I have a blog?!?



So so much has happened since my last post 6 months ago! We have been settling in our new home. It has been quite an adjustment. More than I thought it would be. This is our first permanent home in 10 year and I was prepared for how much different that would make it. We love our house. even though we are still finishing decorating and painting. But I suppose that will never be done! Thomaston is a small town. I say it has everything that you need but not everything that you want. On weekends we normally make the 45 minute drive to Macon or go up to Atlanta to do some real shopping! I do miss Target, Marshalls and CVS!! But we feel very blessed that Jordan has a job that he loves.

I'll do a quick little recap of everyone and then maybe I'll try to be better at staying up to date!

Taliyah!!! Oh my! She has been such a handful! The best way to describe her is busy. I always thought that my girls would be very similar, but I was wrong. Taliyah is very independent. She wants to do everything herself. She also wants to climb. Before she could even walk she was climbing. I'm constantly pulling her off the countertops, tables, bookshelves, stools and out of sinks, tubs and toilets....It's exhausting. I get really worried at times because it seems like she is just trying to hurt herself! She's already chipped her front tooth! Luckily I think she's starting to mellow out alittle...alittle! She hates shopping. Going to the grocery stores takes an extra helping our strength and courage! There normal is screaming, crying (sometimes by me!) and bribing. But with all this craziness comes the sweetest, most lovable little girl ever. She loves giving kisses, smasher her face into yours, huge hugs and blows kisses when you leave. She has so much love for us in her tiny little body and we love her so so much!



Jayla!! Jayla has grown up so much since we moved her. She loves having her pink room. She has become my little farmer girl and helps me take care of our chickens. We have 6. She's not scared to chase them around and try to pick them up. Jayla is a girly girl!!! She loves to paint her nails, makeup, high heals, pink, and anything that sparkles! I'm not sure where this comes from but it sure is cute! She has a love hate relationship with Taliyah. For the most part they love eachother. They are starting to really play together and sometimes I even catch them hugging and giggling. And then there are the melt downs! Where a kicking and screaming fight happens over something very small! But that's sisters! Lately she's been telling me she wants another sister, we'll just wait and see about that Jayla!


I'll be back to finish the rest of the Fam!
