I haven't posted in FOREVER. This is the forgotten blog, buried under last minute summer adventures and fun, the stress of house hunting, drama with my mama, and just general busy-ness. We have school starting in 2 days, and Killian and I are both a mix of excited and nervous. He does really well in school, is liked and makes friends easily, and in general just has a fun time. He is expressing a lot of hesitation though, its his 3rd new school in 3 years, and he knows that once we move, he will probably have yet another new school to go to. He wishes he could stay home with me and Rowan, although they have been fighting and arguing non stop these last couple weeks. I think he will be happy once he is back though, he really misses his friends. One of his best friends is still in Austria, and wont be back until October. I think thats going to be the hardest part of moving for him, leaving Patrick. Hopefully we will find a place in Hillsboro, so he can still be close to Patrick, or a place in Forest Grove, so he can be closer to Paul.
We are going out tonight to look at more houses, 6 I think. Its been so much harder to find a house than I thought it would be. Maybe we are too picky, but this is a huge commitment, and we want to make sure we get the right place. Somewhere that fits us now, but will also work for us when the kids are *gasp* teenagers. Its just so hard to find a good house, with a big lot. I know we are going to have to sacrifice somewhere. Cross your fingers for us that we find the "one" out of the houses we look at tonight. And that the money comes through to us with no stress or problems!!
I am starting another blog soon, to cronicle my adventures in the kitchen, and our path as a family towards healthier living. I am really loving gardening, and now that its fall, preserving. I could post about my learning, thoughts, and challenges here, but I like the idea of having it all in one place that I can easily refer back to. Who knows though, it may be too much work, and I might just end up posting it all here. I will keep you updated!
Thats it! No pictures, no time, no energy. As soon as school starts, life will slow down for us. Just in time to pack our lives up and move! It never ends...
