Sooooo Excited!!!

Two days and counting.

Until what you ask?

Until I see one of my closest friends!! Alice Anne and family will be here Friday night!! I am on pins and needles waiting to see her! (and the family, of course!)

We have an event packed weekend planned. I'll need a weekend to get over my weekend! I'm not sure which day is which but we'll be going down to Plymouth to see Plimouth Plantation and Plymouth Rock. We're also going to head up to Salem. I can't wait for that. Especially around this time of year. For some reason I'm singing "the freaks come out at night, the freaks come out at niiiight." ;o) Salem is SUCH a fun place. I'm excited to share this with them - we're going to have such a great time!

See you soon AA!!!!

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Can't believe how fast this year is flying by! September is already gone and we are into October. The seasons are changing (FINALLY feeling Fall around here!) and there are plenty of changes going on in our house.

Mike and Brandon let go of their apartment, packed up all of their belongings and left for Colorado a little less than a week ago. Mike got his old job back, they got an apartment and off they went. Well, they made it as far as Ohio. Yes, that's it. Both of them realized that they just couldn't do it. They couldn't leave their families behind and move away. (I will admit I :selfishly: was very happy to hear it!) So they turned around and headed back.......home.........with US! Some would say oh no, not again! But we're okay with it. They didn't have an apartment to go to and we are the only family that could help out. We made arrangements, set up a game plan and did what we had to do! The boys are sharing a room and the (bigger) boys have moved into Ryan's room. Again. LOL. This weekend the house was in complete upheaval. Mike & Brandon got home on Friday. Yesterday all of us spent the day rearranging. I've packed up all of the kids spring / summer clothing (Steph be prepared for another overflowing box lol), washed and hung all of the fall / winter stuff. We moved furniture and belongings around. I've gotten rid of some stuff from Erynn's room, like her changing pad, since she is no longer in diapers. Yes, it's been almost two months and I'm just getting around to it. Whoops.

Lots of changes, lots of things going on and I'm loving every minute of it. I'm loving having my family all together. I'm looking forward to the holidays (FINALLY!) because we'll all be under the same roof. Last year we started the tradition of small family Christmas and everyone stays in their pajamas. We plan on continuing it this year........with just two more additions. I can't wait. Things are looking good. :o)
