What we have been up to lately

Life is somewhat slowing down...in slowing down I mean staying consistent. Danny is still working for his uncle for the solar water heating business. I am still doing photography www.lemairephoto.com, homeschooling Mr. Nate, and getting Lucas going with his letter sounds, yada yada. Emery Rose is rocking our world with her crazy personality.

We have been in the new house for about a month and a half and still haven't unpacked something...yikes. We moved at the worst time ever! But it is starting to feel like home. ( I think ) We have so many dreams and ideas for this house, but limited on cash and time. One day!

I will be posting new photos soon of the house and what we are doing to fix it up!

What I have been up to

Around October I started taking photos like crazy! It's been demanding and I love it, and I just can't stop! We moved into our house on Dec 14, which was extremely crazy and stressful. The month before we got in was ridiculous. Pushing back dates, asking for more money, something broken on the house. I cried a few times. Was totally blessed by family. I have amazing family. Got through the holiday's in one peace, and getting over a cold that I have had since Christmas!

We have now been in the house for 4 weeks, still trying to adjust and doesn't quite feel like home yet. Keeping busy with home-schooling! Working and booking weddings, and feeling very excited about the road ahead with the photography business!

So while I have been complaining so much lately, I just want to thank God, for my blessing, for my eyes, my dwelling place, my kiddos, and my extremely handsome husband.

New years resolution!

My New Years resolution of 2010 is to TAKE CARE OF MYSELF

Hard to do when you are a wife, a mother to three, and have a growing business. But I am getting organized and realizing how important this is! I have been sick A LOT in 2009 and its because I don't sleep well, I dont feed myself regularly and I just let the stress build. I have to stop! I can't handle it anymore!

So here's to 2010, treating me nicely!

I'm still here

Alive.CRAZZZZY.and will commit to blogging soon...

We might get keys today

tears . crazy . nervous . panic attack . really excited. BROKE.

leaving home

I sit here drinking my coffee, watching Emery chase the boys around a piles of boxes in the living room ( holding a toy axe ) and I am sad to be leaving this place :(

We will be moving into our first "purchased" home in a couple of weeks, and I am sad because I love this town-home and all the memories we have made in it.  We moved here two years ago Dec 1 and now will be moving out...I got pregnant with Em the first month we moved here and brought her home here.  I have watched my boys become less baby and more big kid.  We struggled here when Danny's job was terrible, and we comforted our selves here during long winters and hot summers.  I feel safe here.  It's the longest we have ever stayed in one place.  

I pray the kids will be okay leaving.  I, on the other hand will be holding back tears.  Please pray that we will all adjust well, and praise God for this opportunity to own our own home and be saving a couple hundred dollars at the same time.  WE NEVER thought that would happen.  And please pray the current owner will leave the place clean ( its a short sale ) so that we wont have added stress on our backs.
