Conner has been such a good little eater. I do not want to jinx it but he has been eating just about everything we put in front of him. Usually he cleans his plate and says mama I'm still hungry :) Growing boy I guess. Yesterday he says mom...my tummy is getting big like daddy's....hehe!!! I found it a little strange that he did not say that his tummy was getting big like mommy's so I asked him about it and he simply says....mom that's silly boys don't grow baby's. Baby # 3 has been very active at night to the point where my WHOLE tummy moves and you can clearly see the movements and Conner just LOVES IT!!! He asks many times a day if he can feel the baby move. Neal needs to take a lesson it's the biggest chore for him to feel baby move. Simply not into the whole experience never has been.
This is what I found on our fridge the other day. Conner later informed me that it was so that baby Ethan KNEW that he was not allowed to play with those magnets on the fridge :) I though it was a sign for me to stay away from the fridge but right now I think it would take much more than just a sign.
Most of you know that our new van broke down....yes the van we have only had for 10 days. It's just our luck but thankfully we will be able to get away with minimal cost to get it fixed. With all the towing, diagnostic, and and parts hopefully under $300 . But it's still frustrating and an expense we really do not need right now. I'm just glad the dealer was willing to help. We hope to have it back by the end of the week but for now kids and I are stuck again.
DO silly things like that make your day??? I have been wanting this reusable cup for MONTHS. I was just not willing to pay $8.99 for it but they finally went 75% off so I was able to get it....one for me and one for Neal. I had one that I used all the time (it was from the hospital after Ethans birth) but it just got so icky!!! I love it :)
Ok now for the big news.....it's official. We plan on moving AGAIN. Neal starts at a new store in about a week and a half. It's a new store on the West side of Madison. From our house it's a little over an hour to get there but that's if traffic is good and he has to drive through the center of Madison. With the hours that he works we finally decided that this is just going to be too hard on all of us. 2 hours of driving plus the 10-12 that he usually works...especially at a new store it's just too much. The down side is that he will be at this store only for 6-12 months then we will be moving AGAIN. Things are officially brewing for us to move South. Hopefully by the end of the Summer or sometime in the Fall.We are excited and nervous but mostly excited....we are hoping to end up somewhere in the Carolina's or Georgia.
SO I am now searching for apartments. We are not in a huge rush so that's good. Probably will move during the time that Neal has off when the baby arrives. We want something cheep since it's so temporary I only have two requirements, it must have laundry and it must be clean. We hate to leave our fabulous apartment though :( I just remind myself....one step closer to being settled.

Sad to hear you'll likely be leaving the state. You have such a bright outlook though and see the "light at the end of the tunnel". Wishing you the best the next several months... baby... move.. etc. :)
I am excited for you but what a tone of work. We love living south and hope you will, too. We are proud of you and proud of your husband!!
heehee! Love Connor's sign on the fridge...and your comment about thinking it was intended for you! LOL! Too funny! Good luck in the next little while! Looking forward to having you guys at least a little bit closer! Maybe we'll actually get a chance to meet up with you!! :)
Well Tues was a big post day for you and I'm just getting around to reading it! I too love the picture Conner drew. Quite the little artist! Funny STOP sign too. :) Glad your van is fixed - hoping it stays that way for a while now! One thing that helps with the fuel pump is to keep a fairly full tank of gas. Just speaking from experience. ;) Not sure I'm liking the fact that you're moving further away. :( Good luck with everything. Oh, and Derek was never in to feeling baby move in my tummy either. He said it freaked him out. LOL I'll gladly feel your belly for you when you visit next week!!
