Here are the updates of the last month:
As we now head into month 4 of living at Ryan's parent's house we have seemed to adjust pretty well. Hailey has loved the fact that we live with Mimi and Poppy. She has a new adventure daily with her Grandpa. Although it would be much nicer to have our own home, and our own beds we sure appreciate their hospitality. It's been nice to save the house payment every month. The only thing I've really regretted since moving is putting my sewing machine in the Pack Rat. That was a bad idea!
As for our house, well....where do I start? Pretty much lot 49 (in picture) is no longer our lot. It's a long story as to what happened, but the short version is communication got lost between people and our hole didn't get dug deep enough (as you can see the foundations is sticking a mile high out of the ground). They were going to fix it by giving us 12 steps from our garage into our house instead of 3, cutting out our mud room, giving us a smaller kitchen, and making us walk through our laundry room to get into our house. So their idea of a "FIX" was more of a disaster than anything. So our only real option was to pick a new lot, and start completely over. Now we are looking at a move in date at the end of December. Oh well, what can you do? I'm sure there is a good reason this all happened, so we are just continuing to be patient. The only thing I'm really sad about is that I have to work full-time until our home is built, which means more time away 
from our kids. Speaking of kids!!! We celebrated Hailey's 3rd birthday last month (holy cow! 3 already!). We were going to do a little birthday party with all of her little friends, but then decided it wouldn't be a good idea with all the chaos in our lives right now. So we just had a little family get together at Ryan's parents house. The only thing Hailey really wanted for her birthday was an Elmo birthday cake, which thanks to Wilton cake pans and her mom's determination to make
her own cake no matter how it turned out, she got it! We were also really lucky to score a bike for her for $10 and a Barbie car for $30 that same day at a garage sale. Needless to say, Hailey was a spoiled little girl this year.
Almost 11 months old now, and still no hair, Hayden keeps getting bigger every day. He seriously is the best baby ever. He is almost crawling, but pretty much gets anywhere he wants to go. He keeps looking more and more like his daddy every day. We love this little guy, and are so happy to have him join our little family.We have so much to be grateful for, and so many blessings in our life! We couldn't be happier!

I can't believe how big your kids are getting. I'm sorry the house drama has been just that, drama. It will all be worth it when it's done. We need to get together sometime when Ry's not hunting and you aren't going 'insane.' Miss ya guys!
