Busy Days

Wow... life is keeping us both very busy and very much in "stalemate" mode these days. Jon started his new job this week which has kept him very busy. He's really enjoying getting to meet people and trying to figure out the ins and outs of a new place. We get to skype with him every night which is good for all of us and he's enjoying getting settled in.
We continue to pray for the sale of our house. It's only been on the market a month and we hear there are possibly a couple of interested parties, but are anxiously awaiting an offer so that we can make an offer on whatever house Jon picks out. So we try to keep busy with the day to day things of life as well as trying to keep the house in "show" mode - which has been eaiser than you might think with 2 girls, a dog and daycare kids still here. I have some fun things planned to do with the girls this weekend as we try to get in the "Christmas" mood. Normally that is not a problem for any of us, but being spread apart makes everything just a little weird this year.
I'll try to get Bria's piano recital posted on here this week as well as some fun pictures from Emmy's birthday party.
In the midst of moving and Thanksgiving, Emmy turned 7! I honestly can't quite wrap my brain around that fact.... to me she's still my baby ... she can't possibly be a beautiful young 7-year old girl but I look at her and realize she is. She's really growing up and maturing - it seems she's changed so much in the past 3 months.
So for now I need to get afterschool snacks ready, change diapers, get kids up from naps and all those things. I'll try to get more fun stuff posted soon. While you're waiting you can check out the jibjabs below - the girls love them!
