What we've been up to....

Geez! I can't believe it's almost June! So for those of you who remember the fiasco we went through with the other house.....we bought a bigger, better one!! The only thing is that it's in Millbury, not in Grafton. I know lots of people keep asking what's the big deal, it's one town over, but we just love Grafton....nothing really against Millbury. We are right over the border from Grafton into Millbury, the house next door is actually in Grafton! Any way, we couldn't pass this house or this property up. It's a 4 bedroom farmhouse with almost 4 acres with it. The previous owners had horses so there are 2 corrals, 3 stables and plenty of room to expand! It's funny how things seem to always work out.
We're closing on the house the end of June which gives us hopefully a few weeks before the baby is born! Right now I'm 30 weeks, (boy time flies!) and when we move I'll be about 35 weeks. If this one's anything like big sis and big bro s/he will be here at 37 weeks. But it'll be so nice to bring the baby home to the new house!
Also most of you know about my new business venture. I went to a party at a friend's house (you know who you are....) and had a fantastic time all the while thinking....hmmm, I could do this...and then...who wouldn't want to do this?? So now I'm proud to say that I am Goddess #2131 with Athena's Home Novelties. It really has to be the best home based business opportunity out there. The parties are so fun, not your typical Tupperware or Tastefully Simple or Avon, this is stuff that can change your life! It's about making women feel good about themselves, making them more self confident, making them feel like Goddesses!! I really believe that Athena's can do that. The products are top notch and everything is confidential (unless you want to share) I like to say that I sell bath and body products along with products that keep couples together and happy for a long time :) My website is www.athenashn.com/goddess/2131 and if you click in the upper left corner "shop athena's" and you can see all the products and order if you'd like or contact me and I'll help you with anything. You can book a party and have the party that everyone will be talking about for years! I do girls night out parties, couples and bachelorette parties. So much fun!!! Especially couples parties...have you and your other half been in "those stores" and bought some thing just to bring it home and have no idea what it's used for or just laugh every time you see it because you're embarassed? I actually went to training over mother's day weekend so I know what all those things are used for! :)
Ok, enough about that (can you tell I'm excited?)
Honor's doing really well in school. Everyday she comes home with a new song. Today I think it was Baa Baa Black Sheep...she already knows her alphabet and can count to 50! Next week she moving from Nursery school to Preschool, 1 of the teachers moves with the kids to the new room so they're comfortable and they'll get 1 other teacher that's new. They really think about making a safe comfortable environment for the kids at the Early Learning Center, I'm happy we went with them.
Mikey's doing great! He's learning new words like "ME" and "NO" which he likes to use often! He also has his favorites like cup, ball and bubbo (which is balloon). I swear he's going to be a jock when he gets older....always wants to play catch or bounce a ball and he's not even 18 months yet! Well, almost 18 months. But he already can throw a ball, kick it and he's working on dribbling! Crazy! He still loves to climb....he's so strong! He can pull himself up into the kitchen and bathroom sinks, which he tries to do any opportunity he gets. Darren even found him almost on the top of the fridge the other day because he pulled himself into the kitchen sink, on to the counter, stepped on the toaster and knocked stuff over (which made Darren jump up to see what was going on) and he was pulling himself up onto the fridge! It'll be exciting to find out what #3 has in store for us!!
