Why...?

Why have my kids been sick since before Christmas?

Why do my kids stay up until midnight now?

Why do my kids think that I should not get a waking moment without them?

Why does Ella have to teethe right while we are moving?

Why do my kids take turns napping instead of doing it at the same time now?

Why does Carter think he needs to sleep with me every night all night all of a sudden?

Why does Ella think she needs to climb in our bed a few nights a week?

Why can I never take a shower before 2:00 anymore?

Why does Carter need ME at all times?

I can't get anything done, and I can't get any rest! I am just praying that life will all go back to normal after we get settled in Oregon. It has to.

What we've been up to...

Trying desperately to pack. I only have 12 boxes packed. This is not going well.=(

Visiting my Great Grandma who is 96. Ella LOVES her.

Going to Disneyland as much as possible before we go of course...(don't mind my mess =)

Hanging out with all of the people we will miss so very much.

Our beloved Auntie Cass...

And the best Papa in the world...

and of course Ella's shopping buddy, Grammy.

Ella will miss Disneyland a lot. She has become accustom to spending a lot of time there. We had our last ho rah.

And of course our family. (We include Auntie Cass because she truly is part of our family. =) Don't know what we will do without her.

Carter finally got his mickey mouse ears. He has of course been here a million times but wanted to wait until he was a bit older. Since we are moving, we thought it was time.

That's all for now. Wish me luck with the packing. =/

Solids

So Carter starting waking up every two hours again and was attacking us when we had food in our hands so we decided to try some solids with him. He did sleep better for sure. And what do you think...did he like it?

Bringing in the New Year!

Ella has a double ear infection so we decided to lay low this year. Ella was pretty sure she needed to ring in the new year with us though, so here she is...

And Carter decided to wake up right before midnight as well...

All in all, it was a fun relaxing evening.
