Update

I am a few weeks behind in blogging and there is lots to blog about (Matt and Boom Boom visiting, Kirby's 30th, Jocelyn's baptism etc.)!!   But I wanted to write an update (and decided to add in some random photos.)
 
Las Vegas Update:  Kirby has been traveling back and forth to Las Vegas.  (I have survived two separate weeks on my own with the kiddos.  And now gearing up for a 10 day stretch on my own before Thanksgiving.)  Kirby be renting a townhouse out in Vegas beginning next week.  It's a whole community of rental townhouses.  It isn't exactly where we wanted to rent but it has been hard to find a place willing to sign a 6 month lease and additionally, one that will allow Rascal . Why the 6 month lease?  Because we are hoping to get into a house that we can start calling home sooner rather than later.

As for our adobe in Wilmington.  It just went up for rent two weeks ago.  We've decided it's not worth taking a huge hit on our house by selling it and being that we live near Trolley Square we are hopeful it will turn into a good rental property.  FINGERS CROSSED!!

The movers are packing up our house November 24th.  The kids and I will be staying at my parents house until after Christmas.  Kirby will be out in Las Vegas the first three weeks of December and then he will come home for Christmas and fly back out to Vegas with all of us.  My wonderful in-laws are going to drive my car out after Christmas along with Rascal and some of our stuff.  We haven't set a date yet for when we will all fly out but somewhere between Dec. 29th and Jan 3rd. Fear and sadness are growing emotions as it gets closer.  For a long time it felt like we were running through the motions but it was never going to actually happen.

And as the fear and sadness increase I look at these two smiling faces and they remind me how lucky I am to have the opportunity to stay home with them.

 

Worst Mommy Moment (of basically the past month)-  That one just happened the other day oddly enough.  I was cutting Jocelyn's finger nails.  I literally was on the last one when I cut her pinky and she began to bleed.  UGH!!!  It really wasn't bad at all, but knowing you are the reason your baby is crying and bleeding= Not a good feeling!

 

Best Mommy Moment There have been so many great moments!  But best mommy moment is more about personal growth.  I find myself realizing there are many great ways to parent and because of this I shouldn't be so quick to judge.   So much more to come on this at a later date...
