Finally...an Update



Ok, so we finally found a home and our stuff is "moved in", not that it's organized as organizing with 3 toddlers and in the last month of pregnancy is not recommended. Dad and Mom came out for a week to help with the move which was a HUGE help! We fell in love with this house due to neighborhood (close to home school cottage program, walk to restaurants and parks), friends of ours live a few doors down, the views of the mountains and the backyard is a forest...literally. At first we were not sure about it because the city said we cannot cut down any trees in our backyard, but the kids love "going on a nature walk" in the back yard.

I have to admit, it's been a rough road, though God has paved his way through it all. He has provided much grace when I am so exhausted and Paul has been an amazing husband and father. In 2 weeks, we get to meet our sweet baby boy (via planned c-section) and though this pregnancy is pretty rough, I hope baby waits the 2 weeks until we meet because of all the projects and time I want to spend with the kids. We are loving the weather and the community of Colorado Springs, though we miss our dear friends/family in Texas as well as wish we had family closer by. Elli misses her grandparents and cousins. Our next post will probably include a sweet little guy...

Great pictures! What a beautiful family! I can't wait to meet your new sweet little guy. It was wonderful meeting up with you and Tami and the boys last week, and getting our former crib mates back together again! Look forward to meeting up again when you are more settled with your new arrival. I will be praying that all goes well, including the adjustment to being a family of 6!
Hugs to you,
Melanie

Thanks for the update Tammy! You all are doing so wonderfully, especially given all the changes. We think of you often, and wonder how it's going with three toddlers and a soon to be little guy in the picture. I'm so glad you are settled, and in an explorer's dream backyard nonetheless! Hugs and love to you Tammy, can't wait for your next post! Love, Emily

Hi Tammy and Paul,

We are so excited for you and the family. I can't wait to see more pictures of baby boy when he makes his appearance. We'll be praying for you over the next couple weeks as you prepare for his arrival. :)

Love, Lauren

Tammy, you look wonderful, and your family is so adorable. I'm glad to hear you're settling into the new place just in time to meet your new little guy. I'm sure it's hard to wrangle 3 toddlers, but from the looks of things, it seems you're doing an awesome job. Take care the next few weeks!
