a long awaited update...

hey there!  long time no blog, right!?!  we have been MIA in blog-world for the last month because our lives have been a whirlwind.  as most know already, we sold our old house and moved into a new one.  during the buying/selling process we decided that there was NO way we were going to risk being stuck with 2 mortgages, so we waited to buy until we were completely sold.  for that reason, there was a 3 week overlap between the time we had to be out of our old house before we got the keys to our new house.  so, to make a long story short, we moved twice! now, you'd think that'd be a pain, but our awesome THRIVE group and family helped us and both times, we were done moving in less than 3 hours...it was AMAZING!!!  we moved our entire house into a storage unit and stayed with mom and dad snavely for almost 3 weeks and then moved again into our new house.  whew, that was whirlwind!  so here's the new place:

   
here are some updates from the last month:
*after having 10 ear infections, we finally pressured greyson's pediatrician enough to get her to budge and refer him to have tubes put in his ears.  he had the surgery at the hospital and did amazing!  and so far so good, no more ear infections yet!!!

   
*hudson is still loving preschool.  we get a weekly report each week and he loves playing in the art, science and math stations.  he loves story time and learning about numbers, colors and bible stories.  it's so cool to see him growing!  he also enjoyed having both grandmas and great grandpa in to preschool to celebrate "grandparents day".  he got to spend the whole morning with them at his school and he loved showing them all around his new school!  pictures of this will come soon (we have to steal them off our mom's cameras).   

*hudson also took his first trip to the dentist.  he was a little nervous at first about going, but ended up loving it!  he did perfectly and he loved holding the big toothbrush and teeth they showed him (see picture below).  he also especially loved getting a prize from the treasure box at the end of the visit.  now he loves going to the dentist! 


*at our new house we have a jacuzzi tub in our master bathroom and the boys LOVE to take baths in it...it's like a swimming pool to them.  well, hudson also thought that the backside of the tub would be a perfect slide and ended up having 5 stitches in his chin after taking quite a spill.  oh yes, the joys of parenthood, right?!?  actually, we can't complain, he barely cried when it happened (thanks to mommy's quick grab of the red towel, so he didn't realize he was bleeding!), he didn't make a peep the whole time we were at statcare getting the stitches and has been fine ever since.  the stitches come out in the next couple days or so.  
    
   
well, about sums up that last month for us.  CLICK HERE to see some snapshots of the boys from the past several weeks!  enjoy!
