addition to earlier post

so I guess I should have included the specs for the house in my earlier posting since everyone keeps emailing and asking me.

The house is located in Lafayette which is in the middle of wine country! :) If you know me at all you know I will be at those vineyards while the kids are in school. ;)

Anyhow, it is a brand new development called Morgan's Vineyards. It is a five bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, 4291 square feet, 3.5 car garage, with a beautiful view home! Oh and it has a clubhouse with a pool too. I think that's my favorite part.

Now we will finally have a room for all three kids, us, and my dad, as well as a play room and an office for John and I.

okay I hope that covers it for everyone.

Madison is a year old!

This past weekend we went down to Rogue River to celebrate Madison's first birthday. WE can hardly believe she is one already. The party went great! All the kids were in great moods, everyone had a great time and there were good laughs, at John ;) He managed to spray BBQ sauce all over the kitchen!

EXCITED!!!

WE got the house! Thank you so much to everyone who has been there for us! Now comes the hard part....packing and moving! So if you feel like helping with that too. LOL Only teasing!

Thankful for friends and family

I just wanted to write on behalf of John and I, we are so thankful for all the thoughts and prayers everyone has been sending us on finding the perfect house.

We finally found it and made an offer on it yesterday, we should hear back soon from the builder if they accept it. From what it sounds like there are not any other reasonable offers on the home so we are hoping to get it.

I know a lot of you have been dieing with anticipation right along with us and we just want to say we really appreciate your support. This last year and a half has been a handful for our family with losing loved ones, gaining lots more, and life in general.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as you are always in ours, we love you all!

Here are some pictures of the house we are hoping to call home.

Alexander is a big boy!

Alexander went to the doctor Friday for his two month check up, he is a whoping 12lbs 9 ozs. He measures 24 inches long. He is smack dab average in weight and height, but far from average to us.

His doctor says he is absolutely perfect in everyway! He didn't do too well with the shots. We were hoping he was going to be like his sister and sleep off the shots. They made him run a little fever and he was up all night.

Today he is doing great, he even went to the championship game for one of his favortie football players, Zach! They lost but we all still had fun!
