North Carolina Bound

So we are finally heading to North Carolina! Tomorrow is my last day of work and we will be moving to NC sometime the first week of August. We are still working on getting a place to live. We are hoping to have something lined up this week. Surprisingly, I am not worried. I know God will provide a place for us in His time and I am at peace with it. Kevin is a little worried, but I have been able to keep him calm. I am very excited and look forward to this new adventure. I won't be doing much blogging (not that I have been doing much blogging) until we get all settled. Please pray that we would have safe travels and that the kids would handle the transition well.

Speaking of the kids, I just wanted to let you know that Lauren is going on 5 1/2 months of no bleeding. The longest she has gone has been 5 months, so we are hopefull that whatever was causing the bleeding has gone away. We still have her on Miralax, but only 3/4 to 1 teaspoon a day instead of the 4 teaspoons she was on in January. We are hoping that if she can go a year without bleeding, then we will take her off of the Miralax completely.

That's all the updates I have for now. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

It's been awhile

Boy, it sure has been awhile since I last posted. Packing was just consuming every minute of my day. We were able to load the truck on time and in the pouring rain. Thank you Matt for your help, Kevin said you were a workhorse! We couldn't have done it without you. We headed out Sunday morning after church and arrived here in Minnesota Thursday afternoon. It sure was a long drive and the kids were awesome. Thankfully, my Mom brought two portable DVD players along so that the kids could have some entertainment. We have now been here for two weeks and we are still unpacking. The big stuff is done, but the little stuff is taking awhile. I also started my new job on Monday, so Kevin is now Mr. Mom. The kids seem to enjoy it, and the apartment hasn't burned down yet, so I think it will work out for awhile. It has been nice to be with adults and have adult conversations! We are getting Curtis ready for kindergarten. His school is one mile up the road and it sounds like a really good school. I took him in to have his early childhood screening done yesterday and it didn't go to well. Curtis did not want to co-operate and I was told to put him in a preschool or kindergarten readiness class. I'm not sure what to do because we can't afford to put him in preschool or the readiness class.

Lauren is still Lauren and she is adjusting very well. She still doesn't like to wear clothes and I'm not sure what to do about that. I'm hoping that she will grow out of it.

Claire is standing by herself all of the time now and she has taken a couple steps by herself too! She loves to dance to any kind of music and she has a great sense of humor. Now if I could only get her to sleep through the night, I would be a happy camper. That's all that's new with us, so here are some pictures from the last month.

This was a week before we moved. Need I say more:)

When we were driving through New Mexico, a bunch of NASCAR trucks passed us. This is Tony Stewart's truck. I felt like I was in the movie Cars!

The kids playing in the snow in Missouri. They had so much fun:)

Here is the big girl standing on her own. She is growing up too fast!
