Family Update

So, Most of you know by now but we are moving back South! I can't wait to be warm again! We love it in Kansas City but it will be really nice to be close to family! We will be moving to New Orleans in June, after Lyons is born. Matt matched his residency at LSU New Orleans campus. We were able to make a trip down the first of April and were able to find a house and we will close on it the end of May. So life the next 2 months is going to be a little crazy but always fun!

Matt is done with school now, so he has the job of packing up the house. I'm thinking I planned this pregnancy great, I'm almost completely getting out of packing. The almost part is the fact that my husband needs my mind a good bit to get tasks completed!

I'm doing well...33 weeks pregnant....AKA...Fat and tired... But I know it will all be worth it! Everything is winding down for me at work, or winding up however you want to twist it. I am transferring all of the studies that I'm currently doing over to their new owners so it is a process... I should be down to minimal work in a few weeks which will be nice with getting further along into the pregnancy.

Mattie Anne is doing great! She is sleeping in her "big girl" bed...AKA...a day bed turned against the wall. It is amazing how small she looks in such a big bed. She did really well and we haven't had to use the crib for a week now! Hopefully that will make the move better, we thought moving beds and houses and adding a brother would be way too much to handle!

Well, I think that is all for now! I'm going to start a post with Mattie Anne's words, a lot for my own benefit. She is getting very smart but I do see the attitude as we get closer to 2!

Cleaning...

So, as everyone knows, cleaning is a constant chore... Now, more than ever before, it is a NEVER ending process! Mattie Anne can make such a big mess for such a little person! We began working with her and a couple of months ago we started to have a lot of success with picking toys up and throwing things in the trash. She will do anything for a "good girl" and clapping! It has become pretty convenient, especially when the trash can is in another room...Mattie Anne is more than willing to take it for you! She even thinks its fun! How Awesome! We are better parents than we ever thought we could be. So, since we had such a good response with picking up toys and throwing away trash we thought it was time for Mattie Anne to pick up some more responsibilities around the house...I mean what else are children for? See below for pictures of Mattie Anne doing her household chores...and before anyone calls child services...look at the expression on her face :)
