Alex and Cameron started their new schools this week. Alex is riding his skateboard there and school starts at 7:30 for him now and ends at 2:30..by the time I get up he is already gone. His school district does not offer drivers ed, so we decided that after school ends, this summer is when we will get him started on that. He has to focus on school now. So at the beginning of summer he is going to do that and get a job. It will be a while before he is completely driving on his own, but he has to pay his own gas and tags and of course for dates and things like that. I'm going to have to give him a push for sure to get a job. By Thanksgiving he should be driving himself. In the meantime, his car sits and waits for him!

Cameron absolutely loves his new school. When he got home the first day he told me it was the best day of his entire life. He loves the teachers, the kids, and the schedule better. Oh, and he likes the hamburgers better too, apparently the other schools hamburgers sometimes had some gross slimy thing in the middle. Yum!

I am very happy the kids are happy, now for what you will be shocked to hear. WE ARE MOVING AGAIN! Feb. 15 will be the last day here. The reason is that I HATE this house. Its got its charm, but serious plumbing issues and the grossest bathrooms and OLD appliances. We would have stayed the year out, but we had a great opportunity come up. The new house by the way is in the same schools or I would not have done it. The landlord just moved out of their home and put it up for rent for 300 more than this one. Its awesome. A very nice home and so pretty! He is going to transfer our lease, no pet deposit or any deposit at all. This is a home that we could easily live in for 5 years while we save up for a big down payment on our own home. Brad is stressed about moving and says we are getting movers this time, but of course it will be expensive. And then there is transferring utilities and all of those extra fees. Also we have to take down all of our baby proofing here and baby proof there..and we need more baby proofing items for the new house. And then there is packing and unpacking..Lord help me! It will be easier this time because a lot is in boxes in storage here and we don't have to sort through everything this time. It will be okay. My mom is going to help with Noah so I can start packing next week. If you think we are crazy, well your right.. but not about this, this house now is just not livable to me and our landlord could rent the other house for way more than he is, so we had to snatch the opportunity while it was here. Move now where we want to live or move next November..So I am dreading it but excited too and relieved to have a garden tub coming my way! Oh, and one of those cool flat stoves, too...Say a prayer for us!
