What is up with us?

I did it! I updated my blog (see next 3 posts). Big smiles over here right now. Life is good in our neck of the woods. Lots of big changes happening. House is for sale. It's awesome, someone should buy it. We are more than a little bit sad to have to move but I, at least, have swallowed that nasty pill and have moved on to accepting our situation for what it is and realizing things have to change. We will be moving in with my parents when the house sales and begin our time there, hopefully not annoying grandma and grandpa too much.

Landon is the king of the house. He thinks he is in charge and, let's face it, he is. If he laughs you better be laughing too. He entertains us constantly, gives us all hugs and kisses, and is into everything. He never stops. Let's just say it makes keeping my home ready for a showing a little bit difficult. He is growing like crazy and I think people will think my boys are triplets before too long.

Logan has turned into this happy-go-lucky boy who plays by himself for hours, entertains Landon, is excited when Lincoln gets home for school and is very social boy, always wanting friends to come or go visit someone. He loves to have long conversations with me about random things, explaining to me how the world works in his own little way. Whenever I drop him off at preschool I say, "Have fun at preschool." He always replies without fail, "Okay, and you have fun with Lands."

Lincoln is the boy every parent dreams of having, not even kidding. He looks for ways to help me at all times, senses when I am frurstrated or overwhelmed and will attempt to lift my spirits. He is a super student, loves to do homework and read. He got one frowny face at school for doing something he didn't realize would give him a frowny face and he was in tears for hours after school about it. He makes friends easily and is a joy to be around.

Ella is a girl. That sounded lame, but she is still struggling a bit. She hates change and is worried about moving. She hasn't made any great friends in her class at school and in fact has some girls that aren't too nice in her class, which causes a bit of drama for us. She is hot and cold. She wants me to snuggle her, lay by her, give all my attention to her, and then the next minute she really wants nothing to do with me or her brothers. We're working on it, but I'm sure it will be a long process for us. Lots of prayers and lots of patience needed.
