Hanging with Tutu
Mom made a really good chicken meal in one of my Pampered Chef dishes I forgot I even had! Oops! That's the problem with this house. We have stuff crammed everywhere - to the point we don't even know what we have. I am so looking forward to moving!!!
Friday I was on call and of course I got called in. It was tough because Knox had had a particularly off night and was up A LOT. Poor guy. Luckily I was able to leave and didn't have to stay all day. Also, I was needed. Nothing drives me more crazy than to get called in and not really feel like I need to be there. Anyway, I made some extra furniture money for our new house!

What Knox thought about mommy getting called in!
My bestie Heidi was in town and came over to see the boys Friday. We also had a surprise visitor! My sweet friend Bethany came over to meet the boys and drop off the sweetest little presents for them. She was so sweet to have done that.
Friday night, Tutu, Papa and Nick stayed home with the LPs and let mommy go to dinner with Heidi and two of our friends, Kathryn and Stephanie. It was so much fun catching up with everyone. It turns out that we are all headed towards Fort Worth! Kathryn's moving to a little town called Godley and Steph is moving to Ft Worth. I am so excited that they'll be out that way too. Now we just need Heidi to move back from Houston!!!!
Speaking of new house, Saturday Tutu and Papa watched the boys so Nick and I could do some more house shopping. We have narrowed our search which is promising. We are between a house in Bridgewood ( Keller) and a house in Lake Pointe (Grapevine)
We have been doing a pros and cons list and so far, Lake Pointe is the big winner. It has awesome schools, it's close to many highways, it's a shorter commute for me, we would be right by Main Street in downtown Grapevine, there are soccer and baseball fields near by, the lake is close by, there is 6 miles of trails out the back door, the taxes are lower.... I could keep going but I think you catch my drift. We like the home in Bridgewood better but everything else isn't there. It's out in the country and takes at least 10 minutes to get to only one highway, the schools are good but the high school is one big HS that all the other schools feed into, It's not near any athletic fields or trails, the taxes are higher, and it seems to be a community filled with people headed towards retirement. Lake Pointe just seems like the better fit at this point.
We are thankful mom and papa were here because we were really able to talk to the sales people and not be interrupted with the need to feed and play with babies. The boys are always so
good when we go house hunting, but not having them with us is a huge help. Thank you Tutu and Papa!!!! We appreciate you!
We were home in time to play with the boys Saturday night and help put them to bed. Mom cooked again and we talked houses all night.
It was another rough night with the LPs. Knox woke up around 1:30. I did everything I could think of to get him back to sleep and eventually made him a bottle and he was out. About and hour later Pman woke up screaming. I skipped right to the chase and made him a bottle. He was out after that. They both ended up sleeping in until 8 Sunday morning. My parents and I were all up at 7. I am in a state of pure exhaustion.
Tutu and Papa had to hit the road Sunday morning and Nick and I fed the boys banana and their bottles and then all of us took a much needed hour long nap! After playing with the boys some more, we fed them, packed them up and headed out the door. We wanted to look at the house at Lake Pointe one more time.
Sneaky daddy. I found this on my phone
There is a house a few doors down from the one we were thinking we wanted that we actually like a lot more. This one has the amenities that we wanted that were missing in the other house. There is wood flooring in the study, wood on the stairs, a backyard with a gorgeous tree, and the media room actually looks like a media room as opposed to a big open space like the other home. There is granite in all the bathrooms which I love. Only thing I don't care for are some of the light fixtures which can easily be changed and the builder will do it for me as long as I purchase them before we move in!!! I am hoping and praying that this is it! This is THE ONE!!! Nick and I both like it a lot. We drove around looking at everything that's near by and that helped solidify our choice even more.
So please pray for us. That we are making the right choice and that we are able to buy this house. Please pray that we get our current home sold quickly and that we aren't homeless during this process!!! This is an exciting time but also very scary. Please pray for guidance and wisdom at this time and that we have a positive experience!
