A Tale of Two Mamas

Trying to keep someone IN timeout

Archive for Uncategorized

*gulp*

Well, we’ve done it.

We just listed our house with a real estate agent.

We have our eye on another house in another neighborhood (in town) and in order to “make it happen” we’ve decided to put our house on the market and see what hits we get.

Today we busted our asses to get the house in perfect condition - to say the least it’s BEAUTIFUL!

Our real estate agent came out to take photos and it will be officially posted up tomorrow and we’ll be at prospective buyers beck and call.

From word of mouth a couple and their kids came out today to look at the house. The real estate agent said that our house showed beautifully.

Yikes. Things are going to move fast!

Snow day?

We’re expected to have tons of snow tomorrow morning and I’m wondering if it’s going to be a snow day for Grammy!

I keep looking outside and it’s so pretty!

Now I don’t want to leave my warm couch and go upstairs to my freezing cold bed.

Maybe I should ask Santa for an electric blanket.

What is sleep again?

The past few days have been BRUTAL. Little Emmy has been boycotting sleep and every fifteen minutes goes crazy if there’s not a boob in her mouth.

One of Margot’s friends just sent us a book on better habits for sleeping babies and we’re hoping that once we read it - it might give us ideas to help the situation!

Emmy’s 6 month appointment went great! She’s 26 3/4 inches long which puts her in the 90th percentile. Her weight actually only went up to 16lbs4oz. I was a little concerned that she wasn’t gaining weight appropriately - but she’s still above the 50th percentile for weight. It seems like she’s thinned out a little bit in the body and maybe even a little in the cheeks!

Here are just a few random photos:

Away?

When we were away in New York I must admit that I missed our house and my bed terribly! There was also a little voice in the back of my head that worried about the safety of everything.

I kept thinking about what would happen if our house were to catch on fire. Did I leave the oven on? Was the electricity secure?

Although, the crime rates in our area are almost zero it is the holidays and with the economy being so poor I know that crime and theft tend to peak. With that in mind - I also kept thinking that someone could easily sneak into our house and steal our belongings.

When I was a kid we always had a home health security system. It provided us with peace of mind when we weren’t at home. When we were at home we knew that we would be alerted if there were invaders.

ADT is a brand known for protecting assets and providing top notch security systems. If we were ever considering getting a system I’d make sure to go with the best - ADT.

Back to normal. Kinda.

We got back into town yesterday afternoon. We have two cars full of crap and have yet to unpack. We figure each night we’ll get a few loads and bring it into the house!

To say the least…we’re so happy to be back home. I’ve been horrible at taking photos and videos and I know I need to get better because we love looking back and seeing pictures of the kids.

I promise over the next few days we’ll post some good photos and give a better update.

Right now.we.must.vege-out.
