What a day!

Yes, it is true! I paid somebody to clean my house! It was the best money that I have ever spent! I am somewhat of a lazy person... However, it was the stress it relieved by having someone else do it that made it worth it though! Really!

We also got a call that our stuff made it to VA! They asked if we were ready to accept it! That would have been a little hard since we are still in Florida! So Goldie set up a date to accept it but not until June 24th! So that meant almost a month without our stuff and buying a lot of stuff that we already had. Not the end of the world but an inconvenience at the least since we were originally told we could get our stuff on July 1st!

Goldie was talking to our friend, Tally, who lives in VA and told him about our situation! Tally, offered to be the receiving agent for our stuff! Totally out of the blue and not at all why Goldie had called him. Thank the Lord for good friends! Tally went over and forked out some of his own money to help us out! He and his wife stayed at the house until 10pm receiving our household goods! So now we have our house full of our stuff to go to this weekend! Thank you, Lord!

God is so good and he works in even the littlest things! He has also blessed us with amazing friends that would suffer a little (or I should say a lot) of inconvenience for us! We owe them big time - although knowing them they won't let us! So we will have to be sneaky!

Crazy Bird

Today I was chilling at my neighbors house watching a movie while Kenan napped. I heard this big thud on the Florida room window. I just assumed that the kids from the house behind Marcy's had thrown a ball or something that hit the window. A little later I went to let the dogs out and laying on the ground was a dead bird. So, what I think happened is the bird flew SMACK into the window which was his/her demise! So much for natural selection! You can't even make stuff up that good! It reminded me of the Windex commercial with the birds if you have seen it. Marcy, your windows must be really clean! Goldie disposed of the bird in Mrs. Haversham's yard! I didn't think about it until after we got rid of it that I should have taken a picture so I would have proof! Oh well!

Getting so big

Kenan has had several firsts this week. I think God prompted this to happen this week to help ease the stress of moving. It is easy to find joy in the small things when it is your child doing them. This week Kenan started really saying a few words that we understand. He has been saying Rock, dog, ball, and tickle, tickle, tickle. Of course we think it is the cutest thing ever! He also started signing "please"!

Today Goldie had him over at our house which is empty. In an effort to keep him contained he shut all the doors of the room they were in. The next thing he knew Kenan was gone. He had managed to open the doors on his own. When did he figure out how to do this?

Hopefully this is not boring stuff to you all but like I said at the very beginning I can't keep up with the baby book so this is it!

Trash Stealer

So the packers are here packing up our stuff and we are trying to get rid of stuff as we go along! One of the things we got rid of is our grill! It is all rusted out and a wheel has fallen off! So we put our trash out by the curb for them to pick up this morning like we do every Wednesday night! Well, we are staying at our neighbors house across the street and have a great view of the front of our house! We look out and see this man checking out the grill. We figured upon further inspection he will drive away! Oh but no, he loads the grill up into his truck with only one wheel. As he drives away we notice he has several other "treasures" in the back of his truck! So it is true, one man's junk is another man's treasure. Goldie did take a picture with his cell phone! It isn't very clear but you see him making his getaway!

My Baby... Not Anymore!

So the realization is hitting me that my baby is no longer a baby anymore! Goldie has been telling me this for a long time now but I have been in denial! He can reach the doorknobs and look up over the top of the kitchen table. He can even catch a ball about 85% of the time. He is eating anything and everything but he especially wants whatever we are eating! He talks and sings all the time but none of it is intelligible! However, he is starting to form words! Very few words but nonetheless. He also has a great understanding for what we are saying to him! So in my estimation he must be a genius! ;)

So here is my question to you, the reader of this blog, is it time to start thinking about number two? Be sure and vote in the poll on the left hand side of my blog!

More Teeth

Saturday night I was putting Kenan to bed and decided to feel if his other bottom molar had started to break the surface! In my perusal I discovered that both of the top molars had come through! So Kenan now has eleven teeth with one ready to come through any day now! I can't believe he is getting so big!

Teeth

Kenan woke up this morning with a new tooth and a snotty nose! The tooth is just to his right of the center two teeth on the bottom! This makes tooth number nine in his head! It looks like the molar on his left side is about to pop through, also! Teething is why Tylenol and Motrin are my new best friends!
