Buying a house?!?

I'm being so impatient today. I know that buying a house is a long process, but I just want it to be mine! As far as we know, there aren't any other offers on the house and it has been on the market for quite some time. I just have to be confident that we can make a deal where everyone wins and is happy.

We didn't even originally consider this house. At a first glance it didn't seem like anything spectacular. We looked at a few other places first, and thought we would take a look at this one, just to be sure. As soon as we walked up to the house, we immediately fell in love with it. The pictures could never do it justice! I'm almost at a loss for how beautiful and spacious this home is for the price. I'm pretty sure it would have sold for a lot more a few years ago, but fortunately we are in the market at the perfect time.

If all goes well, there should be a deal by tomorrow. I can almost taste it!

Three Months

My cute little baby at three months old!

I swear he is the spitting image of his brother, identical!

Look at that adorable smile, just brightens my day.

I can't believe it has been three months already. I really has seemed like time has been flying by. Daniel is such an awesome little guy. I honestly think he is the best baby I've ever known. He is always so happy and smiling at everyone. He is still sleeping great, usually six to eight hours straight, then up to eat and back to sleep for another three or four hours. I feel so blessed to have him in my life!

I hit a weight loss plateau for a while. I didn't lose any weight for seven weeks, then last week I started a diet and I have lost two pounds since. I am usually against anything that has to do with dieting. I would much rather just work out a little more, but that hasn't been an option yet. I'm hoping I can start exercising again when we get into a house., and get back on a reasonable schedule.

Potty Training! and Herbal Tea

What can I say? It's past time for me to be doing this but by gosh I've just been busy. Today is day five of potty training. The first two days were an emotional and physical disaster. Phillip would just cry and cry every time I put him on the toilet. Day three we took a break. Then yesterday we started up again. It seems like our day off really helped because Phillip used the potty three times last night. Once he even went by himself. I was at the store and Mike was home with Phil when Mike discovered a little bit of pee on Phil's shirt. Apparently he went by himself and forgot to pull his shirt up. Silly boy! Today he has used the potty twice and had one accident. We were outside though, and I think he just forgot he wasn't wearing a diaper, no biggie!

Okay, so now on to the herbal tea. I want to start producing more breast milk, and I have been reading a lot about how different herbs aid in healthy lactation. So last night I went to the organic section in Fred Meyer and found a tea specifically for that purpose. today will be my first day trying it out. My cup of tea is steeping as we speak, and it smells terrible. I can only pray it tastes better than this aroma I'm subjected to at the moment. So here's what all is in it:

Fennel

Aniseed

Coriander

Fenugreek seed

Thistle

Spearmint leaf

Lemongrass leaf

Lemon Verbena leaf

Marshmallow Root

Who knew marshmallow was a root? I thought it was a disgusting puffy sugar thingy. I think I'll do some research on that.
