I know, I know...
It's been a month since I have posted. Most of the time, I am so intrigued by everyone else's blogs, that I forget about my own. Hah!
Things have been crazy here at the Kaufmann house for the past few months.
Lots happening...
We are still in the process of making some big decisions for our family. The main one being whether or not we are going to stay here in H-town or head out to the country...somewhere.
That is our goal. To get out of Houston.
Not that we wouldn't miss our family, friends, church, everything terribly...but we want to raise Cade and Chloe and any future children in a slower pace of life.
Oh my word I never thought I would say that. Cody has ALWAYS wanted to move to a small town and I would ask him, "What would I do all day? Go to Wal-mart??"
Over time, my point of view has changed dramatically. I find myself wanting to stay home more often and finding fun things to do here. It is hard to get out with 2 kids! (can anyone back me up here? I know my girl Laura can!)
Every time we go see Cody's parents, I watch Cade in amazement. He has the best time of his life riding his Pop's tractor and 4-wheeler with his Daddy. Running around on 12 acres of land where he can roam free. Staying outside from sun-up to sun-down. He was born for that!
So, basically we are waiting on a job opportunity for Cody. There is a few scenarios that could happen.
We are praying for CLARITY right now! That the Lord would make our path clear so that whatever decisions we make would be HIS WILL ultimately!
Hmm, what else?....
Chloe started clapping her hands and bopping up and down to music! She is truly our daughter!
She also has started waving when someone walks in the room. She is still not crawling but manages to get what she wants. Cade gives her crawling lessons everyday but I don't think they are helping.
He is such a sweet brother. Today at the mall, he decided to just put his arm around her for a good 10 minutes while they were sitting next to each other in the stroller; and leaning over and kissing her head and saying "hey Co-e" in the sweetest little voice. I wished so bad a had my camera to capture that moment. It was priceless. Then, he grabs her hand and just starts playing with her little fingers and looking at it like he was just trying to figure her out. She was pretty annoyed at that point. Hah!!
Chloe will be 8 months old this week. WOW!
I will post on that later.
I hope everyone had an awesome Easter rejoicing in our Risen Savior!! We did! I just forgot my camera and we were at Cody's parents for the weekend.
Love to you all!
Here are a few recent pics...
We went to sing at Crier Creek a few weeks ago and got to spend the weekend in Columbus with our pals. The weather was awesome and Cade and Grace got to play on the splash pad at camp and had a blast! I know they are only 2, but they truly miss each other. When we see them, they hug in this long embrace. It is the most precious thing ever and makes Laura and I cry.
Here are Chloe and Fish. Still bound to the stroller. Before we know it, they will be running around too...
Here is Chloe, trying to get daddy's guitar...too cute!
This is what you look like when you get to the Livestock show and get to ride a tractor, see a bunch of animals and eat FUNNEL CAKE! His face is intense. He really thinks he is driving and believe me, he knows how.
This is what you look like after the Livestock show. Too much fun with Gammi and Pappi, too much funnel cake, and one too many pigs in your face. He missed his nap and fell asleep on the couch at 6 o'clock. Poor guy!
