Sadie's 15 month visit... At 16 months!

Well after dragging my feet until Sadie had her flu shots we finally had her 15 month well visit. She did great!!
22 lbs (20%)
311/2 inches long (75%)

She is also doing great developmentally. Loves playing games, peekaboo and hiding are her favorites. She gets so excited to see other children. And her vocabulary is growing by the day! Some of her favorites:
Momo (every dog) and woof for dog
neigh for horse
None (done)
nose
mouth
dada
mama (not said NEAR as much as dada)
pease (please)
ball
ousie (outside)
and a few others...

I can't wait to move into our house in 3 weeks so I can upload pictures on here! She is growing so much!!

House update:

We have a house inspection at 3 today!!! Say a prayer for us that there is nothing major wrong with it. We also talked to our loan officer (friend), and they would like us to close before thanksgiving, which is great with us!!!

No more well water....

We are under contract on a house!!!! And as long as the inspections go well, by Nov. 30, we will live in town!!! Yeah! The house was built in 1958, so we are hoping there won't be any electrical, plumbing, foundation problems. It is a cute little house FULL of charm! Still had the original glass door knobs, but the previous owners re-did the bathrooms and kitchen... With a tiny bit of room for us to do some of our own updates. It is 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, and a sunroom... Perfect size for an office. The backyard has trees and grass for Sadie to play! Plus, it is only a few houses down from the nicest park in town. The bedroom that will be Sadie's has a window seat with bookshelves on either side. Tripp's room is TINY, but we keep saying, boys don't need much room! :) Jeff and keep asking each other, "what are you most excited about?" Heres a few things on our list:
1. No more well water!! N
2. Clean cars, we won't have to drive down this dirt road!
3. Internet!!!!!!!
4. Jeff will be 5-10 minutes from his office!
5. The park!
6. No mold in the nursery!
7. Trash pick-up!!!
8. Sadie getting to go outside when she says, "ousie"!!!

Now, your job... Please pray that the inspection goes well and that we have great friends and family to help us move, since I will be 35 weeks pregnant!!!

Our week so far...

We have had a great time visiting my family in friends in the Keller area! Monday we got here just in time to get dinner aand a little grocery shopping done. Then it was off to bed! Sadie always does great sleeping in "new" places, as long as she has her noise machine, paci, and duck to sleep with. Tuesday we woke up, got ready, and took Sadie to Chicher's house where Leandra watched her while I got tires put on the car. What a FUN expense! I hate spending that kind of money on something that isn't the least bit fun! But, they needed it BADLY! Then we took Leandra to lunch to thank her for watching Sadie. Headed home and Sadie took a nap while I enjoyed 2 hours of NOTHING but blogging ;) Mom and Jim cooked us a great dinner of roast, brocolli, and cabbage... YUM! Yesterday, we picked up Joanna and her little boy, Jack (who is 1 year) and went shopping at Grapevine Mills Mall! I love that place! And it was so nice to get together with her. I remembered back to the days we would take "sick days" from work and go shopping and have sushi, my how times have changed! :) I miss her so much though. Then after naptime, Mom took me, Sadie, and Chicher (Shannon) to Ginger Brown's. SO good! They have the BEST rolls, all you can eat chicken and dumplings, and amazing cinamon rolls! I forgot to mention, every night we have been sewing up a storm, either for friends' babies, Sadie, or Tripp! I love it! :) Today, Sadie and I went to Joanna's and she played with Jack while us 2 mommies chatted! I could do that everyday! And they played so great together! I'm so upset I didn't take pictures! GRRR!!!

An update on Sadie:

Sadie is now 15 months old. She amazes us everyday! She is into EVERYTHING and has become a regular little monkey! She has 10 teeth now... we just went through cutting her top molars! YIKES! Her vocabulary is getting larger by the day. If you ask her, "what does a horse say?" She will tell you, "NEIGH"! So cute! We have been working on saying AMEN at the end of our prayers at night... and I can't wait for Jeff to get to my mom's on Friday to her that she has it mastered! We are just loving every minute of it! I can't believe how much she looks like a little person now! And, can you believe that in only 12 weeks, we will have another here? CRAZY! Life is good!

Our favorite spot!

Sadie and I have found a really great park in town! I take her quite frequently after nap. That way if daddy is working late, we can take dinner up to his office and eat with him. She loves playing on the "fire truck" and going in all the tunnels and on the swing! She says "WEE" all the time!!!

Hello out there!

I know its been so long since I've posted anything! Sadie and I are at my mom and Jim's for a few days, while Jeff is in San Antonio for work. So, I actually can post! We don't have internet and the landlord wont let us have it installed since they would have to mount the equipment. Here are a few pictures of the house we are renting.









We are living out on 16 acres about 30 minutes from Jeff's office, not too bad, but we did get used to him working 2 minutes from home. We look forward to the day we move in town and have neighbors again. I know some of you think we are crazy for liking it in town, but we just aren't country dirt road "folks"! :) It is beautiful though, don't get me wrong. Very peaceful!!!
