New Begginings

So I am finally trying to get back into blogging. Since Facebook came along I haven't really used this. Well, here we go. Let's see if I can keep up with this!

I'll try and recap life:

We are now living in Fergus Falls. Crazy! I never really thought we'd end up here but we are loving living in a town where you can get from one end of the town to the other in about 7 minutes (that is if you get all green lights). We bought a really old fixer upper. I'm not kidding at all when I say that it's old and a fixer upper. The house was built in 1887 and it was pretty gross, but we are enjoying (some days) seeing things progress. It's slow in coming, but someday... At some point I will post pictures!

We also now have three girls! Mattea was born on April 15th. She is quite the Mama's girl! As we speak she is sleeping in my arms. I know I should put her in her crib, but honestly, I don't want to. She's too cozy, which is nice for this rainy day! She is a wonderful addition and blessing to us.

Mari is growing fast (too fast) and is starting Pre-K next week. We are so proud of the Godly girl she is becoming. She is my helper with so many things. It's going to be strange not having her around those mornings. I know she will love it and just soak up everything like a sponge!

Nadia is now "free" as she says. She is our spit fire! I love her energy and am trying to channel it to good! Since I was on bed rest with Mattea and then moved shortly after I am just now finally potty training. It is really unpleasant. She has a strong will that is hard to get through. I know that it will "click" with her if she'd let it.

So now hopefully I'll be able to post more often and thanks to a friend who has unknowingly inspired me, be able to post "blessings." I am totally copying this from her. What a wonderful thing. To sit down and write what she is blessed with. I love that idea and feel that it will help me focus more on what God has done for me that to sit and grip about silly things such as how much I hate doing laundry, which I do hate. I should be blessed that we live in a day in age where I don't have to wash clothes by hand and hang them up to dry. All we have to do is put them in the washing machine with soap, turn knob and there we go...

I will also try and post some pictures soon too.
