Two weeks from now we will be leaving Rexburg. Possibly for the last time. Nadia has no idea what is happening and cries each time she sees me packing up some of her toys. I think she's afraid that I'm going to throw them away. She followed me around today crying "kitchen, kitchen" because packed up her pots and pans. We still have a long way to go though.

A new fabric store opened up her just the other day, and I've had a hard time not buying any. They have so many cute things and I'm a sucker for fabric. I got a lot of good ideas for when we are in our new apartment though. I can't wait to get there and decorate the childrens bedroom.

Moving Woes

I probably shouldn't even be taking the time to blog right now. Both my kids (wonder of wonders) are napping, so I should be organizing and packing. It's just all so confusing. I know we're never going to be able to take it all, so I have to go through things and decide what we can do with out. Then there's the fact that this is a rather strange move. We're packing up some of our things which a moving company will take to Texas for us. Then Jeff and I are packing up our car (and possibly an extra one that my Aunt lent us) and driving to Utah to stay with my parents. My brother is getting married May 31st and we didn't want to have to travel back from Texas. Anyway, then Jeff and Tim will be taking our car to Texas on June 4 (I think) while the kids and I stay in Utah for a second reception. Also we want to spend as much time with my parents as we can before we move and seeing them becomes an expensive endevor. Then on June 10th my Mom will be flying out with us to Texas. So how do you pack for that kind of moving mess?

Sorry if I've wrote all this before.

Finished

I finally finished Nadia's and Finn's blankets. There were a few mistakes made, but they actually made the blankets turn out really cute. They are, however, somewhat time intensive and very messy. I probably won't be making anymore like them for a while. Then again, who knows.

Houston Here We Come

Jeff decided to accept the University of Houston. He was accepted to Temple, but we felt it would be better for our little family to live near his parents. Nadia and Finn are very excited to spend at least the next three years living near Grandpa Tony and Grandma Becky. I have to admit I'll be glad to have Grandma and Granpa near as well. If I ever need help they'll be right there, and if Finn is anything like Nadia, I'll need help.

I love my children, but sometimes they drive me crazy. Finn likes to be awake during the hours of 12:00 to 3:00 a.m. and if he is left by himself and it's dark he cries. So basically we've been a little sleep deprived around here. Then there's Nadia. She's always bringing me the phone and saying "grandma." Now while it's really cute that she loves to talk on the phone, she cries non stop if people don't answer. Then she gets angry and will sometimes throw the phone at me or shove it into my face. Then there are times when she's a little to helpful. She tries to help with Finn, but usually just makes him cry. Right now, for instance, she's taking out his binki to feed him his bottle.

My computer is having issues (most of which are Nadia related). Nadia likes to push my laptop onto the floor, or open and shut it and pull out the cords. Now the screen is floppy and the internet cord is loose so when you move the computer it often unconnects the internet, causing alot of grief, especially if I'm using blogger and haven't realized that it has become unconnected.

Enough of venting. I've decided to make picnic blankets for Finn and Nadia. So I went and bought some old jeans from the DI. I've got all the pieces cut out and I've even started to put Nadia's together. They're going to be rag quilts so they don't take too much effort. It's actually pretty fun and I can't wait to see how they turn out. When I get them done I'll take pictures and post them.

Law School Update

We have now heard back from some of the law schools, but we're still waiting on some. Washington University, Temple University, University of Indiana-Bloomington, and Cordozo Yeshivia have still not contacted us. Really we only care about two of those.

University of Houston accepted Jeff so yea!

However, he was waitlisted at several, one of which, BYU is his top pick. Which is really frustrating, it would have been easier had he gotten a straight yes or no. This leaves us still waiting and hung up in the air on what we will be doing in a few months.
