They Grow Up Too Fast.....


Let's see.....we closed on our house a couple of weeks ago!! As I was packing everything, I have to admit I did get a little sad because it was our first house and I really loved the house, just not the location. But we had lots of help from family and friends and we got everything packed up. We have most of it in storage at this point and then our necessities at my parents with us. We are so thankful that we have the opportunity to stay at my parents house right now while we are paying off some bills and saving up some money. My parents have three extra bedrooms so, Scott & I are in one room, Kirsten is in one room by herself, but Kirsten's room also includes all of the kids toys, clothes, etc. Then Jevin & Caitlyn are staying in the same room, which they are used to doing. But here lately Kirsten has began to notice they get to sleep together (which they always have since they were babies) and Kirsten is wanting to sleep with them or sleep with Scott & I. She will NOT go to sleep in her bed. So we usually let her fall asleep in our bed then move her to her bed, but she usually ends up back in our bed at some point in the middle of the night.

Kirsten turned 2 years old in January. It was hard on me to think my baby girl is already 2 years old! You really do not realize how fast kids grow up till you have your own. It seems like yesterday that Jevin & Caitlyn were babies!! And now they are in 1st & 2nd grade!! WoW!!! Caitlyn also had a birthday, she turned 7 on Valentines day!! Both of the girls had awesome birthdays!! Kirsten had a "Barney" birthday theme and Caitlyn had a "butterfly" birthday theme!! They got lots of clothes and a few toys!! Jevin's birthday is coming up soon though...he will be 8 in April!! And that is just crazy to me!! He is such a great big brother...it amazes me how boys are so much more caring and loving! Dont get me wrong my girls are too, but Jevin just has a huge heart and he would do pretty much anything to make his sisters happy. I just hope one day that the girls will appreciate all that he gives to them!

Anyway, that is pretty much all that is going on in our lives at the moment!! The above pic is of the kids, this is the pic that was on our Christmas Card!!

They are growing uo fast. But I am sorry, I absolutely love your kids, and will treat them like my own from here on out! Can we try and convince Scott to have a reversal......I so want another baby!
