where have we been?

oh my little blog, I have missed you!!

we have been so incredibly busy over the past few months, that I haven't had a chance to sit down, upload pics and bring my life up to date.

today, some iphone pics will have to do!

 

 

first of all, we moved! we bought a house and closed in 30 days.

everyone says moving is awful, but I was so excited i couldn't stand it! packing boxes was actually fun for me. it was a step towards our future home, a home with more space for our children to run around and a home that would be probably, our forever home. so, I was thrilled.

it got a little tricky moving when the boys had 2 weeks of from summer school to starting a new year, but we survived.

we said goodbye to 2008 greenway on august 26th and hello to queen charlottes court....a lovely street in cotswald with a cul-de-sac for the kids to ride bikes and scooters in, walking distance to Lawton's elementary school next year and great neighbors...but we do miss our Elizabeth neighbors everyday!

 in September the boys started school...this is Lawton's last year at preschool - I can't believe it!

he is in ms. Melissa and ms. dianes class 5 days a week and is the tallest one in class.

 wyatt is in the 2's class with ms. Jennifer and ms. barbara and he goes 4 days a week and on the Thursday that he is off, we have speech.

I missed their first day of school because work has picked up majorly for me. I am so so happy to be working so much and it makes me a better mother I swear! time out from cleaning, wiping bottoms, getting this and that is good for me. every mother needs a break! I have been traveling to high point, Atlanta, etc and that makes things a bit tricky, but again, wouldn't have it any other way!

modeling my fav LSJ top!

Lawton started soccer and jack is the coach again....he loves it!

and he is actually really good - doesn't get fancy footwork from me, we all know I am a size 10 and not very good on my feet ;)

the most he has scored in a game is 9 goals and the least 3!

my parents do give him a dollar for every goal, so maybe that is why he is so motivated? ;)

 prayer before the game

 

wyatt came down with a fever and a terrible rash all over his body, which then turned into his feet peeling? welcome back to school right? we are all battling terrible colds as I speak..

we have gone to acupuncture more times in the past 2 weeks than all summer! jane worked on wyatt with his rash (it was 3/4 gone the next day) and Lawton with his cold. I am going in this week- need to knock this 10 day thing out of my way!

 

 

the BIGGEST news that has happened over the past few months, is that my brother just got engaged last weekend!!!!

Joanna is wonderful and she makes my brother so incredibly happy....we can't wait to welcome her to the family! they met in London and she is from new York...hopefully they will make their way back to the states soon so we can start wedding planning! and when I say, we, I mean they ;)

the boys are so excited to have another aunt and I am just so happy that my brother is on cloud 9. he deserves nothing but the best and she is it ;)
