until we are in our new house! There is some excitement and yet some hesitation with the new home! I am really looking forward to living in our own space, just to have our children in their own rooms!! The kids have shared a room together ever since Daniel was about twelve weeks old. For the past four months, they kept each other up at night. Daniel has been crawling out of his pack and play for the past two weeks. Due to our current hotel quarters, we only have a small space between his pnp and a bed (at this hotel, it's our bed). Therefore, he uses the bed to pull himself up the side of the pnp and just makes it a game for about an hour each night. I am so tired of it...I get so frustrated and mad. When Matt is away, it just worsens. I don't know how single parents maintain consistency, or even sanity!
During this time, I have really thought about whether or not we should have more kids. I get so frustrated w/ the two we have, I don't know how I'd do with more! For those of you who have more than two, please tell me why it's good to continue growing our family??
Well, I'll stop w/ my frustrations. I will leave you all w/ my life verse that I must constantly remind myself of: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Phil. 4:13

Fourth of July
Happy fourth of July! Hope you had a great day with your family! We had a good day! We got to enjoy our first of many family cookouts at Matt's Auntie Tina's house! They have cookouts three times each summer! They are great! Matt and the kids got to go swimming with Matt. They all had a great time.
Last night we spent the evening with our niece Sarah so that her parents could go to a wedding. We had a great time with her. Sammie and her are so much alike; our time is usually spent encouraging the two of them to be more loving and giving with each other.After Sarah and Daniel were down for the night we got to watch the great Boston Pops and fireworks (on TV)...the bonus was RASCAL FLATTS! Sammie was so excited to see the fireworks. Sadly, she fell asleep five minutes before they started! As soon as the fireworks ended, Matt joined her in dreamland.
Lord willing, this will be our last holiday in the "midst of transition" for at least a couple of years. We had to move into another hotel on Thursday so that we wouldn't have to move three more times at the other hotel. We had already moved twice there and I was just not willing to let them shuffle us around two/three more times! It has been great to be near family but doing so in a hotel has been an adventure in itself...realizing what a family can and cannot live with! Look out Yard Sale!!
Have a great fourth weekend!
