I'd be lying if I said I knew where to begin. It saddens me greatly that all this time has gone by with only 2 posts over the summer. So much has happened, so much has changed! Our lives have changed greatly! Ill do my best to do an update without writing a novel but it's gonna be tough!
We spent the summer in our rental house with grandma Debbie in Ann Arbor. Thank God this woman retired and volunteered her precious time to watch her crazy grandchildren while Dad studied for the BAR and mom traveled across the state to work! From swings in the trees and squirt guns in the front yard I'm not sure the kids could have had a better summer (with the exception of having their parents around a little more. Summer was rolling on and our up coming move to our new house in Grand Rapids was approaching fast. July had come to an end, Mick took his BAR (results pending) and our closing date on our house was in three days. This my Friends is when all hell brakes loose! As if our summer wasn't crazy enough. So we find out our future home in a "community" has an easement in the backyard. This would prevent us from putting up a fence unless we moved in in 10ft. My husbands thought on this....."Hell NO!" And that was the end of our future home........now we are homeless! Yes, I said homeless! So what do we do? We buy a camper and go camping DUH! Right when I thought our lives were about to slow down. HA! So within a couple weeks we find a house we both agree on again! WOW the last one took us over 4 months to find and agree on. I have to say I was a bit less picky, being homeless has that effect on me. Now, we need a place to rent. A short term lease in our new school district (so Ky wont have to switch schools) and one that will allow our nice small lap dog Doctor J. Hhhmmmm not so easy to find!!! Oh did I mention that our campground has WIFI? This made home shoppin' a breeze (please sense sarcasm there.....thank you!) Low and behold the last day before I was to condemn us to an apartment complex (a rather nice one) Up pops a short term lease! A 3 bedroom home in the Forest Hills School district and dogs are allowed! All topped off with river frontage!!! wooo woooo! Do we really need to come look at it? Well Take it!!!!! So this is where we stand, renting a cute little place on the river waiting for our new home ONCE AGAIN. If I've ever had a good excuse for not blogging....I think that's it!
So things have turned and seem to be going well. Ky loves kindergarten and is planning on having a party next month inviting all the boys in his class. He gonna be 5! Wow 5! He started Soccer this year and Mick is his coach. Not sure if the kids really know whats going on but its fun to watch, with the exception of trying to keep Nolan from running after the ball! Hockey also started this past week. This season he seems a little more reserved and I'm not quite sure why. But Mick thinks its because the amount of kids on the ice has tripled and its a bit more organized than the learn to skate program, more focused on actual hockey fundamentals. I'm sure he will come out of his shell in no time. He better for the price of ice time!!!
Nolan....well I'm going to save that for a post in its self! If anybody needs birth control let me know and Ill package my Pie up and send him your way!
