Lots to catch up on!

Oh blogging...how I missed thee! But it seems having 2 children really leaves little time for much else these days but a shower and some boring household chore. Since I last blogged, our little Tanner has made it to the 8 month mark! He has been crawling for about 8 weeks, has since decided he is too big to eat baby food and prefers whatever you have on your plate, began crawling up a full flight of stairs last week, and is starting to stand by himself! Yes, he has been in a hurry to grow up since he arrived and is showing no signs of slowing down! Talan will turn the Big 5 next week....how does this happen? Yeah I know they are supposed to grow up and all, but why so soon? He of course can't wait to be 10, or 16 or whichever older big kid age he aspires for on any given day. He will be starting junior Kindergarten in January which we talk about everyday...he is soooooo ready.

We have recently moved out of our condo and moved in with my parents. This has brought about many changes in our life but all of them for the better. Due to circumstances that are beyond our control, selling the condo is not an option in this real estate market. Jason and I made the decision that our boys need a place to run, to be outside, have a backyard, to just be little boys and our little place wasn't cutting it! The plan is to SAVE SAVE SAVE for the next year to year and a half for a sizeable down payment, and buy our dream house! I love and adore my parents for allowing us this opportunity, although leading up to it involved a great deal of apprehension...after all moving in with our parents just as we have entered our 30's was not high up on our life goals. But we all know that the end result of this process is going to have a big reward!

Now the daunting process has begun to become Landlords....

More to follow, and hopefully some recent pictures!
