First of all.... We are in the process of buying our first home! Daniel let me pick it out and do everything all on my own while he is deployed. I told him that I had found a house that I loved and wanted to buy and I thought his response would be to wait until he got home BUT he said as long as I loved it, he loved it and so we have signed a contract and we sign on May 5th and will move in May 8th! I love the neighborhood, it is like a neighborhood out of a magazine! Kids everywhere, everyone is around the same age, a lot of military and a lot of my new girlfriends live in this community. Benson's best girlfriend from school will be our next door neighbor and then Britton's best friend will live across the street from us! So I am in the process of packing up and moving by myself (well of course people will help me actually do the move), but I can't wait to have it all set up before Daniel gets home! PICTURES TO COME (once it is all set up and cute)!
Then... Edward is 5 months old. WOW time is flying! He is 17 pounds and funny as can be. He still has his same personality of loving and a cuddler, but SO demanding, he knows what he wants and when he wants it. We butt heads sometimes! HA HA I tried to feed him some rice cereal but he won't eat it, but he will eat gerber baby food through a bottle NOT BY SPOON, he is so particular. He is so LOVED by his brothers, they just think he is the best thing in the world! They keep asking for another baby because they want a girl.... we'll see. I thought Edward would be our last, but I think he needs a little play pal!
I have also made some great new girlfriends that have literally saved my sanity! Tina Ward and Jen Pearsons. They will be living in the same neighborhood as us (when we move) and they are just two girls I have fallen in love with! They are so sweet and have totally taken me in! Tina and I do sleep overs because her husband is also military and gone (not deployed but at military schools) and it is nice to just have a girl to hang out with that knows how it is. She has two little boys that are 3 and 1, and all the kids play so well together. I can't wait to live by them! Plus Daniel just bought a Harley and is so excited about it and Tina's husband just bought a bike too, so I think we will all be riding buddies. YEAH!

For spring break we went up to Richmond to visit Daniel's family because they had not seen Edward yet. It was a blast spending time with them. We stayed at his sister Louie's house and the kids just played and played and played. We were there for Easter so the boys got to do a huge Easter Egg hunt at Oma and Pa's (those pictures will have to come later because I don't have those, Louie does)! We stayed for about a week and the boys keep asking if we can go back. THEY LOVE THEIR COUSINS! Plus Oma got to give Edward a bath! He splashed her the whole time and by the end it looked like she had jumped into the sink with him. He loves his bath time!

So for now that brings us pretty much up to date, I will try to blog more often I just have a lot going on right now with the move, school, the boys and Daniel still being gone.
OH ALSO the boys just started Tball, but I will do a blog on that at the end of the season! BUT THEY LOVE IT! And I love watching it!
