I LOVE YOU AND I LOVE YOUR LIST!!!! Thank you, it got me caught up! I'm so glad you found a wonderful place, and it feels so right in Colorado. Are you guys going to homestead their? It is such a great location, we can't wait to visit, there better be room for me in that big ol' house! I'm glad you are going to be coming back to the real world-we've all missed you, looking for forward to pics of your beautiful babies! I must go, my baby is asking to use the shredder! We love you guys tons, call when you can, lots of love!!! (I can't believe that Delia is rolling and tells you when she has to nurse and ECing, WOW! Don't worry, Kellie will eventually realize, and Nora attached to new friends, even when we would go to the playground here and she wouldn't know anyone, she just called them her friends, lol. They adapt so well-you are an awesome momma, good job with all this stuff, staying sane and hot and taking such great care of your family!)

Yay!! I love the image of you nursing Delia in her carseat SO MUCH! We should talk about homeschool/public school. I'm not sure what I'll do with my kids, it will depend what the schools are like where we live, but I think I have some good insights. Can't wait to hear about your new place, and maybe visit it soon! Love you lots!

Glad to hear you're doing well and that your move was exciting and fun and not a total disaster. I've missed you on the Pin and was thrilled to see that you were up and blogging again.
BTW - Welcome to Colorado! If you're ever in the Denver area...
