Life is C-R-A-Z-Y!!!

WOW, what a year we have been and its not even 1/3 over yet! The biggest news is we are moving. It's only 3 minutes up the street but it's still a move. I'm not going to get into it right now because it needs its own post. Let's just say we are beyond tired of the apartment complex's BS that its time to move on even if things are going to be stressful and tight financially speaking. We know we are doing the right thing for our family but its still sad to think that our first "home" we ever lived in together we are moving out of. Things come to an end.

Aidan is doing well, and making new friends at school and in our complex. I feel so guilty about moving away from his first "real" friends that he made on his own accord, but it's not like he won't see them at school. He is amazing when it comes to math. We are blown out of the water daily by his smarts when it comes to math. He also read his first book to me last night (or at least a few pages). I was so proud that I videotaped it and posted it to Facebook. So if you have FB check it out and if not let me know and I'll post it elsewhere. I am so anxious for him to read its not even funny. I know in due time but I LOVE reading and want him to feel the same way! We signed the little guy up for T-ball and applied for the scholarship since this is "lay-off's" for John and he got a full scholarship!!! We are so excited as is he!! Bring on T-ball!! Wahoo!!

Miss Brooke, is 2 and shows it and is a fiesty spirited little girl. She is showing interest in going potty on the potty and even TMI section-pooped on the potty today for the first time!! Hooray!! She is enjoying playing with her friends at the YMCA, MOPS, Gaurdians & Angels, and wherever else she can make friends. She always asks when she can play with "fends." She keeps us on our toes and loves to push our buttons and test the boundries.

John is doing well. He's "laid off" daily at this point but his boss' aren't following contract rules so John still goes in 100% ready to work. It's annoying that they can't follow how things are suppose to be done and now the union wants him to continue because their stand is that he needs more notice that he's laid off than what he is given. It's a whole can of worms, and really confusing. I'm SO proud of him for standing up for what he knows is the truth even when his boss tries to get his goat and get him to react. This morning when his boss saw him at work (after they gave him the 1 hour notice of being laid off) he wouldn't even look John in the eye. OH well. John is standing up for his contract and the union is backing him which is good.

As for me I'm keeping busy doing it all as usual. I am packing boxes and have many more to go. I wish I had a bit more help packing but I don't right now so I'll make do. I'm hoping that we can get everything packed so that last week we are in the current apartment we are just doing the last little bit and doing more cleaning than anything else. We'll see. I've lost my debit card and license more times than I can count in the last few weeks with all the craziness that I am beginning to loose my mind. I found the debit but not the license...hmmmm don't know where it is.

Anyhoo, its 12:15am adn I need sleep before I work in the AM. Hope you are all well and I really feel as if I wrote our Christmas letter all over again even though I haven't. I'll update more soon.....I hope. Life is just crazy in general and probably won't slow down until we get settled. Wish us luck!!
