What have we been up to?

A lot has been going on the past couple of months but I think the major thing was our big move.  Addison and I had been thinking about putting our house up for sale for a while now.  Ever since we got back to Abilene a little over two years ago, we have been looking for the perfect piece of land for us to build our lives on.  We believe that the Lord brought us to a specific of land right outside the city that would be perfect for our growing family.  We put our house up for sale and it sold within a matter of days.  Thirty days later, we moved the majority of our belongings in a storage unit and moved in with Addison's parents.  Currently we are living inside their house but soon we will move into their "barn apartment" at the back of their house when my brother-in-law and sister-in-law move out and into their newly built house!  

It has definitely been nice to have others love on our sweet girl while either Addison or I gets a few things done.  We are so blessed to have parents that allow us to move back in...with a three month old.  We plan to start building a house in the next few months.  This is a very exciting time in our lives!

Of course, in the middle of all this, Addison still has work and we still have a three month old to take care of.  I of course stay home with Tatum so I have been trying to adjust to all of her adjustments that she has made since we have moved.  One of them being the lack of sleep.  When we left our house about a week and a half ago, she was sleeping from about 9:00-5:00 in the morning.  It was pure bliss.  I felt so rested and even a few times she would make it to about 6:30.  When we made the big move, we put her crib in our room so we could use the other guest bedroom for storage.  Well, now I remember why we moved her into her bedroom at our old house in the first place!  She has been waking anywhere from 3-5 times/night.  I requested we make room for her bed in the other guest bedroom to see if we both sleep better.  We'll see!

We also celebrated Addison's 25th (WHAT?!) birthday, Father's Day and made a trip to Katy, Texas to visit Addison's sister, brother-in-law and their kids.  

We also got to celebrate baby Sawyer who will be arriving in August!  We can't wait to meet Tatum's newest cousin!

Lately, we have been working on house plans, spending time with family and trying to enjoy this busy season in our lives.  Does it ever really slow down though?  I don't think so. This is what life is all about!
