A Special Day for 3 Reasons

#1 We got the keys to our house! We are beyond excited for this move.  We definitely aren't ready to actually move everything, but we have the entire month to do it- so I'm pretty confident that will be plenty of time :)

We feel so blessed to get this house.  It felt so right.  It came on the market to rent on a Saturday, we saw it Sunday, turned in our application Monday and we were already beat by other people. We said our prayers and turned in a letter about our family (including a picture of our cute kids . . . super smart idea by the way) with the application and the sweet lady who owns the home picked us even though other people have continued to offer hundreds of dollars more per month than we're paying.  Even her real estate agent told us today that someone upstairs is looking out for us :)  We happen to agree.

#2 It's cooling off! We finally broke out the winter pj's tonight.  Nathan's are still big enough to grow a bit this winter.  I unfortunately bought Abby 12 month sizes and they fit her perfectly right now  . . . too bad they have to last a whole lot longer . . .

#3 And this didn't happen today but it's big . . . Abby is drinking from a bottle! Saturday night I had a melt down and Sunday we switched completely to a bottle.  It was a rough day for all of us.  Thankfully Chris is on his research month and was able to stay home Monday and attempt to feed her (I couldn't be near her while he tried to feed her).  She finally got it Monday night and since then it's been smooth sailing- it is absolutely amazing.  Chris was an all-star . . . he spent so much time helping her and just loving her- what a great dad (and husband!)
