Doin Good

Hi all, just wanted to check in & say hola.



We are all doing well. MariaH & Jimi both have a little cold. I suspect it's from them starting their new daycare a couple weeks ago. MariaH hasn't been around other kids except for family in over 4 months & the same goes for Lil Jimi - aside from his being in the NICU with a bunch of other babies but that's a low germ place so... I think it's just the new enviroment & all the new kids.



Their daycare is awesome. MariaH absolutely loves it there & I'm pretty sure baby Jimi does too. MariaH even cries sometimes when we pick her up, which is a very good sign but sometimes Tom & I get our little feelers hurt when she never wants to be at home with us. At home there's no other kids her age to play with. I mean, we do the best we can with what little time we have & she plays with Jimi a little bit but she gets bored pretty fast probably because he can't really play back with her. Hahahaha, Boy is she in for a rude awakening. When Jimi learns to walk & talk & terrorize his big sister, she's gonna wish she could go elsewhere even more!



We've been looking for another place to live. We love our townhouse but things just keep falling apart there. Ever since we moved in it's been just one thing after another. You wouldn't think it when you walk into our home (like when we viewed it to move into in the first place) but things like the trim in the kitchen, the handle came off the "new" microwave, MariaH's toilet has gone from super hard to flush - so hard I can barely flush it to now it's completely stopped working, 2/3 bathroom vents don't work anymore, the laundry room door FELL off, one of the front panels of a drawer in the kitchen came off, the first 4 months we lived there the dishwasher didn't work, and a water pipe in the garage busted in early January. Dispite our attempts to get our landlord to fix it, it has been sitting there for almost 9 months now still broken. We can't wash our cars & all summer long MariaH was not able to play in the water outside. Geez, I could on & on, any way, yea we have been looking for another place to call home. We went to view an actualy house for rent today - it's just perfect & just what we were looking for. I talked to the manager about the problems we are having now & made sure he understands we DO NOT want to be out in this same situation again! We would like to live somewhere for at least another 3-5 years to save for a nice chunck of money to use as a down payment on a house. And I hate moving!



So, I guess that's it for now.... I leave ya with some more recent pictures! Love Ya'll!
