Is it really March 31?!

Well, it is Monday again, and the last day of March. It's hard to believe how fast time is flying by. We still haven't had any new bites on the house. In fact, we really haven't even had many people looking. I'm hoping that once the weather improves, things will change. We have significantly lowered the price too, so keep your fingers crossed!

Updates on the kiddos: Maddox has now decided to start getting on his hands and knees to rock. Why he is trying that after all this time is beyond me! He has 5 teeth, and is working on his sixth. He's saying "Katie" and mama and dada (although he doesn't really know the meaning yet). Go figure, he knows the dog before us! The pictures with the food on his face was his first experience with my favorite - powdered donuts. You would think I would have learned my lesson with the 50 cavities the girls have had, but nooooooo........

The girls had a tower building contest tonight. You decide who the winner is.... :) They are almost done with their first year of school! It's so hard to believe. Where does the time go? Makena is still pretty laid back and could care less about boys. Maiki is a little diva and is very boy crazy. She spends lots of time in the mirror!

My job is going well, and I'm adjusting to working again. We just really hope we can be home soon and really feel settled. We miss everyone!!

Happy St. Paddy's Day!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Mad Max is 10 months old today. Hard to believe.... He and I are all alone this week. The girls are on Spring Break at aunt Angie's house, and Mike is on a work train. So, the little man and I have been cleaning and grocery shopping and doing taxes! :) Here are a couple of pictures from tonight. We are bathing him in the kitchen sink because the tub faucet broke. (sigh....) I can't WAIT until this house sells!!! We had another couple look today, so I'm hopeful. I have missed two days of work again because all the kiddos have been sick one after the other. I think we are finally at the end of it though.

Half-way through the week....

Well, we're halfway through another week in Salina. We had another open house last weekend. Evidently there were only about three people that looked. :( One lady is very interested, and has been here twice, but her husband hasn't seen it and we have no idea what their situation is. We thought we had it re-sold to the man that used to own it, but that fell through. I am trying to stay positive. It's only been a week and a half on the market. At least we have people interested, and God has a way of always letting things work out for the best. I try not to question his plans. We are just very homesick and want to get a house in Lawrence before the rates go back up. Keep your fingers crossed for us!!

My job is going well, but this past week has been a little rough there as well. There are days when I wonder if my resume was mixed up with someone else's and they made a mistake hiring me! I don't feel like I know anything sometimes. But, I'm plugging away, and trying to learn all I can as quickly as I can. I do love it though. I just hope they'll keep me around!!!

The kiddos have all been sick again. I'm so tired of this winter!!! Thank goodness we finally got some decent weather. Long story short, we can use your thoughts and prayers right now.....

Mad Max and the Mohawk

I had to attach these photos. They were just too cute. This is Mad Max at 9 months with his mohawk, and trying to give Maiki some very wet kisses. :)

Update

Okay, so we are finally done with the house!!! (Well, not quite, but close enough that we feel like we can breathe!) We had our first open house on a very crappy day, with zero advertising (because we weren't done soon enough) and we still had 8 couples and a few nosey neighbors come through. Needless to say, we were very excited. So, I'm attaching some "after photos" although you can't truly appreciate it unless you saw it in person, with the flu. Just imagine lots of hues of green and orange and lots of swag lamps, Circa 1972.
