on my mind right now . . .

i think my girls might be the messiest children god ever created!
(but i wouldn't trade them for anything in the world)

*****

we have completely outgrown our house and are very cramped!

*****

we finally have a contract on the last house sean built in missouri that we have been sitting on for 2 years!

*****

sean is finishing a remodel on house that has more space than ours but it's not in one of the areas we most desire to live in. it's a nice area . . . a very nice area . . . but the character and charm and the community like what we have where we are now is not the same (even with the empty, flood damaged houses that are still around us). but it's on the same street as my sister-in-law and a few blocks from my mother and father-in-law and its a couple of miles from my brother-in-law. it has a yard for the girls. the surrounding neighbors are crazy . . . and i'm not even joking in the least bit. (and i'm not referring to my sister-in-law. she lives at the very beginning of the street and this house is at the end of the street.)

*****

why won't the lady who has the huge empty lot next to us . . . sell us part of it?

*****

i love the grunts and funny little sounds i am hearing come from the living room as i type all of this mumbo-jumbo!

*****

3 hours sure does go by fast!

i'm so thankful for the fact that i have 3 (messy) healthy little girls . . . i'm so thankful for the fact that we have been blessed 4 very quick times with beautiful children that fill up our home . . . i'm so thankful that we have only been sitting on this house for 2 years because it could have been longer . . . i'm so thankful for the fact that my husband is a hard working man that has the ability to create beautiful homes that gives us options as to where we can live . . . i'm so thankful for the fact that we have a big empty lot next to us that we can use whenever we want because the lady who owns it doesn't live here and we don't have to pay for the lot . . . i'm so thankful for the grunts and sounds i hear because i have a happy, healthy, and very hungy baby . . . and i'm so thankful for the 3 hours i get each morning to myself.
