanks to Mom, Lisa, and Heidi who called today to check on me. We are hanging in there and now it's only one more day!

Happy Halloween and happy moving?

We had a fun, fun time last night. The boys had a blast and we have WAY TOO MUCH candy around this house. We left our candy on the porch so we could all go out trick-or-treating together and hardly any was gone when we got back over an hour later! Not a good thing for a pregnant lady to be surrounded by mounds of chocolate---I can tell you that!
We didn't get many pictures, just one in fact. Luke and Kaden didn't want to slow down for any and when we got home I was outside talking to a neighbor and they both undressed before I came in. Sorry Grandmas! But here is a picture of Gabriel and his scary face:

He was the Cardinal Bench Coach, why? Cause that is such a cool title, "Hi, what do you do?" "I'm the bench coach." See, cool!

Our movers came today, they called at 8 to say they would be there in an hour to an hour and a half. Okay 9:30, not too bad. They showed up at 11:30. AND then they left at 2:45. So, needless-to-say it will be a LONG day of packing tomorrow. Most of the kitchen is done, the boys room is done, and half of the other 2 bedrooms are done. They said they would be here tomorrow at 9 or maybe 9:30, we shall see. They were very nice guys so that counts for something, right?

Here's a thank you to my friend Yadira for allowing Kaden and Gabriel to go nap at her house today. (though Gabriel didn't actually sleep a wink...should make for an interesting evening). Thanks to Heidi for calling to see how I was doing, thanks to Jason and Lisa for stopping by to see me, and to Lisa for staying with me and helping out! Thanks to Momma for listening!

Mike had to be at work at 3:15 this morning and it's now 5PM and I haven't heard when he is coming home yet. What a crazy time for him to be so swamped at work. Hopefully it will be better for him tomorrow. Please say a prayer for a restful and rejuvenating sleep---for all of us!!
