Remodeling the house that Jeff grew up in and moving 2+ hours to that house.
We are hoping to move the beginning of March.
With that said......things have been busy around here... as if they aren't busy enough already. Which brings me to my point.... we are usually really busy (who isn't these days) so add on the craziness of a MOVE and things get really wacky.
SO here are some tidbits.... not complaints by any means.....
I also know we aren't the only ones that are busy and running around like crazy people.
The last few months seem like a blurry whirlwind....
We are still in the process of selling our current home..... it has been on the market since July. We received a good contract on it but it is contingent on their buyer selling.
Quite a trick during this market. Saying a prayer that it all works out.
With the selling of the current home comes showings..... oh the joys of keeping a house clean and neat with the littles undoing everything I do. Bless their hearts. I will be SOOOO glad when the days of home showings are over.
We were without viruses or whatever seems to be going around all season during September, October, and November. It seemed everyone around us was sick during that time. We thought we were just doing great not catching anything.
Then December hit and we all fought colds, then again in January, and now again in February.
Back to the February virus... Ty got it first... just a fever and cough. Then Lily.... she had the same fever and cough thing. When we first met Lily I was surprised that she was always HOT.... our guide in China said, "CANTONESE BABY ALWAYS HOT." She was so right... Lily is ALWAYS warm and toasty. So when she gets a fever Jeff and I both say, "Cantonese baby always hot." This week our little Cantonese baby felt like a furnace.
If the littles being sick wasn't enough... add in that on Thursday night... Jeff (he never gets sick) went to bed not feeling well. I woke at 11pm to what sounded like a Lord of the Rings monster in our bathroom..(no Lord of the Rings.. .it was Jeff) ...... sorry if that was Too Much Info... we'll see how closely Jeff reads my posts...
Somehow I have managed to ward off whatever they have.... thinking a mask of some sort might be a good idea.
Now mind you we are moving in a month or so....seems it would be really great to have a lot packed by now.... it WOULD be great... however the reality is that only a few boxes are packed.
OH BOY....
Lily and Ty giving their approval of their future rooms.....

Praying your home sells....your family improves....you remain without sickness....and that that all the pieces fall into place according to His plan!!!

Love you!

Oh, these are exciting times!! Praying your home will sell, in perfect timing! We left a house unsold in another state...so nerve wracking - but once we took the leap of faith, God provided (He likes to do that??!!!!)
Hugs,

That's interesting that Lily is hot-blooded. So is Nate. He can never keep shoes on because his feet get so sweaty...even when we were up north at the snow. He always feels like he's burning up, so we've always called him our "little hot pot"...esp since he came from the Sichuan province!
Oh girl - I TOTALLY hear you! Is moving not the pits? Totally worth it in the end, but tough stuff going through it. Please promise me once our kiddos kick their viruses, that Liiy and Ty can come over to play and then you can get some packing done without "help". :)
LOL (at the Lord of the Rings monster comment). I wish you all much good health!!
Don't worry too much about packing...once you get into it, it goes pretty fast. It's just finding what went into which box when you arrive that can be, uh, fun!
You have my prayers going for the quick sale of your house! Also, I'm so sorry Jeff & the littles have been sick (hope Jeff is better). I love the picture of princess Lil & prince Ty giving their approval of the new house! What cuties! Love you very much,
Mom
All I can say is purge... seriously... it is all easier to pack than unpack. After 20 moves... YES, 20 moves... the thing that make the move the easiest is a good prepack purge!
Good luck! Hope everyone is feeling better soon!
Cantonese Baby Always Hot. I can vouch for that. My little cantonese baby still sweats when she sleeps. Heaven forbid when she gets sick. She is a sweaty, hot mess. Plus she runs so hot, it makes it hard to tell if she is running a fever, and when she does it is always sky high. I am glad to know we aren't the only one that experiences the hot baby thing.
