Crazy Days




Things have been pretty busy this last month.

*I pulled hayden out of the daycare he was going to. I have had continuous problems with their communication and lack of care for hayden. To make a long story short, I finally felt so uncomfortable with him being there I pulled him out. A friend I work with has a sister who is the owner of Tierra Vista Montessori School here in town and reccomended it to me. At first i was kind of iffy about putting him in a strict school. However, after i met with the owner I felt so comfortable. The owner was so super sweet and actually started to tear up talking about the parent volunteers and children she watches. The school is in an old two story house. It just felt so homey and child friendly. Hayden LOVES Mrs. Shelly (the owner). Each morning I open the door to the house and he runs inside and gives her a big hug. I can tell he's happy. He's so much calmer at home and doesnt throw as many fits.
*Speaking of Hayden, We've been starting to potty train him. It's so cute when he does his little happy dance after he poo's in the potty. He looks so proud.
*We're still waiting on word from the state about the next step to jerrys legal stuff. It seems to be taking forrrrrrrrrrreeeeeever. But they sure did cash that check fast enough. We were told that he'd be sent to mexico in December for the interviews and be back probably 4-6wks later, however it seems to be taking longer than expected.
*We've done a lot to the house. Its coming around. I just really dont like the floors. Wish i would have done tile or wood instead. Im going to post some pics of the updates.
*The puppy is doing good. We named him Chicle (spanish for gum) because he just sticks to us everytime we go outside to play. Hes a coward. Major coward. No protecting us there. He runs from the crows that steal his food.
*I love laughing so hard that i start crying. Afterwards i just feel so relaxed and calm. Ahhh. :)



so to remind you. There used to be blue carpet on the floors. And there used to be a wall where the arch is. The door to the master used to be where the diamond mirror is, we moved it to the hallway. the living room area also used to be where the dining room table is now in the pics. The opening to the kitchen used to be where the tv is now at.. we flipped it around so it opened into the smaller space (new dining area) and closed it in so that there would be a bigger living area and a little more.. flow? to it.

Wow! I love your house! But how do you just move a doorway and take out a wall and move a room? I am super impressed. And I LOVE the floors. I know pictures makes things look better, but it reminds me of a house I stayed at in Mexico. It was so cozy and homey. I remember loving that house and thinking it would make a great home. I love your furniture, too. Where'd you find that? You guys have done a great job. You should be proud of your work. More info on Jerry. I haven't heard anything.

I love the look and flow of your house. And I love the floors. You guys have done a fantastic job. I love your tastes. It all looks great!
And I am so happy for the peace of mind you have over the new school for Hayden. His joy at going there speaks volume. I am sure your stress level has gone way down.
