Quick update

Wow, it's been a while since I posted anything. We've been very busy trying to get our house ready to list and it's finally listed! Yea!! We've already had 3 showings and an offer, although not a great offer. It's only been on the market 4 or 5 days, so we feel encouraged by the activity. We're really hoping and praying that we can sell it quickly so we won't have 2 mortgages.

We went to Nashville over Spring Break and fell in love all over again!! We are going to love living there! It's so beautiful and the people are so friendly. We toured a couple more schools and realize that we can't go wrong with any of the schools the Williamson County area. I'm excited for my kids! Adam and I were able to eliminate a few areas and we found a few neighborhoods that we really liked so now we can concentrate our searching to the areas we liked. It's nice to have narrowed our scope a little. That's really what this trip was all about. We are going back the first part of May to actually find a house. We actually did find a house that we'd really love to buy, but it's too soon to do anything about it since we can't close until late May, early June. Hopefully it will still be available when we go back out.

While Adam and I were in Nashville, the kids were with my sister in Murphysboro, Illinois. They had such a great time and were very sad to leave! It's going to be so nice to live close to them and be able to share family events with family. They are about 3 1/2 hours from Nashville. It was so nice of my sister to be willing to take on four more kids and a dog for a few days. We didn't worry about them for a second! Well, I did worry about Jana, but I didn't worry about the kids. :)

The bluebonnets are now blooming and they are so pretty! We'll take a picture in them soon and be able to replace the one I have on here that is two years old. It'll be our last year to do that.

Pics!!

I thought I would add a few more recent pictures of our family.



This was taken in December at the Dallas World Aquarium when my dad came to visit.



3 of my favorite boys!!



Hannah was a fairy for Halloween



Ben was a Storm Trooper, Ethan was Ash from Pokemon, and Levi was Indiana Jones for Halloween.



This was one of Levi's Christmas presents. I stayed up pretty late Christmas Eve trying to finish it, but I was happy with the way it turned out. My kids love to dress up, especially the boys.

I'll try to add more pictures later!

Ants!


I found these cute pictures of the kids the other day. They were taken at our science place here in Dallas. They these cute ant hats and a little ant hill for the kids to climb through. The kids love it!

Facebook

I just discovered the wonderful world of Facebook and I'm loving it - a little too much! It's been so fun to find friends that I haven't been in touch with for years, friends that I thought I would never find again. However, I've also discovered that it can eat up a lot of time fast. The other night I was on it until 2am! I'm going to have to be careful!!
