I always hate to post something with no pictures. I like to let the pictures tell the story instead of having you listen to my blabber. Since I still can not get my pictures to download I have to post something. It has been a very busy summer and it has gone by too fast. We had some really warm days and have enjoyed going to parks, splash pads, pools, the fair and the zoo. We put the house up for sale in June. So far no luck with the house. Not even one showing. It does make me a bit nervous but I am hopeful that we can get another incoming resident to buy it. After all we are less than a mile from the hospital. I think the thing that annoys my the most about having the house for sale is trying to keep it in clean mode all the time. I have never lived like that and I find it so stressful having to make sure all is picked up at all times, just in case we get a showing. Most of the kids toys have been banished to the basement so the toys somehow creep back upstairs and I have to start all over again. Sometimes I just want to pull my hair out. God is in control and I know that His timing is best. So we wait....
The kids have grown so much this summer. Grisham starts school on the 14th. He is going to our church for preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I also enrolled him in a tumbling class for Monday nights. I don't know who is more excited, Grisham or me! Genevieve is becoming the most independent little girl. She likes to pick out her clothes and dress herself in the morning. She goes through at least two outfits a day. She says " I doit!" I think we are very close to potty training. I would do it now but we go on vacation in a week and we will be in the car for a long time. I cant ask her newly trained bladder to do that so we will wait until we come back. Carolyn is sweet, smiley, mild and talkative. She is rolling over and looks like she might crawl soon. I am in no hurry for her to reach these milestones. I wish she would stay a baby a little while longer. Right now she is really enjoying her solid foods. She loves anything you put into her mouth, except cereal. I have tried rice, oatmeal and mixed and she is not a fan but give her any veggie or fruit and she is in heaven. Almost daily I sit back and I am in awe of how God has blessed me. I wonder "What did I do to deserve these three beautiful children?" I don't have an answer to that but I do know that I love them very much and I try to be the very best mommy for them.
Scott is now in his final year of residency. So far it hasn't been too bad but there have been many days that the kids go without seeing him. We are so very excited to move to Chester, Illinois. Scott can't wait to start his practice and I can't wait to move to small town and start some roots. I know that the next 10 months will go by quickly and I need to live in the now. Focus on what is going on now but I just can't help but dream about our new life outside of Ohio.
Well that is all for now. Hoping to get the pictures, the oh sooo many pictures, up soon.
