January thru April; we had our fun-fill!!
Oh my goodness it has been a busy few months. Mobley was born, we moved, Russell worked in Vegas, I transitioned to mommy of two.... and the list goes on! It has been absolutely amazing having our sweet Mobley man. And Rhyen is such a wonderful big sister. I am so incredibly grateful for how easy she has made it on me; Mobley has needed me much more than I had anticipated. THANK YOU EMILY for the miracle blanket. It's gotten us through some tough nights! The humbling part of it all is knowing we all made it through together. I am so so so lucky that these amazing children chose me to be their mommy!!
JANUARY was a bit of a blur. We were still staying with Russell's parents and Mobley was brand new. I felt blessed to be staying with family, because I had so many helping hands. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! We celebrated RUSSELL'S BIRTHDAY, spent time as a family, and enjoyed being in the beautiful Arizona weather (I was still soooo happy to be back form Kansas!)
FEBRUARY was still pretty blurry, haha. Sleepless nights will do that to ya! Russell and I were lucky enough to go on a date
for valentines day. Yay!! It was nice to get a bit of a break for a few hours to spend with my honey. Russell was called out to Las Vegas for some work, and then I spent the better half of the month getting the new place painted and cleaned for move in (THANK YOU to LIZ and AMANDA for watching my precious babies for me) And I want to say THANK YOU TRENT OVERSON for coming and helping, haha. I sent out a mass text for helpers (I was in desperate need) and Trent came. Thanks so much. I cannot express how much I appreciate everyone who helped me. My mom was pretty great too. It was tough without Russell, but we got 'er done! Russell came home to a cozy house of unpacked boxes, haha. Whew, moving is a lot of work, especially with a newborn.
MARCH was BLUE SKIES and SMILES! Russell's grandma was gracious in allowing us live in her vacant house while we have renters in our house. It's in Mesa (right across the street from Carson), it feels weird being back over by Westwood. So wonderful of her though! Russell was back home so he had time to spend with us. Ah woo hoo! We bought a bike trailer and we were off! haha. Gosh, I forgot how beautifully sunny Arizona is. I LOVE IT! March was all about putting off unpacking and getting outdoors.
APRIL things are lookin' clearer! I finally felt as though I had some sort of routine with the kids. I am all about routine! By the end of April the stress level (due to sleep deprivation and the move) was decreased, by I'd say, 98%. Just living every day in gratitude!! Life is good.
