Me and the boys are back in Michigan as of 2 days ago. It really, REALLY sucks to have to live at my parents house for the time being, but with no job and 2 kids to raise, where else do we have to go? Hopefully I'll find a job fairly quickly and we'll find a place of our own soon. This is definitely not the life I pictured for us, and by no means was this my choice.
The kids are doing great - they love the extra time with Grandma & Grandpa, and Colin's having a blast rockin' out on Uncle Kevin's drums that go to his rock band game. And the latest I just discovered from Colin is that he can count to 10 in Spanish! While we were driving, he just started counting in Spanish and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Obviously he learned this at daycare because I know it wasn't me. But I'm one proud Mommy :)
Jackson's 100% walking now. He's been taking steps since he was about 12 months old, but up until about 2 weeks ago he had thought crawling was faster. He's already trying to run, so I can only imagine what trouble him & Colin are going to be causing me LOL He's also a little motor mouth - he doesn't say many clear words (mama, bye bye, uh-oh, baby), but he still tries to say everything. Basically he sits and talks a foreign language non-stop. And literally the kid does not stop talking. The funniest thing is that if he sees a picture of a tiger, lion, or bear, he'll growl. It's hilarious!
I'll hopefully have pictures soon. I somehow lost the wires that download the pics from my camera to my laptop (this happened prior to the move, but still never showed up while packing). I'll have to get to the store to buy a new one.
Anyway, we're here and I hope to be updating a little more often.

Welcome back to Michigan!!! Although, I am very sorry it is not the circumstances you prefer or deserve :(
Way to go Jackson! How exciting that he is walking! And crazy about Colin counting in spanish! Jacob learned how to howl like a coyote from Dora, I keep expecting him to bust out with some spanish phrases from that show!

Thanks for the update... and best of luck with the job hunt. I'm so sorry for your situation. But, you're a wonderful mom! I know you'll be so much happier home in Michigan even if it's on your own.
Congrats on the new blog! ((HUGS))
Can't wait to see some new pics. Your boys always make me smile. :)
Welcome back, Kerry! I admit, I did selfishy want you back here, but definitely not under THESE circumstances. I'm here for you though, let me know what you need :-). See you Saturday!!! <3
Well I love you and I'm glad your back for me! Just kidding. You'll find something soon. You are one of the smartest girls I know. I can't wait to see everyone in a couple of weeks. Colin and Sammie are going to have FUN!
