Lily says the funniest things!!!

Ok I get this alot. "Guess what Lily said today" Well her teacher told me on Wensday that Lily can up to her and said.

Lily: My Daddy is out of town.
Teacher: Oh he is
Lily: He won't be back until Friday. Which isn't tomorrow because tomorrow is Thursday and Friday comes after Thursday.
Teacher: Oh where is he.
Lily: Chicago, working
Teacher: What does your daddy do
Lily: Oh he makes the big money.

It was so cute. That's about how clued in my little 6 year old is about Jonathan's job. I remember being that old and thought that when you turned 10 that was it. I love hearing the funny things Lily comes up with.

8 months preggers.

So I have around 8 weeks left. It seems like a long time for me, but really it's not. This pic is so blurry but I had to take it myself. It's hard to do that. I might replace it later when Jonathan can help.

Painting

So I've been busy painting our bedrooms. I'm just posting the master bedroom. I like how it turned out.

I also added this green scarf to the curtains to bring some color to all the brown.

Lily playing the piano and Emma and Peter telling stories

Jonathan is away in Chicago this week for work. So we decided that we needed to show him what we are doing this week while he is gone. Lily is showing daddy that she is practicing her piano. Emma and Peter wanted to share alittle story.

100 day

Today is 100 day at Lily's school. So she has a 100 day fashion show. So I put 100 hair things.

It took along time.

Lily did really well sitting there while I did it.

Lily loved it.

Lily's Bday party

Lily had all her cousins and a friend at her party.

She just LOVVVVEESSSS cupcakes.

Here she is blowing out her candle.

The kids did crafts for the party. It was sure fun.

Lily is six

Lily is 6 today. Wow I can't believe I have a six year old.

She got a pony from Emma and Peter

Oh sisterly love.

She got clothes from Daddy and Mommy. She's having her Bday party on saturday so we will update with all the fun then.

The rest of the day.

Margaret was the first to give James a foot massage. Lily just relaxed with James for along time on his bed.

I was just messing around with the camera and I got this picture of Lily. There is no photoshop work to this one. I don't even know how I did it. It looks like Lily is a ghost. Kinda freaky, and Lily won't even look at it.

Emma is just being goofy.

The kids spent the longest time playing with James' ballons that were brought to the airport for him.

James' loot from Chile

The kids helped James open his dirty man sword.

He had some pretty neat things from Chile.

Here are some beautiful plates from Chile.

Emma enjoyed wearing his hat. I forgot what he called it.

Hugs all around

James hasn't seen Peter since he was 5 months old.

Lots and lots of hugs from everyone.

Emma sure loves James.

I even got one. It's so nice to have him home

Welcome home!!!!

James finally showed up at the last of the stream of many people coming off the plane. Margaret couldn't wait to hug here boy after 2 long years.

Lily of course was the second to greet him. She couldn't hold her excitement and wait for him to come to her.

She got the hug she's been waiting for

Father and son reunited. It was a very happy time.

James is home

James arrived at the airport yesterday. We all waited patiently for him to come

Lily and Emma were so excited to have him come home it was great.

Here is the rest of the crew counting down the minutes for his plane to arrive.

Stephen Moyer was kind enough to take a pic of everyone waiting.

I'm BACK!!!!!!!!!!!

Lily loving the loot in her stalking
Emma loved opening up her stalking as well.
I look horrible but peter sure looked cute in his hat emma got him.

Ugh!!!!!! I have been without internet for about 3 weeks, and I've been going through withdrawls. So lots have been happening. We are in our new house and we love it. It has been very busy here. We have been putting up blinds and doing the electrical in the house as we didn't have any wires run for the lights in each room. So that has been a big huge job. But having our own house is so great even though there is so much work. We moved in just before christmas so we enjoyed christmas in the house. Here are some pictures of that.

Updates

Well...... alot has been happening. I'm soooooo sooooo busy right now. I'm packing up all that I can get away with. Moving is very hard to do when you have a very very busy husband. Thankfully he'll be taking his vacation soon. Jonathan just got a new truck just right in time to move which is a life saver. We are closing on our house tomorrow. I'm so excited to say the least. We want to be in for Christmas so we have to move part of Saturday and on christmas eve. We have family parties to go to so moving is going to be a two day thing. It is just amazing how easy this whole buying a house thing has been for us. We are closing a week early and we haven't had a single kink in the whole plan at all which we were expecting. It has been seamless. We are very grateful that we found this house and made a very big decision to move at this time. Life is great right now and shouldn't it be.

More pics of the house

I didn't get a good pic of the master bathroom so here it is.

Here is my walkin closet. there is lots of space off to the right and the left.
