Adjusting

Bradley is already 3 1/2 weeks old. I can't believe it. We are all starting to adjust to life with a new little one. I feel like I am just starting to do things again. I am still not all the way up and running but today was the first day without help. Jeremy went to school and my mom had to go back to work. She was staying with me on Tuesdays and Thursdays but it's time to get back to reality. She did call and check on me though to make sure I was behaving myself. My mom is so good to me!

Here's an update on the buying a house project....we finally got our approval so we started looking with our realitor. The second house we looked at we both fell completely in love with. It was a Saturday and I didn't want to buy the first house I wanted to shop around so we waiting until Monday morning we went looking some more and went back to the 2nd one we looked at and decided to make an offer. We were told there was another offer put in over the weekend on it but if we got our offer in by that day ours would be considered also. With a lot of hard work we got our offer in before the time they told us, but the response we got back was...It's too late. UGG! They just had an hour earlier accepted the offer from the other people. BACK TO SQUARE ONE. How frustrating. The house was PERFECT for us. In our price range, the perfect size, oh it was spectacular. Jeremy and I are both so bummed out we are already ready to give up. But we keep telling ourselves, it must not have worked out for a reason. It wasn't meant to be. We will find something. But in the back of my mind I am still disappointed. Oh well, nothing we can do. Let's move on. So we are meeting again with the realitor tomorrow to look at a bunch more. We'll keep everyone posted on how it goes.

I finally went back to church since having Bradley. People were probably starting to think I was inactive. :) I just went to part of church though, I didn't want to overdo myself. It was so nice to go back though. I like going to church, even when the kids are out of control and I can't focus on the speakers.

We had Daisha and Bryton's birthdays this past week. Daisha turned 7 and Bryton turned 4. They just got their cakes from the Walmart bakery since I was still down. They liked that idea though. Things turned out great for their parties and everyone helped me and didn't expect much of me, thank goodness. The kids were both happy with their gifts and everyone that came. Thanks to everyone who came. The kids love you all and appreciate all you do for them!



I'm starting to get excited for next month already. We have Easter coming up. Jeremy and I always take the family to Pine. It's been our tradition for 8 years now. Also in April I heard Jeremy's great grandma is coming home for a month. She hasn't gotten to see Bradley yet and I know how much she loves babies. She sent us a beautiful homemade blanket today in the mail for him. She has made all of our kids (her great great grandchildren) beautiful blankets.

That is a perfect picture of Bradley. I'm glad I had you take it then. It looks like you had it professionally done. That is the kind of pictures I tried to take of Zakary when he was new. Maybe I just need to add the black backround like you have. How'd you do that? Are you going to become a photographer?

I would love to become a photgrapher some day. Maybe when I grow up (ha ha). I put the black around it using a new photo program that Jeremy bought for me to go with my new camera. I am just learning how to use the program.
