It's been a busy month...

So after doing so well during most of December, I've totally slacked off on the whole blog thing.  However, I think I have a good excuse...we sold our house, celebrated Christmas and New Year's, moved into an apartment and now we're trying to find a house to rent for the next year because our move to South Carolina seems to be in a holding pattern for right now.  Needless to say, it's been a busy month full of ups and downs and way downs.

This last month has been a true test...I've questioned my faith in ways I've never done before.  I've had moments of weakness, discontent, sadness, and pretty much every emotion in the book.  I've tried to be a strong woman and hold it all in so as not to further upset my husband...I've tried to act like nothing's been going on for the sake of my kids.  But as I pulled out of the driveway of our home for the last time, I couldn't hold back the tears.  I couldn't stop the waterfall from falling.  Then I heard this sweet voice from the second row asking if I was okay and somehow I found strength I didn't even know I had.  Somehow I found my tears stopping and my heart healing as I told WP, "Yes, I'm okay...Mama's okay."

See to WP, it's not about the house we live in, it's about his Mama and Daddy being together...it's about his family being happy and healthy.  I'd be lying if I said I was totally over the craziness that was the sale of our house and the disappointment at the fact that we aren't able to move to SC yet, but my heart feels full when I see my sweet children and when my husband walks through the door at the end of a crazy day.  And what more can I possibly ask for?

In other news:

CE will be 5 months old on Thursday, January 28th.  She had cereal for the first time on Saturday morning and is starting to get the hang of it.  She's rolling over and not sleeping again.  It's causing me to be a little moody...oh, who am I kidding, the lack of sleep is making me a mega *****.  I'm trying to get her onto a better schedule since we've basically been doing to the whole "on demand" thing, so hopefully that will help.  We introduced her to the saucer and she LOVES IT most of the time - a true blessing to her Mama.

Will's almost 21 months old...which means he's almost 2.  How can that be? His vocabulary is exploding like crazy.  He is in to everything and apparently has a temper similar to his Mama's.  He's a joy, a sweet, loving boy.  He adores his sister and is a huge helper.  He is growing up so quickly.
