Expecting and Growing pains
We are expecting baby 3 next April. I will be 12wks tomorrow.
My two toddlers are growing so fast.. at least it seems so lately... Allen is 14mons now and he can climb up and down the stairs, he scales furniture like a monkey and eats like he has the stomach of an elephant. Amelia is a ball of fire, she is lil miss attitude, she is in dance and is in a homebased preschool program. I wish I could just freeze them at the ages they are at. It's bittersweet any time a baby starts becoming independent and having two that are needing you less every day is tough. I know it's a good thing because this baby will need a lot of my time and energy when he/she comes but still I want them to stay little just a little bit longer. It's hard to believe before I know it I'll be a mother of 3. Our little family is growing.

Odd Morning in the Montgomery House
Had a creepy morning...I woke up needing to use the bathroom like always. I had fallen asleep on the couch and the tv and dvr had shut themselves off during the night leaving me in the dark. I heard Allen start to babble upstairs and I heard what I thought was Amelia talking to him. Thinking Amelia had woke him up; as she often does, I headed up to check on them. To my surprise I walked in to find Allen alone in the room. Amelia was still out cold in her bed. I brought Allen to daddy for a diaper change. I went down with his bottle as I entered the kitchen this toy (which has creepily gone off randomly since we got it) started going nuts in the dining room. I stood in the kitchen at the sink struggling to wash the bottle which somehow seemed to be completely coated with sugar crystals despite the fact no sugary drink had been in it. I could hear rustling in the basement when I turned the water off. My first response was "it's just the cat"...that was until I nearly tripped over her while turning to walk into the livingroom..I got Allen and laid him in his crib with a sippy cup I had finally resorted to because I could not get the mysterious 'sugar crystals' out of the bottle. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth but when I opened the cabinet my toothbrush was not in it's place. I was stunned..having had habitually and nearly robotically have place my toothbrush in the same cup in the same place in the cabinet since moving in this was odd.. I looked all over the counter and checked the floor.. then I opened the the top drawer under the bathroom counter and there it lay almost taunting me.. I started going over the events of the morning before and recalled as always putting it in the same place. At this point I decided that it could definitely have been Amelia that moved my toothbrush... as for the rest I'm a sleep deprived mom who has been going to sleep late and getting up early for a few nights because of one kid or the other.. I suppose I will never really know the reason for the odd occurrences this morning...

Settling in...and the Boston Marathon...
Both the kids are loving all the space they have to play now. The chaos and disorganization that goes along with moving is enough to make one's head spin. I think I spend more time looking for the things I need to do something than actually doing what ever it is. Crazy as all this moving stuff seems.... it's totally worth it to have my babies happy.
Tomorrow the kids have headstart. I can't wait to show Connie around our new home. I think she will really enjoy it.
Saturday is Amelia's birthday party. I can't believe she is 3 years old. I am so proud of what a wonderful little girl she has become.
So on to a less enjoyable topic.... Today something horrible happened in Boston. It was the 2013 Boston marathon. The streets were lined with people waiting for the runners at the finish line. A bomb went off and then 15 seconds later another. At this time it has been reported that 3 were killed but over 100 people sustained serious injuries; even loss of limbs. This kind of tragedy always saddens us and makes us re-evaluate where we are in life and all the things we have that we should be grateful for. My heart and prayers go out to all touched by this horrible event. I pray that the people who did this are caught and punished. Today proves that God is watching. Two bombs went off in crowds and more people could have died. He was there in the crowd. I pray that the lives lost were on their way to heaven and now can live a peaceful life without pain and sorrow like we have here.

New house maybe...
Entry Way Floor |
Coat Closet |
When you enter the house and walk into the living room it smells crisp and clean with the faint perfume of wood. The sun bounces off the wood lighting up the house like a stained glass window. The living room is large but welcoming. It has hard wood floors and two built in cabinets. The window facing out to the street has a window seat that looks out on the deck.
Living Room Cabinet |
Living Rom Floors |
The kitchen is perfectly sized with more than enough cupboards and counters. The kitchen also has the old tin ceilings. Off the kitchen is a beautiful little morning room that also has the tin ceilings. It has a corner cabinet and windows the look out onto the fenced in back yard. The dining room is big enough to host a thanksgiving dinner in with room to spare.

The upper level is preceded by a grand staircase. Upon reaching the top of the stairs you will find a hall space complete with a linen cabinet. The two smaller rooms are not so small and have the same hardwood floors you find in the living room. Their spacious closets could easily hold a child's clothing and toys. One of the smaller rooms also has it's own deck.

Small Bedroom Closet |
The master is something out of a fairytale. It is complete with a dressing room and full length mirrors for closet doors. It could easily hold a large bed while leaving room for a sitting area. It has large windows that keep it well lit. The carpet is soft and new.

Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
