Moving

So, we're moving.
Eric took a job in Columbus Indiana and today I'd rather be there than here.
I'm tired of the weather, the sickness, the people not caring whether we stay or go.
I'm tired of packing already. I just want to leave it all here and start fresh.
New and exciting, that's what I need.
Grace even said she was excited to move into her new house, which made me happier than you know.
I'm not sure where Eric's head is at or how he's dealing with it all, but I will just say again that a new fresh start is what we need.
Any suggestions on moving? I'm listening.

Someone gave me a great piece of advice that was really helpful. We had the girls pack one box each full of things that they could unpack right away when they got to our new house. We kept the boxes in our car so that they could have them when we got to our new place. Another good tip (we learned this from our mover) is to pack the bikes last in the moving truck. That way, the kids can ride them as soon as you get there. It keeps them busy and allows them to see something of theirs right away.

So excited for you!

How far is that from South Bend? My advice is to call your new neighbors! (That would be us, in case I didn't make that clear:-)!!!!!

I finally found the nerve to look up columbus on a map. And now I'm a little sad.

Here it is, the long awaited video from the arrival of our new "BIG" bed. I noticed that I'm breathing pretty hard in the video, it's because I was fighting a cold, not because I have that hard of a time walking up the stairs. Although Eric and Ben show signs of fatigue too, but they actually did the work... so here you go, I hope it makes you laugh a little.

If it's broke, fix it

Noah fractured his arm. Yes you're right, I felt horrible. At first I didn't know what to do. I ran with my crying baby up the stairs to the kitchen and called my husband. He didn't really know what to do either. I called the pediatrician. Appointment for the afternoon was made and Noah gradually got back into the swing of things, not using his arm like normal, but playing and pulling hair and eating like normal with his other arm. By the time we got to the pediatricians office I thought for sure she would say that it was probably just sprained and that he should take it easy. She told me she thought x rays would be a good idea and to go right away and they would call from the imaging office to let the pediatrician know what they saw. I called around for the cheapest x rays and went where it was 10 dollars cheaper per x ray, all the while thinking I didn't want to pay money for it to be nothing. Noah was doing well for having fell, not eaten very much and not having tak...

Revolutionary Road

What was I thinking? Leonardo, Kate. Titanic was a hit right? So I rented this movie, Revolutionary Road. We hadn't rented in a very long time and I thought, hey it's cheaper than going to see a movie, getting babysitters are expensive these days. Well, I knew it would be rough but I got it anyway. Eric was not happy. At one point he asked if he could have my headphones to listen to his laptop instead of the movie. I'll just say this. If you're at a point in your marriage were you could go one of two directions, one good, one bad, don't rent this flick! It's real, it's hard to watch. Luckily for Eric and I, we aren't at that place, we never have been and I hope we won't ever get there. Now, it's 4am and I'm sitting at the kitchen table with my little boy thinking, I really shouldn't have watched that movie because I could have gone to bed earlier in preperation for this night. If you have seen it, or you do let me know what you think.
