What we have been doing

I am getting behind on our updates so here is the latest over the last month...

We are STILL trying to sell the house.  Have had a bunch of showings but no offers yet.  I just swapped out all the old appliances for stainless ones to update the kitchen.  Thanks to my friend Courtney, I got a wonderful deal.  Amy had the smart idea to spray paint the handles to clean them up a bit and it was a brilliant and cheap idea!  Mike swapped out the lighting and now it looks more modern.

Baby Z still has no name!  She is kicking and moving around and we are getting excited to meet her in the next few months.  I have been feeling pretty good although it is very different being a mom and pregnant this time.  No time for naps :)

Sadie is now a two and a half year old, so hard to believe!  Here is what she has been up to lately:
  • We went to NC to see Nichole, Greg, Jack and Claire in January.  Sadie and I had so much fun!  She loves Jack and Claire and we still get to facetime them.  Thanks Nichole and Greg for a great time!
  • Sadie is still going to "school" two days a week and her teachers say she listens really well and is very quiet! She must store it all up because when she gets home she is a chatterbox!
  • She knows all her ABC's and loves to sing the ABC song. 
  • She loves puzzles and can do a 12 piece puzzle by herself. 
  • Still no interest in potty training at all.  She is more than ready, but i have not forced it yet.
  • She loves Toy Story movies, Tinkerbell, Tangled and loves talking about the characters.
  • She loves playing with babies, feeding them, dressing them, talking to them.  When she hears one cry she says "aww baby is sad wants its Sadie"  I think she is getting ready to be a big sister.
  • She tells me that she has a baby brother in her tummy and talks about baby sister all the time.
  • She is a monkey and loves to run, play hide and seek and play at the park
  • She loves her Daddy and can't wait for him to get home to run with her
  • Sadie has also gotten into the whiny phase! She can throw a good fit when she wants too.
