Just a quick note to let you all know we're still here. It's just been so busy with moving that I haven't had time to blog. And it's so boring without pictures, but I definitely don't have the hours it takes to get pictures up. Soon we will have a better internet connection and life will be back to some semblence of order. Til then, help!!!!

Sorry it's been so long in between posts. The great news is....our house is sold! It's been a quick, crazy ride. We just decided a little over a month ago to sell our house, and it's already sold. It was only on the market for 2 weeks. We close on May 15. This week will be busy getting ready for a HUGE garage sale on Friday and Saturday. I'm getting rid of all of the baby stuff (sniff, sniff!) It's been a hard decision, but I think 2 kids is really enough for us. My mom keeps telling me that I can still have more children because I can just buy more stuff if I change my mind. I think it's hard for her to imagine anyone wanting to have less than 3 or 4 children. And it's not that I don't WANT any more children, I'm just not sure of my capability of RAISING any more children. I really do have my hands full with my two precious (and precocious) boys. And I do love them dearly.

Speaking of.......it's time for the Isaac and Timmy report! First off is Isaac........I completed the first part of his Kindergarten registration this week. Can't believe my baby's off to school in the fall. He was quite excited and wanted to go next week. I told him he'd have to wait until after the summer. He's ok with that now. Isaac has been having fun playing a lot outdoors finally! The weather has been much better so we're outdoors more now. Isaac's big accomplishment has been that he can now cross the road by himself (with Mom watching very carefully) to go to his friend Alex's house. He's very grown up now! Timmy is not feeling well today, but looked quite smashing in a green argyle sweater vest and matching socks (with pants and shoes, of course, you perverts!) at church this morning. He's started really understanding what's going on and will bring his shoes and socks to me if he wants to go outside. He also puts his shoes away (on the correct shelf, even!) and goes to his room on his own when it's time to get dressed. When it's time to leave he runs to the door shouting "Go, go, go!". And tonight we were sitting on the couch cuddling when I told him it was time to go night-night. He hopped down off the couch and waddled into his room and waited fro me to put him into his crib. His latest words are "book", "nana" (for banana) and "Maddie" and "Chloe" (my friend Pam's 2 girls). He's growing so fast it's hard to keep up! It's such a fun time with both the boys as they're both learning all sorts of new things every day. I'll try to get pictures up sometime soon, but I'm not making any promises. Things will be a little easier now that Easter is over and Maurice will have more time at home, but now we have to start the whole moving thing. Hopefully we should get our townhouse by the end of this week and we can start painting and moving the small stuff over. I'm sad to leave our house and neighbors, but I also am excited to start this new part of our lives. It's going to be a good thing!

Here's a glimpse into today..........I am on the computer procrastinating so I don't have to clean the bathroom just yet. We're showing the house again today, and it really is killing me to clean the house every day. Timmy is screaming ast the top of his lungs because he doesn't want to take a nap but he REALLY needs one! Isaac has a buddy over and they're upstairs being "quiet". Which for 2 four-year-olds sounds like a herd of elephants. No wonder Timmy can't sleep. And I, being the fanstastic mother that I am, am ignoring it all for a few minutes while I try to find my sanity. I wonder if they sell it on e-bay?
