changes
yes, changes. we are currently preparing to move to our new home in jefferson heights (pictured above). packing with three little guys around is quite a lofty endeavor. i get the most done if i am able to quickly place the objects in sight in a box and tape it right up. the boys do not seem to notice the masses of filled cardboard boxes around but are eager to sift through the items set aside to give away. i guess i just need to be okay with our house being a disaster until the weekend of april 20th when we move. with this date quickly approaching, we are trying to be prepared for the probable chaos of these next two weeks.
it has been difficult for me to be excited about this move out of st. elmo. so much has been happening to bring this community together, including the new playground. our kids have enjoyed visiting the playground several times since its completion, and love time with friends as much as the structure itself. i do see the great benefits of owning a new home, being able to walk the boys to school, developing friendships with new neighbors while keeping ties with good friends, but i will definitely miss my place in this community.
i suppose it is all just a bit much for me right now, which leads to yet another change--we are expecting our fourth child around october 12th! i am thrilled with the idea of carrying, delivering, nurturing another child. mark and i had an ultrasound scheduled last week and were amazed to watch our little one squirming around and stretching out his/her arms. it seems that all is well with the pregnancy, and we are left feeling incredibly grateful.
i had so many other things that i wanted to share; but with bits of nausea still lurking and multitudes of boxes left to fill, i should probably get to packing while i am feeling reasonably well.
