Posting from our new house!

So, last Sunday, we had a bunch of awesome friends help us move. We moved into my moms house, which is only a mile or so from our old townhome. My mom moved in with her boyfriend and she offered to let us rent her house. We put our house on the market and it took just under 6 months to sell but as of yesterday afternoon, we no longer own the townhome. Our new house is perfect for us. 4 bedrooms, huge basement, a yard (we'll have a veggie garden and we're planning on getting a small swing set), and our big kids already know a bunch of kids on the street. Skylar has 2 good friends who live almost directly across the street from us. We didn't have to change schools and we'll actually be saving money because our rent is less than our old mortgage. Yay! Hopefully we'll be unpacked before the boys big birthday party in June, lol.

Onto the boys...They're doing GREAT! They're both finally healthy and back to normal. I can't tell you how happy I am that they're not sick. We've resumed weekly physical therapy sessions and I think being sick for a month set them back a little.

It's early and I almost forgot a big "first". This past Wednesday, they both started eating baby food! They're 10 months old (6.5 months adjusted) and they are able to eat infant cereal so I thought they're ready to start with some real food. They had organic carrots and they loved it! I bought a few different fruits and vegetables so we'll slowly experiment and find out what they like and don't like.

So, this is the last time I'll post about this (until next year) and I know I've e-mailed some of you about this but I'll take this opportunity to talk about the March of Dimes one more time. Tomorrow, Ian, myself, and all 4 kids will be participating in the March of Dimes March for Babies. We'll be walking 3 miles tomorrow (the high for tomorrow is 88, yikes!) and helping to raise money for the March of Dimes. The March of Dimes works hard to raise money to understand the causes of prematurity and birth defects. March for Babies offers hope by raising funds and they use 77% of every dollar donated for lifesaving research, education and innovative programs that offer hope for preventions and solutions for babies born too soon or with birth defects. If the money Ian and I help raise prevents just one person from going through a NICU experience like ours, we've accomplished our goal.

So, the walk is tomorrow and we've almost met our goal. I'm asking you to please consider making a donation to sponsor our walk. No amount is too small. I will be taking lots of pictures and I will be sure to share them with on here.

Here's a recent picture of the boys. This is from Tuesday afternoon. We took a walk to get Skylar off the bus since it was his first time on his new bus.
