Our New Home

I think most of you know that we moved to San Antonio back in the end of January. I can't believe we have been here for 4 1/2 months! It has been great to be able to be close to Daddy's work again and get to see him every night. That is priceless. It did take some adjusting for all of us, but it was/is definitely worth it. I still miss my friends from Cleburne and am still in the process of making new friends down here, but I know this is where we need to be right now. It was a foreclosure and had been empty for almost a year. We've done a little bit of work on it and still need to do more, but it is a great place for us. The house sits on a little over an acre of land. It needs quite a bit of work too, but we love it. Here are some pictures of our first home. (A few of the pictures aren't completely in focus, but you can get the general idea.)



This is an extra room that we use for the play room/craft room/computer room. I'm hoping to get a treadmill and set it up in here as well. It still needs quite a bit of work, but I've got ideas of things to do with it.




The kitchen--We had to put in all the appliances. We already had the fridge, so we only had to buy the stove, microwave and dishwasher. We eventually want to redo the kitchen because it is a little small and awkward.




The dining room view from the kitchen--We're thinking of maybe getting a custom built bench/nook built into the corner on the left. The doorway on the left goes to the master bedroom and the one on the right goes to the back door and guest bedroom.



Living room



Master bedroom--We want to eventually turn the step-up area into a lounging/reading area, but I think first, it will become a little nursery area.




Master bathroom--There are two closets in here, a large shower and a separate toilet area.

Skinja's bedroom--We have plans for this room as well. Right now the deocr theme is going to be Spiderman.



Kids' bathroom



Girls' bedroom--Tink keeps changing her mind on what colors she wants in here.



Garage/storage--We are eventually going to turn this into a guest house.

I didn't get any pictures of the backyard when I took these, but hopefully, I will eventually get some posted.

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
