Moving ON!

Well, Life has been a little busy this week. We have been packing, packing, and more packing. I feel like I own a million things. We are officially moving out of our current home as we have sold it. We are so excited as the next step for us is to build our first home together. We are scared and excited at the same time. Life is great for us and we couldn't be any happier.

As for the girls, they are excited and wondering why we are taking all their things. Their little minds just don't comprehend that we are not going to be living in this home anymore. Tonight is our last night here. As we only have our mattresses and a few clothing items left in the house, it seems weird.
Annalia said "Mommy, why are the walls repeating what I am saying to you?" She was referring to the echo heard throughout our empty home.
And as for Lainey, she kept saying "no my toys, peese keep" I told her that we are keeping them, just in a box and not all over the place. She eventually got the point and her and Annalia both started helping us pack.
As far as where we are moving, it's my Mom's house. She is gracious enough to allow us to live with her as we are building our home. We are very thankful that we have such great friends and family that have helped us along the way. I truly believe that God takes care of those who take care of him. signing off for now...RM

Little Minds

Ok so here it goes. Lainey cracked me up the other day and I thought I would share it with ya'll so ya'll could laugh too! Annalia was at school and Lainey and I were playing with the dollhouse. As usual Lainey likes to rearrange the furniture from room to room and the dolls as well. I am trying to teach her the correct names of all the furniture and the proper place for each piece. As I am teaching her the difference between the dinning room chair and the living room chair, she looks up at me and says "look momma, living room chair, I sit" I immediately praise her for understanding the difference and then notice that she is trying to sit in the chair. It was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. She kept moving the chair as she was trying to fit into it. I was laughing so hard I cried and she look at me with this look as if she thought she was in trouble for making me cry. I quickly regained control of myself and began explaining to her that the chair was for the dolls not us and her reply was "ok momma" as if she totally understood.

As I sat down later and really thought about this, I began to think about how sweet an innocent a child is and how blessed I am to have this opportunity to have one. I love my babies.. RM

Weekend

So the weekend is about over and I am just sitting down to relax. Friday started off with my hubby's birthday. We had a little cake and he blew out his candles as Annalia sang him her own version of Happy Birthday. This is a little how it goes...
"Happy Birthday to Daddy,
Happy Birthday to Daddy,
Happy Birthday to Daddy because I love you, your the best and it's your birthday,
Happy Birthday to my Daddy"
It was so cute and he was touched.

On another note Annalia has learned to spell her first name, yes only her first name as you all know that it will take many months maybe years to learn our last name thanks to all the letters. She is so proud of herself that she has been spelling it for everyone including our cashier at Wal-mart.

Lainey is learning to dress herself along with all the accessories. She thinks that she has to have a purse with every outfit. The other day we were about to walk out the door and she starts yelling wait, wait as if something was majorly wrong. I turn around to look at her and she is pointing back inside, so I as her what, she replies " my puuuurse, peese" ( my purse please). She had forgotton her purse on the couch and was not about to leave without it.

Well, that is all for now as I need to get to bed.--RM

Day 2 of Blogging

Ok so today is day 2 of this blogging thing so I guess I will add a little more of my thoughts to this site. Last night I had to work with little rest before I arrived. Needless to say it made for a long night. My 12 hour shift felt like it lasted 24 hours instead of actually 12. I could barely hold my eyes open as I was driving home. All I could think of was my pillow and my warm bed. So I hurry home and take my usual shower and then it's off to bed I go. Well, I fell asleep instantly for about 45 minutes, then I was wide awake. Now I am listening to 2 kids run around like crazy because they are full of engery and cooped up in this house. Now I am thinking of ways to entertain them for a bit so I can get a few minutes of shut eye before heading back to work for another 12 hours. Annalia comes up with the idea that we need to play hide N seek. I agree and off we go to run about the house like crazy kids and hide from one another. It is now my turn to find the girls. I count to 10 and off I go through the house to hunt them down, as I get closer to them Lainey starts giggling and jumps from the covers on the bed. I grab her and she is so excited. I then ask her " Do you know where Annalia is?" and she replies "EIA (aka Annalia) is here, pointing to the bathroom. I can hear Annalia bursting at the seams with laughter as we find her. After all the fun was over, I decided to sit down and think about how lucky I am to have these two great girls in my life. Now matter how tired I may be, my 2 little ones always find some little bit of energy in me and keep me going. I just want to close with the thought of how wonderful life is to have such great little bundles of joys. I don't know what I would do without them. Hope you all have a great day and enjoy reading my thoughts as I type them down for you. May God Bless and I will be back soon to add a little more to this site.... Signing off---RM

NEW

Ok, well where do I start. First of all I am new to this blogging thing so please be patient with me as I learn this new world. I am open to suggestions and tips to this world as well, so feel free to help me out.
I want to start out by telling everyone a little about how things are going in our lives at this time. Annalia started her first day of pre-k today and I am so excited. She was a big girl and dressed herself. She is growing up so fast. Lainey on the other hand is still my little baby as I like to call her. She is learning new things each day. SHe loves her "EIA"(annalia) as she calls her and did not want to leave her at school today. It was so sweet. They hugged and kissed a bunch of times before I had to pull them apart. Nothing makes me smile more than to see both of their faces light up with excitement to be with one another. Don't get me wrong they have ther fighting moments as well, but the good moments out weigh the bad. I love my girls and am excited to start this site so all of our friends and family can enjoy them too.
