Well it has been awhile since updating. It is not that I dont get on the computer most days, I just am not sure what I want to update about..Alot goes on everyday. Yesterday was our first day without people here working in our house.My first day to walk around my house, just me and my kids. I could nurse without a blanket, I could sing outloud, etc...It was nice. Alot has been done to our house and i look forward to showing you the pictures. Right now we are still working on painting the downstairs and today just finished striping the last room of old wallpaper...we ended up paying someone (alot!) to paint the new upstairs, so atleast it would be done and the girls could get into their rooms. Feeling so broke with house expenditures it is crazy. I cant believe the amount of money we have spent in such a short time...
Jacobs sister Zarah came out to help us as we survived or tried to survive these weeks of camping out (still have not unpacked anything from our garage, including furniture to sit on, like a couch)
To add to our craziness (incase we wanted to add to it-and we didnt)...we found out we are pregnant again (This time TOTALLY counts as a SURPRISE!)......so...yeah......dont even know what to say...this may be appropriate..AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Our kids are thrilled and have no concept of how this was so not on the radar. Jane and this baby will be 16mts apart. crazy days indeed!
On a another note, I have been blessed (and I express gratitude for this every night) with not having my normal (throw up every day, lay on the bed all day, cant stand up, etc..sickness)..I am just utterly and severly exhausted, till around 3pm...then i perk up and feel great the rest of the day..but before that...watch out :) oh, and because some may ask, due date is around Dec 2nd-9th....

Here
We are Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes folks....our mattresses (beds) have been moved to their new floor destination and all three girls are sleeping on them..so far so good. Jacob is off at work, he left around noon. I have been home (so nice to say those words....our home...it does feel different and i am not sad at all to leave our rental (normally I am, about leaving any of our homes) most of the afternoon, unpacking, taking care of the girls and trying to keep them out of the workers way (they were priming the upstairs today. I dont have much food in the house, so I am munching on bread and butter..not to bad, it could be worse, I could be out of butter :)
I already love my kitchen, so much room and cupboard/counter space. I have finally decided on a color...it is a shade of blue, cant wait to show the pics...
Thanks to some great friends our old house is empty and spotless!!!!!!!!!!!! With all that has been 'hard' this week, the burden has been lightened a ton through this family and others who have either watched the girls or feed us or packed us or cleaned up after our mess. I dont remember who said it and I didnt get to hear much during conference, but this I remember: We are His hands....

Alrighty. Wish us luck! We are moving over the rest of our junk in the morning, you know, from basecamp#1 to Basecamp#2..to continue our camping experience of course, just different scenery. The upstairs will be primed tomorrow, doors up, carpet laid, and ready for little girls by Friday. As for the rest of the house....time heals all wounds right????
No..seriously...it will get done at some point. We seriously are doing as much to a house that most do in the time they own a home over 20years...and we will get it done in 2mts...pretty good and pretty crazy...and pretty expensive...i think that about covers it...will post the 'pretty 'pics soon
