Sorry no pics on this post...two reason...1. Just found my camera the other day it was hiding in our move 2. any pics I have taken are on my phone and I am just too lazy at this time to try an upload.
I thought I would just give an update of what has been going on with us the past two weeks. The girls and I are still in TN with my parents. We have a little over a week before we get to close on our house. YAY!!!! Chris is still living in hotels in NC while he is working. Since we have been in TN we have had lots of fun. The girls LOVE to be at their Nana and Papaw's. They have lots of land to run and play on, plus they get to see their cousin Matthew almost everyday and Uncle Kevin and Aunt Brandy come over lots to play as well. Since we are staying here in TN for several weeks, I am actually homeschooling Katie until we get her enrolled in school in NC. I went out and got some workbooks for her age and also got lots of good information from her Kindergarten teacher in OK. Each day we work on a couple of subjects....I know everyone says their kid is smart, but Katie really is. She learns things really fast....but I will say that I have learned that homeschooling is not something I want to do full time. Katie and I butt heads to much...she doesn't really want to listen sometimes to what I am trying to tell her or if I have to correct something she doesn't take the correction very well. I think it is best that she learns from our public educators. :) I also got Bree a pre-school workbook, so when I am doing school work with Katie so is she. It is so cute...she says to me " Mommy, I am doing school work, please do not bother me.". Ha!
This past weekend we met Chris halfway in Columbia SC so we could have some family time and he could see us. It was almost two full weeks since he saw us, so the girls were super excited to see him....and so was I. I miss that guy when he is not around. :) We used to live in Columbia 6 years ago, this is where Katie was born so we got to show her the house we brought her home to and tell her and Bree lots of fun stories about all the places and things we did when we lived there. The girls swam bunches at the hotel, we did some shopping, took our strolls down memory lane and had some fun at Frankie's Fun Park. It is like a Chuck E Cheese on steroids. Lots of outside activities, putt putt, go-carts, bumper boats, etc. The girls had a blast as did Chris and I.
The girls and I headed home on Sunday and Chris went back to NC :( In less than two weeks we will all be back under one roof and FINALLY get back to a somewhat normal schedule. The girls have been doing really great during our transition, but at times I can tell it all seems to be a little much for them. Katie still gets a little sad about leaving OK and not being able to see her friends anymore, which breaks my heart but it gives me a good time to talk to her about how we can pray and ask God to help us get through the hurt. Pray for new friends, a new church and all the fun we will have making our new house a home.
