Big Changes

I've been behind on my blogging, but for good reason. We moved! We are still renting and dreaming of the day we can finally buy our own house. But we are happy where we are right now and so glad to be out of the apartment life. We are out in the county and renting from a guy who owns 20 acres of property. I have a few pics to share of the new place, but it is still a work in progress. The boys are sick and sleeping, so I don't want to go back in the bedrooms area right now. And the kitchen is messy, I still haven't done the dishes from dinner last night.

The back part (where most of the remaining boxes are)

My favorite part, the deck

Another change we are experiencing isn't such a good thing....BUGS. Living out in the county brings bugs. I'm not overly afraid of most bugs, but my one sworn enemy is the spider. I was bit by a poisonous spider when I was 12 and almost died from it. We have seen a couple spiders, which my husband has promised to kill any that we see, so far he's kept his promise. But our biggest issue has been mosquitos. They come out in swarms at night time. And for some reason they seem to escpecially like Ben.

You can see 2 bites on his cheek and one by his eye

Now we are trying to find a solution to the mosquitos. We noticed there is a bug zapper near our deck, but it's unplugged. We intend to ask our landlord (who is currently away in NC for 2 weeks) if he can hook it back up for us.

Another not so great new change is the boys being sick. I've considered myself pretty lucky because neither one of the boys have ever really been sick. Nicholas has had 2 fevers (the longest one lasting 24 hrs), a few snotty noses, but that's it. Then this week both boys have thrown up. Tuesday Ben threw up 3 times which consisted all of his breakfeast and lunch. This morning I woke up to Nicholas having thrown up in his bed and by his door. Ben seems to be fine now, but Nicholas doesn't feel like eatting much. All he'll really take is Gatorade. Hopefully it doesn't last long and it doesn't get passed to anyone else.

A few extras...

The camera as shaking because I was laughing
