We own a Home!

Sorry it's been so long since I last posted. We've had a busy few weeks. The most exciting event was the buying of our first home! We closed on the 28th of May and have been spending every waking moment since then, trying to fix it up and meet the requirements for the code inspection. We now have three homes; our apartment, which we will reside in until the end of the month, our new house, and Lowe's. All I can say is thank you stimulus and come again next year!

The new house is coming along slowly but surely. Yesterday we walked in to the smell of mildew and discovered the basement carpet and some of the Sheetrock was wet. We think it's because of all the rain we've been getting, but frankly we have no idea what we're doing so pray for us y'all! I've been living in paint clothes and my hands and arms are covered in a rainbow of colors. (Kay, Abby, and Moley, I did you proud!) I've finished painting none of the rooms, but have definitely marked my territory! David was a real man and went to Lowe's by himself tonight, which is why I get to blog. The other reason is this:

My poor boys! Jacob has been sick with a cold, fever, rash, double ear infection for the last week and he has needed a lot of attention and love. Tonight I went to put Jake down for the night and when he finally fell asleep, I found Caleb outside of his bedroom door. My sweet little man had been waiting so long that he fell asleep on the floor. I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel so guilty when things like this happen. I wish I could give my boys the attention they needed 100% of the time. They are growing up so fast and I feel like I am running behind trying to catch up, but I keep missing things. (For those of you who aren't obsessive control freaks, this is a very difficult thing to accept!) They deserve so much! Man am I glad that they have a great dad that is usually home at night to help me out!

Hmmmmm......Anyway, today at the Dr.'s office there was a little girl there that was just younger than Caleb. She kept trying to take Caleb's book and frankly, just wanted to be in our space. Which I normally wouldn't mind except for the fact that she was there because she was sick! She tried to sit in Caleb's chair and when Caleb told her that he wanted to sit by himself, she climbed off, then proceeded to plant a big kiss right on his lips! The Hussy!!! They just met! I later asked Caleb what he thought about it and he said, "It made me uncomfortable." Yes! I told him it was because he was such a stud, but mommy was the only girl who got to kiss him. Grandmas and aunts can too if they fly out here and visit! All in all, we got the prescription that we went there for, so I would say the trip was a success. Here's to first kisses and drugs!
