Wow...its been over a year

Where does the time go? Sorry its been so long since I blogged here.  SO much has happened.  My boys have grown...so have I..lol. 

First things first....We have moved to Norfolk, NE.  Mark got a new location, more say in his job, and lots more responsiblity.  All things he has been wanting.  We decided to rent for awhile til we find where we want to be.  This is just a stepping stone to help us get back to the KC area.  We are so proud of Mark and how well he is doing with this company.  They treat him really well and are keeping him happy. 

The boys are getting so big and learning so much every day.  Here are some tid bits

Caleb is 3 now and almost...yes almost potty trained.  He is a stubborn little boy that does not want to quit playing to go #2.  The peeing thing he has down perfect.  Yesterday we were checking out our new neighborhood...and sure enough..he said he had to pee...and before i could object...there he was peeing on someones bush. lol.  Takes after his daddy i guess.  He is learning a lot about shapes and numbers.  Don't ask him to count cause he will count but not in order...if you hear him counting, he is usually counting his toys...trucks..tractors..crackers...everything correctly when he thinks we aren't paying attention.  He keeps us laughing and is a little jokester.  We had an older gentleman come work on our dishwasher today...when the guy would go outside to his van to get a tool he would go "mom, where did the old man go"...so we are going to have to teach him very soon about "there is a time and a place when we say and do stuff".

Grayson...he is 1 and rotten.  He is into everything.  We can't have our trashcan on the floor...always up on the counter (gross...i know), but if we don't we have a huge mess all over him and everything.  He started walking around 10-11 months...so he has kept us on our toes early on.  He has a whole mouthful of teeth and watch out, he bites.  That is how he gets Caleb to give him toys, or just to pester him.  He is getting more and more in his vocabualary everyday.  It amazes me how much they take in.  I can't believe how big he is...thinking it may be time for another...lol. 

Me....not much new with me.  I am eager to find a good fit here in Norfolk.  Hoping to get more involved in a church and groups here.  We will see how it goes.  I will hopefully stay up on this blog and let you know. 

Thanksgiving is next week...so a few things I am thankful for are:  Mark, my boys, our families, a place we can call home, food, nap times, no wind, warm socks, Christmas music, a front porch with a swing, friends who are there for me, chats with cousins, play dates for my boys and me, a healthy family, and fall weather. 

Here are some random pics...hope u enjoy! Thanks for listening to me ramble...once again.
