New House!

We've officially moved! Yay! It was exhausting and stressful but totally worth it! We absolutely love our new house! We have some work to do...mostly painting and fixing a few minor issues...but it's so fun! I'm loving decorating and planning each room. We have a while to go before we are unpacked and fully settled but it is really starting to feel like home! Pictures to come soon!

Here's a picture from Halloween since I've been so bad at posting pictures on here....
Abby had a great time trick-or-treating in Uncle Tim and Auntie Carrie's neighborhood again this year! Below is a picture of Colin, Abby and Maddie before we headed out.

So busy!

Wow! It's been awhile since I blogged...but honestly, we've been so busy! Our townhouse sold in early October and we bought a new house shortly after. We close on both homes Monday! We are busy packing up all our belongings right now and getting everything ready for the big move! I'm 30 1/2 weeks pregnant - I can't believe how fast time is flying by! Abby is excited for her new Princess bedroom (although there is only one Princess sign going in her room!). I am excited to get this all done and make our new house our home for the holidays and before our new baby girl arrives in January! Please say a prayer for us in the next week!

Summer!

I can't believe it's July already!! We've had a great summer so far! I've enjoyed being home with Abby and spending every day with her!! She's a riot! June brought Abby's 1st Cubs game with Auntie EB & Mommy, a trip to the zoo, a week long family vacation with the Vugteveen's in Michigan, and the announcement that we are expecting our 2nd child in January!! We are very excited!!

An update!

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted! Things are going well over here...we put our townhouse on the market last Tuesday and are hoping and praying that God will allow this process to go smoothly and quickly! So cleaning is kind of our number one job right now, making sure our home is always in perfect showing condition! We are enjoying Springtime and finally having some warm weather in the Chicago area.
Abby is 28 months,potty trained, and talking up a storm - she's such a joy to be around! I have 3 weeks of school left and can't wait for the summer! I'm looking forward to my days home with her!!
This past weekend we got to enjoy time with both of our families! On Saturday, we celebrated EB's graduation from Purdue-Cal and on Sunday our niece, Avery Grace Jones, was baptized. It was a great weekend! We are looking forward to the holiday weekend ahead too!
God Bless!

Things are going well over here...midterms in school and Abby is potty training. We are excited for the arrival of our 11th niece/nephew in a week and a half!! Other than that...just enjoying our blessed life.
