They're Here...!!!!





Last week my sister and her kids officially moved in with us. She got a job at the Longmont Hospital on the Pediatric floor. As you can imagine our house is busting at the seams with laughter, crying, screaming, and craziness!!!! It has been really fun so far, but I am sure as with anything comes stress. She has a son Christian (4) and a daughter Olivia (2). So when Nate is here we have Nate 5, Christian 4, Gentry 3, and Olivia 2! Yikes is all I can say! Regardless of the stress that will come we are excited for them to be up here and grow up together. I have missed having family close so we are loving the transition. On Friday we had to initiate the kiddos into our love for the Buffs so we all went down to the Homecoming parade and then went to watch the band on Pearl Street. The kids loved it, in fact the video is of the 3 boys dancing to the band. The only disclaimer I have is that they didn't learn these moves from me!!!! After the Homecoming parade we ate at Abo's on the Hill and the kids sat in the front window watching all the college kids and floats pass by. They were so cute a couple of people actually stopped to take their picture. At the time it was cute, and then after we thought about it, we weren't sure we wanted random people taking pictures of our kids!!!! All of the kids seem to be transitioning well, (Gentry is having a little harder time than anyone else, but we are working on it:)) and somehow we have found room for all 6 of us in our little 3 bedroom house! I figure there are people who live with far less than we are blessed with, including a roof over our head, so if we can't handle squishing into our little house we are out of touch with the reality of our world and are unaware of all the true blessings God has given us. Although just know, if you come over to visit, just prepare yourself to walk into a circus!

That's awesome!!! Ask Christian if he will come teach Asher some moves because Asher has no rhythm at all! It looks like you guys are having a great time.
