Ballet anyone?

Sarah our petite ballerina.



Slowly but surely making a house a home...

Noah's new ball pictures.

Thankful

Now I may have told you this before but I will say it again. I am thankful for the four years I worked at Dr. Factor's office in Phoenix. He is an eye doctor and the training and experience I had there has been very helpful with realizing weird things going on with our eyes in the Lindberg family.

Noah had a scratched cornea. Well, guess what so did Rachel. On January 24, the little pumpkin started screaming all of a sudden and sister and brother were no where near her. I put her down for her nap and when she woke up I could tell she was very light sensitive. I took her to the pediatrician and Dr Whaley confirmed that Rachel's cornea was scratched. Poor baby. Had to have her eye patched for 24 hours and then drops. It's all healed now and she is right back to her ornery ways.

Isn't she cute as a pirate? I think I know what she will be for Halloween this year.

Lunch...

Sometimes hits the floor more than the tummys...

Don't let the innocent face fool you...
She thinks it's funny...
Sarah is trying to look innocent too.
Uh oh. Yes, that is corn, the whole serving on the floor.
There's the truth. Sarah laughing and Rachel hiding her smile so I don't see her laughing too.

A Lot Has Happened since my last post!

Let's see where to start.

Christmas came and went. James and I have talked about how we barely even recognized Christmas this year. We were actually packing boxes on Christmas eve. We did have a great holiday with family.

After Christmas, we had to get ready for the move. We had our finally walk through on Friday the 26th of December and closed on December 31st. Now, I wouldn't recommend that as the best time to move. We lucked out with great weather and no snow storms. We got moved in and boxes unloaded before James had to go back to work on January 5th and the kids and I were on our own.

It is wonderful to have room to move. The kids are not on top of each other, well, only when they really want to be. Rachel seems to enjoy this "sport" more than Sarah. (I'll have to try and get a picture to post.) Noah loves to run really fast through the house. They especially love to play in our empty living room. They play chase and hide and seek. It's very cute.

We are pretty well settled into our routine at the new house and I am patiently trying to make it into our home. I am still organizing and getting things were they should be but will soon be able to put the finishing touches on our home. For now, I will post pictures of our new house.

I hope all is well with you. On a side note, I am a huge Facebook fan and a "friend" of mine posted a link to this blog: www.themcclenahans.blogspot.com. If you have time, please read about this family and offer some prayers up for them. I do not know them but with three healthy kids at home, I can't imagine what this family is going through. They need a miracle.

Blessings!
