Mi Vida Loca

Why are there no pictures on my blog...let me tell you about our crazy life....
We have been trying to buy a house, and on Aug 1 we found out that our lease was up...what better way to get our butt in gear to buy :) So we figured we would be in escrow by the time we move, live temporarily with Brian's parents and move into our new house in time for Turkey Day. ...Well 12 house offers later and our Sept 13 move date upon us, we regrettfully put our stuff in the garage and moved in with the in-laws for the weekend so we could find a house. And we did! The day after we moved we put our 13th and final offer on a house, which was accepted... with a 60 day escrow! We could not hang out with the in-laws that long...instead, we decided to keep the family relations happy :) After three weeks we found the perfect situation, a friend renting out his fully furnished home month to month! All this time our external hard drive is in a box and we haven't uploaded pictures to our computer since our desktop is in storage....SO, no pictures. Ok, so now you all know where we are living, and everything is going great with our house! We close on Nov. 13 and we hope to move in Dec. 1 after a little remodeling. Here are a few highlights of the last month or so...
Max:

• Started preschool and loves it!


• Our big boy turned 3...where did the time go!


• Went on our first "field trip" to the pumpkin patch


• Loves our "temporary" house, and can't wait for our "real" new house :)


• Is almost tall enough for the BIG rides at Disneyland...he is 39in and you need to be 40in


• Completed swim lessons and he now willingly puts his face in the water. He just started pee wee soccer and after will do tumbling/gymnastics.


• Oh yeah...he decided he is too big for naps, so we are keeping him busy :)

Amy:

• She is growing up WAY too fast!


• Started solid foods, and she is just like Max...eats a ton and we can not get it in her mouth fast enough.


• Said Ma Ma this week as her first word...we are now working on Da Da


• She can scoot, flop and crawl backwards, and can crawl one step forward...almost there!


• Still has a dark brown Mohawk, and where she was bald, hair is growing in blonde...it's an interesting style, but very cute!

That is some of our life in a nut shell. We all had some not so happy times...losing our beloved dog Pippin, that same week, my mother was in the hospital, and my dad found out he has cancer...when it rains it pours :( I am just very thankful for the power of prayer, and especially to have an eternal and gospel perspective on life. Not that I haven't had a few crazy days, but I have felt an ease and comfort through it all.
We will try and get some pictures on here soon, especially of the two cuties in their Halloween costumes.
