So am I just a big loser. I check out the blog everyday still. So I guess I should leave a post, I just hope that somebody reads it. Ryan and I are buying a house. At least we are in the process of. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. If all goes as planned it will be December when we move in. Not excited to move in the cold but excited to get out of this piece of junk. We have been without heat for two weeks. The first week and a half it was just cold. Then the rental company finally brought us some space heaters. Then the breakers kept popping in the kids rooms, which is where we had the heaters at night to keep the kids warm, so it was freeing all night for everybody. Hopefully that finally got fixed tonight. It has been a cold two weeks. But I called the management place today to tell them that the kitchen faucet was leaking and the fan in the master bath didn't work, which I had already told them before. I can't wait to get out of this disaster of a house.

Anyway, on a much happier note, Tiana had her baby. A little girl, Brooklyn Tiana Nelson. Also thank you Katherine for saving me lots of money with coupon sense. My last shopping trip I bought 48 items for $30 and I'm still getting a $10 mail in rebate so it will really only be $20 for 48 items. I get a huge rush every time a get a really good buy like that. Thank you Katherine. I love you.

We also got another turtle. This one is a boy turtle. So now we have a girl turtle, Mimi, and a boy turtle, Flopanese. I know they have funny names. The kids have imaginary friends named that, they just made up the word flopanese. So now they aren't so imaginary anymore. And yes the two turtle could mate but it isn't likely they would. But we think it would be fun to have a little baby turtle. They are about the size of a quarter when they are born. It has been a lot of fun having turtles. Although our new boy turtle is a lot stinkier than our girl. Big surprise.

The kids are doing great. Benjamin still isn't walking but he is doing a real good job trying. He has been incredible when it comes to sleep. When he gets tired he begs me to put him to sleep. He waves when I tell him it's night night and he is so excited when I put him in bed. It is so cute and nice for me. Both Charles and Joseph both just had ear infections. It was horrible. They were both in so much pain I couldn't even get tylenol to work. Anyway, I love you all. Hope to hear from you too.
