October 2011 Update

Enough time has gone by that I feel like I actually have some things to write about in a general update post.  I am happy to report that we still have our two, two year old foster daughters (M will be turning three in January!) A.J. is in 5th grade and is doing fantastic! 
As if life wasn't busy enough with the three kids, Cody's work, and my extremely busy school schedule this year, we decided to buy an "investment property" which is really just a  house in our neighborhood that was foreclosed on and sold in an auction.  It needs A LOT of work, but is in a great location and has some nice basic features -  not the least of which is its size - it is more than double the size of our house now.  It is a huge project that Cody is doing an awesome job of managing. It will be great when its all done (at least more or less) and we do hope to move there when it is.  With all the kids we no longer have an office in our house and let me tell you - I am really missing that this semester!   There is still no telling if we will get to adopt the girls or not, but it does seem possible - maybe even likely at this point so that is pretty cool.  We'll have to wait to see how it goes!  In any case we know our family size will continue to fluctuate so it will be nice to have a bigger house to accommodate everyone!  The more the merrier :)
