Where did summer go?
I cannot believe it is September already! I think it just hit me that summer is almost officially over. Sad yes, but it happens every year, so it's ok, it comes back next year. A lot of stuff has happened this summer. The reason I haven't posted since June is probably because I have been so crazy with all that life has thrown at us.
Haylie and Ethan are getting so big. Ethan will be 18 months at the end of the month and Haylie will be 2 1/2 at the beginning of October. I am hoping to get Haylie into some dance classes by next year. I think she would do very well. Meanwhile she dances at home, sings too. She is very artistic and VERY active. Ethan's favorite things are to eat and sleep! I cannot believe how much this kid eats! He can eat the same amount as a grown man! If he is like this now, how is it going to be when he is 15? I am afraid of how much my grocery bill will be!
Michael's job has changed again for obvious reasons. Ford is not doing so well in the truck department, as everyone is aware. He has switched plants to Wayne Stamping in Wayne, MI. This is a very good change for him. He is now making the Ford Focus, working the midnight shift. Michael is so much happier and in such a better environment. Dearborn was such a mess and very political. The kind of stress he was under was so hard on him. I am so glad he is not working the weekends anymore! Finally we can all four of us go to church together again! Michael has finished the summer session of school and has decided not to go back this fall. We just think that concentrating on a few other things in life right now were important. I think he might go back at another time in the future.
At the beginning of the summer we started our search for our first home. WOW! This is a very frustrating process! All of the foreclosed/bank owned homes are great deals but they would require not only a lot of work but a lot of money to make them livable. Finally we found a home that we LOVED. It was a little smaller than we wanted and it only had a one car garage, but the basement was very nicely finished and it was all updated and newly painted etc. We put an offer in on it last week and waited all weekend for a response. Yesterday we found out that the owners owe more on the house that what it is worth in this market so they can't sell it and they will be taking the house off the market. What a huge disappointment! I know God has different plans for us and the house we will be living in, but I don't want to move in December! So the search for the perfect home for us continues!
Another reason we were hoping very much to move soon is because we are once again expecting. YES! You heard me right! Third times a charm I guess! We are very excited to be having another baby but under a little stress because we were not expecting to be expecting until we moved to a home. Now there is just a little, no, a lot of pressure. So if anyone knows of a great home in the metro area for sale PLEASE let me know!
Other than all that we have been having lots of fun this summer! We have been to the zoo a few times. Usually we are busy having play dates with our favorite friends, playing with cousins, and visiting grandparents and great grandparents. Having barbeque's and relaxing afternoons are one of our favorite things to do. Oh, and I FINALLY just got a new camera after dealing with my broken one for a while. I can post pictures now! YAY!
God Bless all of you! Life is so good! God is even better!
