Where does the time go?

As I get older, I continue to be amazed at how fast time flies by. So in the last two weeks: we have gotten everything we possessed moved into the house, and maybe half of it is unpacked, worked our regular old full time schedules which also means William's been hanging out with his good friends at Julie's house full time (which thankfully he LOVES :), drove to Appleton, MN for a wedding which Jeremy ushered for, and William danced for, drove back to Rochester to work this week again and send William to daycare. CRAZY!! Well at least we are all surviving although the upper respiratory bug we all picked up while moving is lingering on, probably because we haven't been relaxing and sleeping that much! My disease is pretty much cleared up but William's seems to have been recontaminated by his parents is fighting off round two.

We are looking forward to a break coming up soon, we'll be driving up north to camp and spend time with our families starting next weekend. This is very exciting as the last time we attempted this I was 8 months pregnant, and I probably complained more than normal. :) We are looking forward to a few days off work, and a more relaxing drive up and back as we're not so pressed for time this stay. Thank goodness for time off once in awhile!!

Well hopefully by that time I computer will be fully functional. We now have all discs necessary for the next step (the Dell on call service to walk us thru saving our memory & reinstalling all of the software) and we just need to find a good time for this to happen. That is alot more difficult than it sounds when you live with an almost two year old. :) Obviously it's not the most important thing to do on our lists or it would be done already, but one of these days :) And thank goodness for not moving again for awhile, I'm afraid of what will happen to it next time we move!!

I have removed my April Rose button from the sidebar. For those of you who never checked it out~ good call on your part. Turns out the host wasn't really pregnant and certainly not with a terminally ill baby but did enjoy the audience her story created~ it's a very sad story.

So we'll see you guys soon & thanks for continuing to check in on us! Drop us a comment and let us know who you are :)

All Moved In...Almost

Well we closed on our new house last Friday! Thankfully everything went smoothly :) ...and we're not sleeping in a U-Haul, on the street, or in the PICU sleep room. We moved all of our things on Friday evening and Saturday during the day. Then on Sunday we spent some time getting boxes and furniture from the garage to the correct areas of the house. So eventually we'll have the boxes upacked, and the house will still look pretty empty. At least we managed to find the toiletries, and our work clothes :)

Poor William. He's been slightly traumatized by everything that's been going on. He was happy to see a few toys come back out and has been throwing his ball around the backyard. (Mom you'll be impressed with the foliage in our backyard compared to Easter, we'll be asking you landscaping tips pretty soon). He's already tired of having a two story home, and resorts to sliding down the stairs, apparently we make him work out pretty hard. The last few weeks have just been pretty hard on him, with more time at daycare than usual and less time with mom & dad. Hopefully we'll be making up for it soon :) We are thankful all the time for how easy going he is, he could have made the move alot tougher on all of us!!

In our style, the laptop has gotten a virus right before moving, but should hopefully be all patched up soon. So, sorry no pics for now. Just a quick update from work, while I'm not using the internet for personal use :)

Where did May go???

I can't believe that May is almost gone! That isn't as crazy as the thought that we're closing on our new house a week from today, and will be moving there next weekend. We (as in Jeremy) have been packing up things and getting us ready to go. William's not sure about the whole deal, and is making sure to spread his precious belongings around the apartment, or hide them behind the TV (which is all good until he wants them back, there's quite the stash back there now :).

We're going up North to visit the families this weekend so that's exciting. We haven't seen Jeremy's family since January so it's overdue. I'm hoping it will also be good just to have a weekend away from the apartment to maybe think about something else for a brief change.

It's been CRAZY at work, lots of kids to sick to be on peds but not that critically ill. That makes for busy assignments, but has made my night shifts go by quickly. And I let work know I'll be out of town this weekned so hopefully they won't call three times a day looking for help.

So we'll be updating next weekend but then if there's a brief break in communications it will be related to getting all things up and running at the house. Did I just say that? At our house!?! How cool is that.

Thanks for checking in on us!

Thoughts for Kayleigh

Last winter I had Kayleigh's button on my sidebar. She's a little premi with lung disease & severe PPHN. She has been in the NICU since she was born 11 months ago. She had gotten alot better and I recently have taken it down. While recovering from a routine surgery which was preparing her for going home, she had a stroke & ended up with a severe anoxic brain injury. If you have a few moments please check out her website and send her family some thoughts as they are now missing their sweet girl. Health is so important, and so often taken for granted....we are so blessed.
