we are coming along...

We have been coming along here in Cincy, kinda.  Originally we were suppose to move into our new house about a month ago and as can be seen by the lack of posts, that has not happened quite yet.  Even though the house is coming along pretty slowly, we have been pretty busy with life without moving into a new house!  Charlotte and Oliver are the best of friends.  She thinks he is the sweetest, "cuuuute witta brodda" and he thinks the world revolves around her.  Just tonight Jay and I both enjoyed watching them both giggle at each other for the longest time!  I have been settling into the swing of school and I think I am starting to get comfortable and with the swing of things with my new teaching position.  Jay is about to get really, really busy, so he has been holding the whole family together while I figure things out at school. This weekend we had a good time with a bit of relaxing, spending time with family and doing some planning for the future.

We went to the Cincinnati Zoo with Grandpa, Gibby and Ben to see some "aminals" and had a nice time!

Our little house has some major plans this week to get painted on the inside and get flooring, so we decided to put our first marks on the house this evening.  The four of us had a good time writing some great verses that we hope to remember throughout the years as we grow as a family.

We will keep everyone posted on the progress of everything growing and changing including kids and house.  I have been working diligently on gathering some fun antiques for the new house, artwork that I am pretty excited about and refurbishing an old dining room table.  Fingers crossed that everything comes together soon! -Melissa
