I am terrible at this blogging idea. I had great intentions, really I did! It is so hard to keep up with, take care of 2 little ones, pack, etc! Yes, I said pack! Our house finally went under contract at the beginning of July. We move next Thursday!! I am so excited. It has been the longest year. We found a great new house that was built and we cannot wait to get in! I love everything about the house. The kitchen is going to be my favorite room...it has everything I really wanted.
Madelyn is now 3.5 and something else! She has grown so much over the summer. She seriously talks like this little old lady at times. She has started a new chore chart (well it's called a responsibility chart) and is earning magnets each day. She earns a dollar a week and boy she can't wait to blow it at Target. She hits up the dollar bin quite often! She starts dance today and cannot wait. I can't wait to see her move around. She has already tested out the new leotard and ballet slippers. She will also take tap with it. She is going to wear Aunt Marissa's tap shoes. How cute! She loves on Caroline every day, although jealousy has started. Once I go to Caroline to play with her, she pounces right on top of us! She also is very possessive over her things. Oh well, I knew it would come!
Caroline is now 8.5 months old! Can you believe it? Amazing! She is starting to 'talk', well babble. She loves to play on the floor, look at her hands, play with her blocks, try to crawl (although she's not), and roll all over the floor. She adores her big sister. She also gives Daddy the biggest smiles ever. She still has her eyelid hemangioma and we are waiting until October to see if it grows anymore. It didn't grow from the last time, so maybe it will start to go down. She still has the blocked tear duct in the same eye. We're also waiting until 10 months to make a decision on that.
We are headed to Dollywood this week. Well, Madelyn and I are. We are going with Paw-Paw, Jordan, Jeremy, Jalen, Great Grandma, and Aunt Amy. It should be a riot all riding in the van together!
In two weeks we head to the beach with Nana and Papa Gary. We can't wait for a family beach trip!!! Aunt Amy and her kids will also join us!
That's it for now. Hopefully I'll keep up with this more once we are settled!
