Happy Spring!

Want to know the effect the economic crisis is having on a working mom who sells foreclosed homes?!!? I am busy out of my mind! And it is only going to get crazier as the eviction moratorium instated by the government was lifted as of April 1, and we start taking possession of all those homes too, so I’m holding on for the ride! I’m thankful that business is good for us and that I have a job to go to, and a pretty fun one at that! God is good!


We’ll know in the next 3 months or so if Wells Fargo will decide to keep us on, but it’s looking very good right now, so we’re hopeful. If you’re interested in buying a house, let me know towards the end of April, when we should hopefully have quite a selection!


I’m taking a vacation this week before the craziness ensues, and I am BEYOND excited about it! I just want to do some crazy spring cleaning, plant a garden and flowers with my momma, spend time with my 2 favorite boys and take afternoon naps with the littler of the 2. (Or both! If the bigger one happens to be home!) ;) I'm bummed that the weather isn't supposed to be great, but we'll make the best of it.


Speaking of little boys, ours is not so little! I feel like he’s gonna turn 5 tomorrow…I don’t know where the time goes! His face is changing (to me) and he looks older and more boy-like, yet he’s still my beautiful baby.


He’s up to 6 teeth (Ahh!) He’s having a very hard time with these last 2….major grumpiness, screaming fits, not sleeping, running a fever, runny nose. I was convinced he had his first ear infection, but the doc was quick to give him a clean bill of health and told us to get some Motrin, as if we hadn’t already tried everything under the sun. Now we just wait it out and hope that he stops growing teeth for a little while!!


He can now pull himself up onto things and walk along anything that he’s holding onto. His favorite is to sit on the couch and pull himself up to look out the window over the back of it. And of course the big accomplishment of the week, he's CRAWLING! Woo hoo!

Here's a short video of him crawling~

And holding on to walk~

He’s still saying Da-Da, and I think he’s starting to get WHO he’s talking about when he says it. He’s also making the B, G, V, and sometimes Z sound…no M yet, but I’m workin on it! ;)
We’re desperate for spring and summer around here, and can’t wait to get out in the yard to play and plant a garden, and down to the beach for a stroll! I don’t really have a green thumb, but my mom sure does, so with her help, hopefully we’ll grow some nice organic veggies (and maybe strawberries?) this year. I feel like an old lady for wanting to plant a garden, but oh well, we always buy organic veggies, so we might as well save some cash!

Diego decided to give him the camera and see what would happen, so here is Isaac's handywork with the camera, which involves mostly chewing on it! Enjoy!
