whew.

you know those whirlwinds in life.
well...
we are in one.
we are in the processing of moving right now
and moving with two kids under two
and two very determined people to 
get the house kinda how you like it
early on....
make for lots of sleep deprivation
and very long days.
however we are SOOOOO happy
and feel so blessed to be in our new house.
mark is loving his commute....
and i am still getting used to him being home more often
and quicker....I LOVE it!
so i just wanted to put down an few quick updates
so i dont fall too far behind.  hahaha im already really behind.

ok the kids.
 elleanne.
right after matthews wedding we started sleep training her 
again. i wanted to drop a feeding and start putting her down
earlier.
it took about a week but now she is sleeping 
from about 0830ish to 0800 in the morning.
we love having our nights back and thank goodness
we have them now for this move.
so for record keeping she did twelve hours a little after 4 months.
towards the end of the month (july) she started turning over.
and now she is constantly flipping around.
about 2 weeks ago we started solid foods...first of course we got it all back....but we keep going and now she is eating really good!
she "talks" a lot...oh great, another jesse! hahaha.
and she LOVES to laugh ...its so fun!
she is still nursing however toward the end of the day
i have to pump to keep my milk supply up.
my kids are really lazy about nursing...but they love to eat!

ok these are the pictures of elleanne in her ladybug
outfit that her great grandma gave her....she wears it all the time...this is taken right in the middle of july {4 months}...we love this outfit-thanks grandma!

and of course with her big brother.

jesse.
well not a ton to report.
he hardly ever walks....runs everywhere.
always talking
loves to play "where's the ball"
we through the ball and he goes to find.
...we runs around all day saying "wheres the ball?"
he is sleeping great in his new room
and we have the older twisting door knobs...
yea....he cant get out until we let him out!

family.
yes, we are in our house and feel so blessed
however as all of you know moving is hard work
and figuring out where everything goes is
no small task...but thankfully the move was a success
and we are on our way to settling into our new nest.
mark is very happy this morning because
we finally got enough stuff out of the garage
to put both cars in the garage...he is very 
determined to have all vehicles, workbench, bikes, motorcycles,
laundry, freezer, safe sports equipment, and our oversized stroller in our very tiny two stall garage...but its all there.
hahaha.
