Sorry about that.
We’re all moved in. Not completely settled, and I don’t quite know how many weeks we’ll be living out of boxes, but all our stuff is HERE. Allow me a bit to get my bearings. I’m still trying to get used to some things, like: having a garage, the plethora of insects that exist, my kids having their own bedroom, not eating out every day, having a backyard to throw my kids into, etc. It’s fun!
I only just got internet service a few days ago, so it may take me a while to catch up with blogs. If anything super duper spectacular happened, please feel free to link a girl up! Thank you alllll for your kind comments of congratulations and whatnot. I really appreciate it. :)
While I was gone, two events took place. One: my cousin graduated from high school. Two: my oldest turned five. FIVE! CINCO! CINQ!
I made him a rainbow cake. He’s into rainbows right now. Ask him what color he wants to paint his room and he’ll reply with “rainbow.”
Yes! Rainbow! We were going to paint a huge rainbow in the kids room but couldn’t afford all the paint. I think it’d be super fun.
Faith had her first dance recital. Videos: http://sodarnhappy.com/blog/?p=967 if you wanna say “awww”. She was ridiculously cute.
& yea, 5’s a big deal. I’ve been feeling all emo and like a cry baby thinking about how Faith will be 6 soon. 6 means she can’t just use one hand to tell people how old she is any more.
I think I may just get a canvas and paint him a rainbow on that. His room is currently an off-white. I wanted to paint it before we moved in, but there were more pressing matters and I could never get a kid-free day. Not wanting them to inhale those sorts of fumes, I just left his room as is. A painted rainbow could spruce it up a bit.
Faith is so pretty! She did wonderfully. Don’t be sad she’s growing up. Think of allllll the amazingly awesome things grown-up Faith will do. If she can make so many people happy as a little person, imagine the happiness she’ll spread as a big one!

I’m texting that to Cory right now. We’ve both been all weepy thinking about her growing up, but you’re exactly right.
Congrats on the new house! Love the rainbow cake!
oh my god! I have never in my life seen such a cake! Way cool. Remind me of all of the illustrations in the geography books from school. don’t know if that is positive or not;)
Love the cake Lisa! You’re so talented!
Glad to hear that things are beginning to settle at the new place. We moved mid-March and I find we’re still transitioning. There’s still a huge pile of boxes in our bedroom. We’re just waiting for a bookshelf to magically appear.
