Moving!

So the time has come that we leave the ranch that we have called home for 2 years. I can't say that I'm sad, but it has been an adventure and I know I will look back on these years with fond memories!
We don't exactly know where we are moving quite yet. We have a few different options and are waiting to see which one is the best move for our family. Each place has its good and bad and we need to really find out which place will help us reach our goals the fastest.
Stay tuned for the news on where we end up....though it will still be Colorado so don't get too excited/nervous! But for now I better get back to packing, a chore I despise!

Song

The following lyrics are from a song by JJ Heller. I had heard this song on a friends blog and it seems to fit my life and be my heart's song right now. So I posted the lyrics so I might see them often...



I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
That You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when...

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave...
I never leave Your hands

Big Girl Bed




So I was holding on to her crib still in its box becuase I thought we would be moving to a bigger place. Well Since I can't gaurantee that will happen anytime soon I decided to be proactive and put it together MYSELF! My hands are killing me and it did take all morning but I think its so cute! Cant wait till she has an actual room to put it in! My best friend Jessica's mom made her bedding and its just perfect! I never wanted very traditional stuff for her and I certainly didn't want anything that screamed "baby". This is the perfect mix!

Nicknames

Most of the reason I have started blogging more is because I want to remember things about this time of my life, and of Charleigh's life. So I thought I would take a moment to list some of the nicknames we have given her. Most of which are really strange when I actually think about them. Strange but funny. We love you Charleigh even if we never call you by name!

-Sass, Sassy, Sasser, Sasser Sue, Sasserelly, Sasseroni with Cheese and just about any other word with sassy in it!!!
-Marmot (given to her when she was still on the inside)
-Spydie (Grandma A) Spidie (Grandpa A) They can't agree on the spelling!
-Milk Monster
-Poop Monster
-Baby
-Chaw-leeeeeee

There you have it...A Charleigh girl by many different names!

Silly Tazo



So everyone told me that after having a baby I wouldn't like my dogs anymore, or they would just take a back seat. Well I am so happy that I still am so much in love with them and they are definately still my other kids!!! I do have less time for them, but nap time is the best becuase I can give undivided attention to my little baby Oscar! I hope he isn't feeling left out the rest of the day! Needless to say I thought the dogs deserved a spot on the blog since they hadn't been featured in awhile.
Yesterday, after a long day of work for Nathan (which means a lot of running around for Tazo) I noticed Tazo had snuck inside to lay down, and I discovered him laying half in his bed half out! He was simply too tired to make it all the way in! Poor guy...chasing all kinds of squirrels with no results will tire a buddy out! Take a load off Taz-man, you deserve it!
