Yay for working computers!!!

Well all the good intentions I had for updating often must have overwhelmed my computer because it hasn't been working for a couple weeks. Nick just fixed it tonight so I promise I wasn't flaking!

So our happiest news since my last post is that we no longer have to move! I have a very generous mother-in-law and while I've always known that about her I was reminded of it this weekend. She has been planning for a short while to hire a housekeeper to come once every two weeks for a couple of hours to do basic cleaning. She thought of us and offered me the job so that we don't have to move and especially so that we don't have to downsize because we were certain that if we were to move we wouldn't be able to afford another two bedroom. So I now have a part-part-part time job that will be bringing in the perfect amount to keep us in our apartment. That mixed with paying off some bills with the IRS rebate and we are going to be in a good place. God has really blessed us!

Noelle was 21 months yesterday. I can't believe that 2 is just a couple months away! I feel like when she turns two she is officially not a baby anymore and while I'm excited about how she learns and grows everyday, the thought of her not being my baby anymore is a little sad. But I do still have a couple months. She is so brilliant it constantly amazes me. Our favorite thing to do right now is to stop reading or singing in the middle of a sentence and with tons of books and songs she can finish off the page or line without skipping a beat. Her ability to memorize is endless! She also started saying "I love you" in the last couple of weeks. It is so sweet to hear. Nick will be leaving for work and as he is walking out the door I hear "I love you Noelle....I dove you too, Daddy!" and my favorite is when she is cuddled up in my nap nursing she will pull off at random, look up into my eyes and say "I dove you Mommy!"

Anyway, no pictures this post, just random thoughts. Life is sweet right now. My house is clean, my baby is bathed and in her PJ's, I have no worries except to spell check this blog and sit and relax with my Hubby and little one! Pictures will come next time.
