In Canton....

Hello all. Sorry it's been so long since I've written. I just haven't found any extra time until now!

I am in Canton right now and at my shop... Just a Little Spoiled. It is really slow but hopefully more people will start coming my way soon. They have said that the summer months are really slow around here but that the winter months are just crazy!

A vendor across the way are from South Africa but live in Fort Worth now. They have started a church called Better Life. They are the sweetest people and it has been a blessing to meet other Christians so close. They have really been so uplifting!

I am missing the boys terribly and won't be staying away from them this long EVER again! I need to see their little smiling faces.

Have a wonderful Sunday today.

Move Day!

Today is the big day .... move day! I am so ready for this day to be here! I need to see some progress and the only way I can do that is see some furniture and boxes on that truck! We will leave early tomorrow morning and get to Branson around 3 or 4 pm. The renters moved out yesterday and even had the carpets cleaned. I can't wait to get there!

I spoke to the boys this morning and they are having a blast with Grandma and Grandpa. They are headed to Springfield today for Carson's Graduation. Then later tonight, they are going to the lake to eat hot dogs and stuff. They might not want to come home!

Well, better go get busy! Today is 'go' day!

Talk to you when I get to Branson and the computer is up and running again!

A little birdie told me so.....

Today, Jon and I were taking a break and sitting outside under one of the trees. Several weeks ago, we watched two robins build a nest. This afternoon Jon told me that there were babies in the nest. I couldn't believe it. I walked around for a better view and sure enough, a little bird was resting his head on the side of the nest. I got so excited! He was so cute!

Later this afternoon, I went out there again. There the little bird was looking out the nest. I ran back inside and grabbed my camera. But by the time I got back out, he had disappeared inside the nest. A couple minutes later, the adult robin (couldn't read his name tag) flew in with some food for the babies. I was able to capture this picture of the babies heads sticking up. Aren't they adorable? There are 3 of them. I'm worried that one is going to fall outside the nest, so I'm going to put pillows underneath the tree. :)

Little Artists!

Here are those pictures I was telling you about! Yes, our little artists really enjoyed themselves! Can't you tell? Jackson STILL has marker on his belly and butt that I can't get off!

Moving Sale...

Hello all. Well, our moving sale was a huge success! We made $600! We couldn't believe we did that well. We sold almost everything that we had in the first one. Yes, we are planning on having another in two weeks. We forgot several things that we wanted out there and we still have the kitchen to go through. It feels so good to go through everything and discard it when you know there isn't a place for it or don't want a place for it. I must say, it's rather renewing.

Tomorrow, we are painting areas that have been nicked... well, and we might have to paint the downstairs door now! Yep, the twins were downstairs having a good ole time today. I asked Jon if they were ok down there and he said that there wasn't anything they could get into. We later found out that he was VERY wrong! The twins had a field day after they found some of my markers and proceeded to test their artistic abilities on the back of the door. I have pictures of the scene that I will put on tomorrow. Needless to say, the door was covered in marker and so were the boys! But they had ALOT of fun!

I'm heading to bed. I will upload the pictures tomorrow.

Good night.

It's Froggy Time!

Hello all! Here are a couple of pictures that I wanted to share with you all. This is a frog that the boys got from their Mimi. They love this frog! They always walk around with it on their heads!

Packing, Packing and More Packing!

Well, we have started the big job of packing. There are going to be a ton of boxes by the time we are done! Wow! But we will get there and get moved. We are so excited to being moving to Branson. We just wish we could leave sooner but the tenants won't be out until June 10th. However, this will give us time to get everything done.

My Dad is here today trying to help with odds and ends. We are scheduling a HUGE garage sale this weekend. I am in the perfect 'mood' to get rid of things! Since this house is pretty big (4,300 sq ft) and so many places to put things, we have really accumlated a lot.... a lot of stuff we don't need. Plus, when Jon and I married, we combined our two households and never got rid of anything. So now is the time! We are getting rid of dishes, pans, comforters, furniture, desks, toys..... so much is going and I can't wait!

I can't wait to get to Branson.... have I already told you that? I will update pictures of our beautiful home soon!

Well, I better get back to packing! Have a wonderful day!
